Containers provide a number of security features that are not simply available on a normal host. One of those is the ability to make the container’s root filesystem read-only. By making the file system unable to be altered, it prevents an attacker from writing their malware executable to disk. Most attacks rely on writing files in order to work, but sophisticated cases use fileless malware as part of their malicious behavior.
Hosting a CI/CD platform on Kubernetes is becoming more common among engineers. This approach saves time through automation, ensures consistent deployments, and makes it easier to monitor and manage microservices. However, building container images in Kubernetes clusters involves some technical hurdles that require workarounds. In this article, we’ll explore some ways to build Docker images in a Kubernetes cluster for CI/CD processes.
Every Kubernetes developer’s favorite time of year is just around the corner, Kubecon EU 2022! Whether you’re attending in person in beautiful Valencia, Spain, or watching the conference from your couch at home, here are a few reasons why — if you operate any Kubernetes infrastructure — you need Teleport.
Running a Kubernetes-based infrastructure is challenging and complex. Administrators often lament how complicated performance optimization and monitoring are, which can lead to problems in production. Additionally, even finely-tuned Kubernetes deployments can encounter sporadic issues. When Kubernetes starts behaving in strange ways, digging into logs can help you uncover breadcrumbs. These contextual hints can help lead you to possible solutions.
With dependence on containers growing more every year, developers need the best container security solutions they can find, and those solutions have to integrate seamlessly into existing development workflows. Snyk’s partnership with Sysdig has helped us strengthen our commitment to building tools for container security, and growing those tools to meet the evolving needs of developers. And as a developer-first organization, we truly value feedback that comes right from developers themselves.
Welcome to another iteration of What’s New in Sysdig in 2022! Before starting, once again Happy Easter, Happy Passover, Happy Rama Navami, and Ramadan Mubarak! In general, happy spring break, and we hope you recovered from the chocolate egg drop.
Unless you have experience as a Kubernetes operator or administrator, admission controllers may be a new feature for you. These controllers work mostly in the background and many are available as compiled-in plugins, but they can powerfully contribute to a deployment’s security. Admission controllers intercept API requests before they pass to the API server and can prohibit or modify them.
We’re excited to be included in the first Policy Based Access Management (PBAM) market report! The KuppingerCole Analysts AG’s 2022 Market Compass provides an excellent overview of how the access market is transforming and emerging vendors in the space.
The recent cryptocurrency boom has driven crypto prices through the roof in the last couple of years. As a result, cryptomining activities have increased significantly as attackers are looking to get immediate monetary compensation. According to the Google Threat Horizon report published Nov. 29, 2021, 86% of compromised Google Cloud instances were used to perform cryptocurrency mining.
