With the growing importance of cloud-native security and zero-trust approaches to software, questions around the level of access granted to cloud resources have become more critical. Equally important is to understand the value of different authorization strategies. In this article, we present an overview of fine-grained and coarse-grained authorization methods.
The Summer of Security continues! Hot on the heels of security announcements at.conf22 and a brand new Splunk Security Essentials 3.6.0, we’re excited to announce the availability of User Behavior Analytics (UBA) version 5.1.
The aviation safety sector is the study and practice of managing aviation risks. It is a solid concentration of regulations, legal documents, investigations of accidents and near-miss aviation incidents. On top of them lie lessons learned and shared knowledge; reports, facts and stats forming a cognitive super vitamin, that the aviation community uses to keep their business healthy and safe.
XACML is an OASIS standard for implementing declarative authorization policy. It was intended to be a widely adopted technology that would move authorization policy decisions out of application code and into a specialized Policy Decision Point (PDP). The terms often used in the OPA world, such as PDP, PIP (Policy Information Point) and PEP (Policy Enforcement Point) all come from the XACML standard. You can read more about XACML in Anders Ecknert’s blog post on architecting authorization.
Machine Identities, Zero Trust….how do these relate to your IoT project? Today’s PKI vendors have specific solutions for managing non-human identities – machines – like servers, laptops, software applications, API’s and other assets found within a corporate network.
What is a Trust Champion? A Trust Champion is the person who helps their organization measure and meet its internal compliance obligations. Their actions support revenue-generating activities, protect their organization from legal and contractual liabilities, and enable the organization to confidently and transparently showcase an intentional, robust, and differentiated culture of trust. Arun Nagarajan – Co-founder & CTO – has led the compliance journey at BigSpring.
To grasp the concept of a Kubernetes Deployment and Kubernetes Deployment strategy, let’s begin by explaining the two different meanings of the term “deployment” in a Kubernetes environment: Kubernetes Deployment allows you to make declarative updates for pods and ReplicaSets. You can define a desired state and the Deployment Controller will continuously deploy new pod instances to change the current state to the desired state at a controlled rate.
This is the third part of a three-blog series on startup security. Please have a look at part one and part two. New companies often struggle with the question of when to start investing in information security. A commonly heard security mantra is that security should be involved since the very beginning and at every step along the way. While this is obviously true, it is quite detached from reality and provides little practical guidance.
Kroll has observed an increase in two social engineering tactics known as “vishing” and “smishing.” These tactics use phone calls, voice altering software, text messages and other tools to try to defraud unsuspecting people of valuable personal information such as passwords and bank account details for financial gain. These types of attacks use similar techniques to the common infection vector, phishing.
Security transformation doesn’t succeed without network transformation. The two go hand-in-hand when it comes to building the secure access service edge (SASE) architecture of the future, and if security degrades the network experience, or the network experience bypasses security, each of those trade-offs introduces more risk to the enterprise—it doesn’t have to be that way.
