In this post we will talk about using image scanning on admission controller to scan your container images on-demand, right before your workloads are scheduled in the cluster. Ensuring that all the runtime workloads have been scanned and have no serious vulnerabilities is not an easy task. Let’s see how we can block any pod that doesn’t pass the scanning policies before it even runs in your cluster.
Our world has been turned upside down by COVID-19. Whether it's strategically planning our grocery run decontamination process, or trying to keep the kids quiet for even one single moment while on a conference call — things are different. One very evident difference is the change in the way we meet with each other. And one technology enabling this change is Zoom.
Confession: I am a security practitioner. I am also a mom. What I am not is a homeschool teacher. Earlier this year, I spoke to the 5th- and 6th-grade classes at my son’s Innovation Day about cybersecurity. I discussed what it means to be a cybersecurity practitioner and how the practice of cybersecurity affects everyday life.
A considerable portion of cyber-attacks target simple and unnoticed security vulnerabilities, that is why conducting a thorough vulnerability assessment is vital for each and every organization. Read our article to learn more. As the technology advances, a vast majority of the business processes are realized online. Each and every day we share important files, send e-mails, conduct communication with our team and customers, and we do all these tasks online.
Many mature security teams look to the MITRE ATT&CK® matrix to help improve their understanding of attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and to better understand their own capabilities relative to these common adversarial approaches. With the release of Elastic Security 7.6, Elastic SIEM saw 92 detection rules for threat hunting and security analytics aligned to ATT&CK.
Businesses are shifting their operations to a remote work model in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown. While this enables business to generally continue as normal, there has also been a rise in cyberattacks because of this shift as reported by national cybersecurity agency CERT-In. Security experts have also predicted a 30-40 percent hike in cyberattacks due to increased remote working.
We’ve heard a lot about the drastic measures that organizations in North America and Western Europe are taking to protect their employees against the coronavirus. But as we all know, COVID-19 is a global pandemic. Organizations all over the world now find themselves in a position where they need to take action on their policies and procedures. Take the Middle East, for instance.
The unfortunate truth is outsourcing to third-parties introduces significant cyber risk. The news is inundated with third-party data breaches and data leaks. With the average cost of a data breach at nearly $4 million globally, it makes sense to invest in tools to prevent data breaches. This is why cybersecurity vendor risk management (VRM) has become a top priority for CISOs and other members of senior management, even at the Board level.
