The Sysdig Windows agent is a game-changer for cloud infrastructure, particularly when it comes to securing Windows containers in Kubernetes environments. While many endpoint protection agents are designed to provide security for traditional Windows hosts, Sysdig goes a step further by incorporating Kubernetes-specific context into its system introspection.

We are living in the era of Kubernetes. It is hard to find anyone who has not heard of it and in all likelihood you are using it, too. And if you are using Kubernetes, it is probably also safe to assume that you areusing CI/CD to deploy your applications into it. However, as CI/CD and Kubernetes have grown in popularity, the number of bad actors looking to exploit weaknesses in them has grown too.

As Kubernetes and containerized environments become the backbone of modern application development, securing these environments grows increasingly complex. The distributed nature of microservices, the dynamic scaling of workloads and the ephemeral nature of containers introduce unique security challenges. Traditional approaches to risk assessment — where vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and threats are identified and prioritized in isolation — often fall short in such environments.

Sticking to container security best practices is critical for successfully delivering verified software, as well as preventing severe security breaches and its consequences. These best practices are an important part of implementing a robust Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP). According to the 2023 CNCF Survey, over 90 percent of companies are using containers, while 84 percent of companies were using or evaluating Kubernetes.

Docker Zombie Layers are unreferenced image layers that continue to exist for weeks in registries, even after being removed from a manifest. In this hands-on deep dive, we explore how these layers can persist in registries and why ensuring the immediate revocation of exposed secrets is critical.

Container security involves protecting containerized environments and the applications they run. As containers package applications and their dependencies, they offer consistency across different environments. However, this also raises security concerns, such as ensuring the integrity of container images, securing the runtime environment, and managing vulnerabilities in container engines and orchestrators.

Recently, AWS expanded the scope of their AWSCompromisedKeyQuarantine policies (v2 and v3) to include new actions. This policy is used by AWS to lock down access keys that they suspect have been compromised. A common example of this process in action is when AWS automatically applies the quarantine policy to any keys found by scanning public GitHub repositories. This proactive protection mechanism can stop compromises before they happen.

Recently, Sysdig published a blog post about the ways businesses can harden their LLM-based AI applications using the OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Models. So why are we writing about MITRE ATLAS, and how is this any different from the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs?

Teleport provides a secure and scalable solution for managing namespace separation in Kubernetes clusters, streamlining compliance, and enabling financial institutions to maintain both resiliency and agility. Kubernetes has rapidly evolved from a tech buzzword to an indispensable backbone of modern infrastructure in the financial services industry — redefining how institutions scale, secure, and deliver their most critical applications.
