Is your organization grappling with the relentless pace of ever-changing threats in the cloud? Are you spending hours investigating security events without identifying the root cause of the problem?
Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms – or CNAPP solutions – are steadily gaining traction as the best solutions to address Cloud Native security. Regardless of your cloud adoption maturity (whether you’re PoC-ing some services in the cloud, running a few applications, or fully embracing this new era), We’re sure you have likely already noticed that cloud-native security is different from IT-managed data center security. But how exactly is it different?
The number of detected common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) has significantly increased in the past decade. In the last five years, security researchers reported over 100,000 new CVEs. The highest reported annual figure was in 2022, with over 25,000 new CVEs. This number can overwhelm any security team if it’s not managed correctly between assessment, reporting, remediation, and monitoring.
In the world of cybersecurity, noise is a critical issue associated with Day 2 operations. The complex nature of noise and its impact on detection accuracy and false positives make it a challenging topic to address when creating detection rules, including in tools like Falco. This article will provide some guidelines on tuning Falco container security rules to eliminate noise.
Gartner’s 2023 “Market Guide for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms” (CNAPP) caused some security leaders to question whether they need yet another tool to protect the complex beast that is the cloud. Procuring yet another shiny security product is probably not how you earn the envy of your peers, but if your organization relies on shipping secure applications fast, then CNAPP should be on your radar. What exactly is CNAPP?
Recently, there has been a flurry of announcements claiming to have what we call Runtime Insights, the ability to prioritize vulnerabilities. Here are two examples: I can confirm that this approach works, and it works very well. It substantially decreases the number of vulnerabilities that a team has to manage, sometimes by a factor of 100 or more! How do I know it? Because Sysdig invented this approach.
Today, security and development teams are drowning in vulnerabilities. Most security tools identify issues, but don’t provide reliable prioritization or simplify remediation. To help solve these challenges, Sysdig runtime vulnerability management – part of Sysdig’s Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) – provides a runtime image scanner coupled with an eBPF probe to analyze container behavior and identify the vulnerable packages that are in use at runtime.
Did you know that you can effortlessly make a small passive income by simply letting an application run on your home computers and mobile phones? It lets others (who pay a fee to a proxy service provider) borrow your Internet Protocol (IP) address for things like watching a YouTube video that isn’t available in their region, conducting unrestricted web scraping and surfing, or browsing dubious websites without attributing the activity to their own IP.
The recent SCARLETEEL incident highlights the importance of detecting security threats early in the development cycle. With Terraform state files, attackers can easily access sensitive information and gain unauthorized access to your cloud infrastructure. In this case, the attackers exploited a containerized workload and used it to perform privilege escalation into an AWS account, stealing software and credentials.
Do you like detective series? Have you ever thought about them actually taking place in cybersecurity? What do you think of CSI on containers? Are you interested in how to apply Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) to containers and clusters? If all your answers are YES, you will love this article. The CloudNative SecurityCon occurred in early February 2023, where leading security experts gathered to present their latest research and projects.
