Sysdig 2019 Container Usage Report: New Kubernetes and security insights

We’re excited today to release the Sysdig 2019 Container Usage Report. Continued momentum for Kubernetes and greater adoption of cloud-native architectures are changing not just usage patterns, but processes and organizational structures as well. One of the surprising insights this year is the 2X increase in the number of containers that live for less than five minutes. As services grow more dynamic, cloud teams are recognizing the need to integrate security into their DevOps processes.

Image scanning for Azure Pipelines

In this blog post, you’ll learn how to setup image scanning for Azure Pipelines using Sysdig Secure DevOps Platform. Azure DevOps gives teams tools like version control, reporting, project management, automated builds, lab management, testing, and release management. Azure Pipelines automates the execution of CI/CD tasks, like building the container images when a commit is pushed to your git repository or performing vulnerability scanning on the container image.

How to detect CVE-2019-14287 using Falco

A recent flaw, CVE-2019-14287, has been found in sudo. In this blogpost, we are going to show you how to use Falco or Sysdig Secure, to detect any exploit attempts against this vulnerability. sudo allows users to run commands with other user privileges. It is typically used to allow unprivileged users to execute commands as root. The issue exists in the way sudo has implemented running commands with an arbitrary user ID in versions earlier than 1.8.28.

Falco in the open

One of the most successful aspects of Kubernetes is how functional the open source community was able to operate. Kubernetes broke itself down in smaller sections called special interest groups, that operate similarly to subsections of the kernel. Each group is responsible for a single domain, and sets their own pace. One of the most important things to a Kubernetes SIG, is the residual SIG calls.

Introducing the new Sysdig Secure policy editor

Among many other features Sysdig Secure version 2.4 introduces a new and improved runtime policy editor, along with a comprehensive library combining out-of-the-box run-time policies from our threat research teams, container-specific compliance standards, Kubernetes security and Falco opensource community rules.

Sysdig Secure 2.4 introduces runtime profiling for anomaly detection + new policy editor for enhanced security.

Today, we are excited to announce the launch of Sysdig Secure 2.4! With this release, Sysdig adds runtime profiling to enhance anomaly detection and introduces brand new interfaces that improve runtime security policy creation and vulnerability reporting. These features are focused on upgrading the experience of creating your security policy to detect security threats and attacks to your infrastructure and apps.

33 Kubernetes security tools

Kubernetes security tools … there are so freaking many of them; with different purposes, scopes and licenses. That’s why we decided to create this Kubernetes security tools list, including open source projects and commercial platforms from different vendors, to help you choose the ones that look more interesting to you and guide you in the right direction depending on your Kubernetes security needs.

How to detect Kubernetes vulnerability CVE-2019-11246 using Falco

A recent CNCF-sponsored Kubernetes security audit uncovered CVE-2019-11246, a high-severity vulnerability affecting the command-line kubectl tool. If exploited, it could lead to a directory traversal, allowing a malicious container to replace or create files on a user’s workstation. This vulnerability stemmed from an incomplete fix of a previously disclosed vulnerability (CVE-2019-1002101). Are you vulnerable?

Sysdig Secure now integrates with AWS Security Hub

Today, Sysdig is proud to announce our integration with the AWS Security Hub. AWS Security Hub consolidates alerts and findings from multiple AWS services including, Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon Inspector, as well as from AWS Partner Network (APN) security solutions, which Sysdig is already a part of. This single pane of glass gives you a comprehensive view of high-priority security alerts and compliance status across AWS accounts.
