The last few months at Sysdig have seen incredible product velocity as we accelerate our vision to create the leading cloud security platform, also known by the Gartner category Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP). In June, we enhanced our platform with end-to-end detection and response. Today, we are thrilled to unveil a suite of new capabilities powered by runtime insights: Skip ahead to the launch details!
In the modern software ecosystem, containerization has become a popular method for packaging and deploying applications. Alongside this growing trend, ensuring the security of software supply chains has become a critical concern for businesses of all sizes. Implementing best practices, such as signing and verifying images to mitigate man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks and validating their authenticity and freshness, play a pivotal role in safeguarding the integrity of the software supply chain.
This is a follow up discussion of some advanced use case scenarios for Egress Gateways. In a previous blog post, Policy-based routing with Egress Gateways, I explained how to achieve connectivity to multiple destinations using policies based on the destination of the traffic. One of the use cases described was the ability of connecting to different services based on the destination, so we can use a different source IP that can be included in an allowlist for such services.
According to CSO the fines incurred for data breaches or non-compliance with security and privacy laws, for only a handful of companies, has cost $4.4 billion. The global average cost of a data breach in 2023 was $4.45 million, a 15% increase over 3 years (IBM). The challenge for organizations is how to safeguard sensitive information while adhering to the law, but without compromising innovation. Cyber threats loom large, affecting businesses in every industry.
By default, traffic leaving a Kubernetes cluster lacks a meaningful network identity, making it challenging to associate it with its source workload. This is an issue because, in an on-premises infrastructure, companies rely on firewalls, for example Sophos Firewall, to inspect this traffic which loses its identity as soon as it leaves the cluster.
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is essential for enterprise organizations because it provides the tools and capabilities needed to effectively monitor, detect, respond to, and mitigate cybersecurity threats, while also supporting compliance and overall security strategy enhancement.
