Two malicious Python libraries, jeilyfish (with a capital i and a lowercase L in the original name) and python3-dateutil, were detected on PyPI (Python Package Index) on December 1st. They were typosquatting similar named legitimate libraries jellyfish (with a double lowercase L) and python-dateutil libraries, a malicious technique aiming to trick developers to use the similar named modified libraries.

Authorization to Operate (ATO) in a day and on-going authorization are compliance nirvana. The ATO is the authorizing official’s statement that they accept the risk associated with the system running in production environments using live business data. The idea that all of the information necessary to make a risk decision is at hand and can be consumed by decision makers is what every compliance program is trying to achieve.

As container adoption in AWS takes off, ECR scanning is the first step towards delivering continuous security and compliance. You need to ensure you are scanning your images pulled from AWS ECR for both vulnerabilities and misconfigurations so that you don’t push applications running on AWS that are exploitable.

Cloud teams are increasingly adopting AWS container services to deliver applications faster at scale. Along with the roll out of cloud native architectures with containers and orchestration, what’s needed to stay on top of the security, performance and health of applications and infrastructure has shifted. At Sysdig, we’ve worked with Amazon to provide tools and integrations that help secure your Cloud Native workloads deployed across all AWS container services.
