In the past, responsibility for data privacy and security fell on non-development teams, like IT, security or compliance. But this is changing. Thanks to the adoption of cloud native technologies and trends like policy-as-code, developers are more focused on security than ever. According to the Styra 2022 Cloud-Native Alignment Report, over half of developers think their organization should enhance its data privacy efforts in the next 12 months.
Containers are used for packaging software and all its dependencies before deployment. Before the era of containers, software developers had to deal with compatibility issues during deployment. These could occur when software functions properly during the development phase but fails to function due to dependency issues in the production environment. With containers, however, all the software dependencies used for development can be shipped and used in the production environment.
Have you ever deployed Docker containers and hoped they delivered safe software? Would you like to get peace of mind that the contents of your containers are secure and clear of vulnerabilities? With JFrog Xray’s new integration with Docker Desktop Extensions, you will be able to do just that. By scanning for vulnerabilities locally before pushing to your remote repositories, your deployed software will inherently be more secure.
Most organizations adopt cloud and containers to accelerate application development, but by adopting a secure DevOps approach and embedding security into the DevOps workflow, you can ensure security controls don’t slow down developers. Check out these key considerations to keep in mind as you put together your plan for securing clouds and containers.
Between February 27 and March 1, 2022, Docker Engine honeypots were observed to have been compromised in order to execute two different Docker images targeting Russian and Belarusian websites in a denial-of-service (DoS) attack. Both Docker images’ target lists overlap with domains reportedly shared by the Ukraine government-backed Ukraine IT Army (UIA). The UIA previously called its members to perform distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against Russian targets.
We are excited to announce the publication of our first State of Cloud-Native Security market report! The report compiles survey results from more than 300 security and IT professionals worldwide (all of whom have direct container responsibilities), and explores organizations’ needs and challenges when it comes to containers and cloud-native applications, specifically in the areas of security, observability, and compliance.
CVE-2022-23648, reported by Google’s Project Zero in November 2021, is a Kubernetes runtime vulnerability found in Containerd, a popular Kubernetes runtime. It lies in Containerd’s CRI plugin that handles OCI image specs containing “Volumes.” The attacker can add Volume containing path traversal to the image and use it to copy arbitrary files from the host to container mounted path. The vulnerability was reported by Felix Wilhelm on Nov.
