Bits of Security, Snyk.io: Stranger Danger: Finding Security Vulnerabilities Before They Find You!

Apr 13, 2021 By Datadog In Datadog
Open source modules on the NPM ecosystem are undoubtedly awesome. However, they also represent an undeniable and massive risk, since you’re introducing someone else’s code into your system, often with little or no scrutiny. The wrong package can introduce critical vulnerabilities into your application, exposing your application and your user's data. This talk will use a sample application, Goof, which uses various vulnerable dependencies, which we will exploit as an attacker would. For each issue, we'll explain why it happened, show its impact, and—most importantly—learn how to avoid or fix it.

Apr 13, 2021 By Datadog In Datadog
From day one, most organizations,especially the big ones, are targeted with a broad range of attacks. These range from information exfiltration attempts to fraud. Although a great majority of them can be addressed with the help of a Web Application Firewall, there are some that require more extensive tooling. Join me as I show you how we use Sherlock and Datadog to block 30,000+ fraudulent users per week in seconds. We will also discuss other applications and how you can implement similar solutions.

Kubernetes Master Class - How to Update Monitoring After Upgrading to Rancher 2.5

Apr 13, 2021 By Rancher In Rancher
Rancher 2.5 introduces a new, improved monitoring integration. It is still based on Prometheus, Grafana and Alertmanager, but much more flexible regarding configuration options and customizations. It also directly ships with much improved dashboards and alerting rules. Unfortunately, due to the necessary internal changes, there is no automatic upgrade path available from the old to the new monitoring. While you can continue to use the old monitoring with 2.5, there are some manual migration steps necessary to get all the benefits from the new monitoring system and keep all the configurations and customizations from the old one.

Apr 13, 2021 By Marty Disibio In Grafana

As an open source company, we understand the value of open standards and interoperability. This holds true for Grafana Cloud and our managed Tempo service for traces, which is currently in beta. The Grafana Agent makes it easy to send traces to Grafana Cloud, but it is not required. In fact, Grafana Cloud’s Tempo service is exposed as a standards-compliant gRPC endpoint that conforms to the Open Telemetry TraceService with HTTP Basic authorization.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Multipath World

Apr 13, 2021 By Patrick Hubbard In SolarWinds
Picture a network—any enterprise network. What do you see? In almost every case, in almost every environment, you’ll find hubs and spokes of hubs and spokes all the way down. For network engineers, their focus may be even more narrow: innumerable clients, lots of switches, and fewer routers connected to a core. This classic on-prem topology has served reliably since the dawn of Unix time.

Apr 13, 2021 By Steve Petryschuk In Auvik
Installing a firewall onto your network is “good network firewall security”, right? Let’s be clear, it’s not – it’s the start to good security. While installing a firewall is an important component of security in a network firewall security posture, there’s much more to the process than just dropping in a piece of hardware, or enabling some new software.
