Another outstanding Kubernetes release, this time focused on making the CustomResource a first class citizen in your cluster, allowing for better extensibility and maintainability. But wait, there is much more! Here is the full list of what’s new in Kubernetes 1.15.
Getting started with Kubernetes is really easy. In just a matter of minutes you can set up a new cluster with minikube, kops, Amazon EKS, Google Kubernetes Engine, or Azure Kubernetes Service. What isn’t so easy is knowing what to do after you set up your cluster and run a few apps. One of the most important parts of setting up a Kubernetes cluster is to make sure your cluster is secure. In this blog post, we will go over some of the strategies you can use to help secure your Kubernetes cluster.
One of these problems is that Kubernetes has no login process. Ordinarily, the client software would initiate this login flow, but kubectl does not have this built in. Kubernetes leaves it up to you to design the login experience. In this post, I will explain the journey we took to get engineers logged in from the terminal and the challenges we faced along the way. The first step to SSO was to set up Dex as our Identity Provider.
Today, we are announcing the general availability of our new module within our Global Intelligence Service with a benchmarking capability on AWS security by baselining the Amazon GuardDuty findings. If you are one of the 100,000 users of Sumo, go to your App catalog and install the Amazon GuardDuty benchmark app with one click and see your threats against the global threats that we gather from hundreds of Sumo customers.
In this post, I will describe in detail how to use the Threat Intelligence plugin that ships with Graylog. I’ll start with the steps necessary to prepare your data, then explain how to activate the feature and how to configure it for use.
SIEM solutions are a must-have in any organization’s security toolkit. They allow you to analyze events from your network, gain actionable insights into network activity, and detect and mitigate data breaches and other security incidents, all while remaining compliant with regulatory mandates. Log360 is ManageEngine’s comprehensive SIEM offering that helps organizations meet a wide range of auditing, security, and compliance needs.
CFEngine provides the services promise type to manage the state of a given service. services type promises are an abstraction of agent bundles, they can be used to declare the desired state for a collection of things identified by a name. Most commonly services type promises are used to manage standard operating system services though they can be used for abstracting other logical states.
Gartner has been a thought leader in the SIEM space for the last few years. Gartner’s Magic Quadrant is considered one of the top market research reports on SIEM’s capabilities and vendors. Very recently, I attended the 2019 Gartner Security & Risk Management Conference, and based on thousands of conversations Gartner has had with their clients, they have a good vantage point on the SIEM space this year.
Early adopter enterprises across verticals such as Retail, Manufacturing, Oil & Gas are looking to incorporate containers and Kubernetes as a way of modernizing their applications. Choosing k8s as a standard ensures that these applications can be deployed these on different data center infrastructures (bare metal/VMware/KVM on OpenStack etc) or on public clouds (AWS/Azure/GCP etc).
A critical vulnerability in Evernote’s Web Clipper Chrome extension recently allowed hackers to steal data present in active web sessions. Web Clipper, an extension that allows users to save screenshots of webpages, emails, images, articles, etc., had a vulnerability that provided hackers with easy access to the websites accessed by its 4.5 million users before it was fixed on May 31, 2019.
