CloudCasa was built to provide data protection services for Kubernetes and cloud native workloads. As a SaaS backup solution for Kubernetes, CloudCasa was designed from the ground up to be a secure, well-architected, SaaS platform that improves a customer’s security posture against sophisticated cyber-attacks.
Calico Cloud has just celebrated its 1-year anniversary! And what better way to celebrate than to launch new features and capabilities that help users address their most urgent cloud security needs. Over the past year, the Tigera team has seen rapid adoption of Calico Cloud for security and observability of cloud-native applications.
Today, we’re excited to announce a partnership with Sysdig to provide container and Kubernetes security together — from code to cluster. Together, Snyk and Sysdig can help developers secure code and containers in development, protect the runtime Kubernetes environment, and deliver feedback and visibility from production back to developers, eliminating the noise of container vulnerabilities.
Cloud-based Kubernetes applications have become the standard for modernizing workloads, but their multi-layered design can easily create numerous entry points for unauthorized activity. To protect your applications from these threats, you need security controls at each layer of your Kubernetes infrastructure.
More than 90% of applications will be cloud-native by 2023. As organizations transition from monolithic, on-premise environments to dynamic cloud-based ones, ensuring access control becomes more critical — and complex. That’s why I co-created Open Policy Agent, also known as OPA. OPA unifies policy enforcement across the cloud-native stack.
One of the greatest challenges in cloud environments today is to ensure rapid development cycles while keeping up with security vulnerabilities. Sysdig and Snyk announced today a partnership to deliver integrated code to container runtime security that eliminates up to 95% of vulnerability alert noise, optimizes remediation, and protects runtime. Developers can be fast with security barriers removed, and yet without sacrificing security.
Managing resources in early versions of Kubernetes was a straightforward affair: we could define resources with YAML markup and submit these definitions to the cluster. But this turned out to require too much manual work, and at too low of a level. The next step in the evolution of Kubernetes was to use Helm charts. Sometimes called “the package manager for Kubernetes,” Helm allowed developers to share entire application setups using a templating language.
First-generation security solutions for cloud-native applications have been failing because they apply a legacy mindset where the focus is on vulnerability scanning instead of a holistic approach to threat detection, threat prevention, and remediation. Given that the attack surface of modern applications is much larger than in traditional apps, security teams are struggling to keep up and we’ve seen a spike in breaches.
Most people are painfully aware that security breaches have increased in recent years, while at the same time becoming much more sophisticated in their approach. Additionally, ever-expanding application environments and continuously evolving workloads have created more opportunities than ever for attackers. What’s not so apparent to those outside of the tech bubble: The world is dangerously ill-equipped to handle the magnitude of these threats.
