Cloud-native applications that are based on new types of infrastructure such as containers and serverless platforms are being rapidly adopted by organizations worldwide. While cloud-native applications deliver compelling benefits such as elastic scalability, unmatched resilience and rapid development velocity, they also raise challenges.
In a recent post by ZDI, researchers found an out-of-bounds access flaw (CVE-2021-31440) in the Linux kernel’s (5.11.15) implementation of the eBPF code verifier: an incorrect register bounds calculation occurs while checking unsigned 32-bit instructions in an eBPF program. The flaw can be leveraged to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel.
The sheer number of parties involved in a clinical trial results in increased complexity. The ability to tame this complexity is what separates high-growth biotechs from the rest. In order to keep up with the pace of innovation organizations must improve efficiencies while adhering to regulatory requirements, all in a drive to maintain consistent data quality.

Since many brick-and-mortar stores closed during the Covid-19 pandemic, online shopping has grown massively through 2020 and into 2021. Fraudsters have seized this opportunity to strike, with data breaches in 2020 exposing over 155.8 million records, which could be used fraudulently, in the US alone. Carding is one of the most common and costly types of online fraud.
The escalation in cybersecurity breaches as seen in 2020 has continued well into 2021. According to Verizon’s 2021 DBIR , so far they have looked into 29,207 incidents worldwide. These incidents boiled down to 5,258 confirmed data breaches. An analysis of these breaches shows: Many of these breaches were financially motivated, targeting sensitive data that can be easily monetized and lucratively too. Human negligence, consistent with previous years, was the biggest threat to security.
Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) means exactly that: compliance officers and IT security teams are trained to not trust any network activity, anywhere, at any given time — not even on the inside of their own computer network. Don’t panic; ZTA is not as difficult to work with as it sounds. It’s simply a different way of approaching cybersecurity. So let’s take a look at how it works.
