Because a lot of systems are connected to the web these days (or, at least, communicate/integrate with it at some level), companies are giving more and more attention to web security. Web security usually comes to public attention when certain events reach the news, for example, security leakages, hacker activities, and/or data-stealing over big companies, some of them really large (like Google, LinkedIn, etc.).
Once upon a time the telephone system was a trusted method of connecting people. While we now spend more time on our phones than ever, our relationship to phone calls has changed -- we’re hesitant to answer calls from unknown phone numbers, often because we think the call is a con. But what if the caller ID is spoofed/modified and made to look like a telephone number that you may trust or a number with a local area code and familiar prefix?
Hybrid cloud infrastructures run critical business resources and are subject to some of the strictest network security controls. Irrespective of the industry and resource types, these controls broadly fall into three categories. Workloads (pods) running on Kubernetes are ephemeral in nature, and IP-based controls are no longer effective. The challenge is to enforce the organizational security controls on the workloads and Kubernetes nodes themselves.
Ransomware is a malicious type of software that’s used to extort money from victims. It almost always promises to restore the data it encrypts or the operating system it locks, in exchange for a large sum of money. Networks seem to face threats from all directions, but there are ways to prevent malware attacks. Specialized software can protect your assets. In addition, there are other steps you can take to strengthen your ransomware prevention best practices.
We live in a high-tech society that has made many things possible. Today, small e-commerce businesses can sell to people wearing their pajamas half a world away. No longer does a business need a storefront to be successful. If you have an in-demand product, you can sell from anywhere with much less on-hand inventory and overhead than you would have needed not long ago. E-commerce has turned dreamers into successful entrepreneurs, and there's no looking back.
Amazon Web Services provides its users with the ability to create temporary credentials via the use of AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS). These temporary credentials work pretty much in the same manner like permanent credentials created from AWS IAM Service. There are however two differences.
Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) are major inhibitors for organizations moving to the cloud—and for good reason. Cloud environments are complex, and even a single misconfigured security group can result in a serious data breach. In fact, asset misconfigurations were the leading cause of cloud security breaches in 2019. This puts a lot of pressure on developer and operations teams to properly secure their services and maintain regulatory compliance.
Discover what registry scanning is, how it helps with shifting security left, and how you can implement it using Harbor and Sysdig. Shifting security left is all about moving security to the earliest possible moment in the development process, dramatically improving “time to fix” and security impact. In this article, we’re going to show you how to shift left with Harbor registry and Sysdig Secure.
The year 2020 has seen various changes throughout the world but no change has seen more of an impact than the Corona-virus. During this epidemic, workers from all industries have moved from a traditional office-based role to WFH (Working From Home). It’s known as a business transforms it brings new risks associated with it. New and emerging technologies and the practices they involve require operational, policy and security measures to be implemented and evolved over time.
