Using Private Threat Intelligence Feeds on Hidden Security Attacks with Logz.io

Oftentimes, security attacks that were clearly recorded in logs go unnoticed. They are obscured by a large sea of log data created by most modern cloud environments. In some cases, like during a DDoS attack, there will be a huge spike in logs so it will be very clear what happened. In other situations, just a few logs will document the attack. Finding these logs can be like finding a needle in a hay stack. But if you know what to looks for, it doesn’t need to be so hard to spot these attacks.

Secure and monitor your containers on Bottlerocket from AWS

Sysdig is pleased to support AWS today in their GA launch of Bottlerocket, a special-purpose operating system designed for hosting Linux containers. Orchestrated container environments run potentially hundreds of compute nodes. Operating general-purpose Linux on container hosts introduces complexity for IT teams who must patch and update packages across their clusters. Worse, features and packages that are not necessary for running containers, introduce unnecessary security exposure.

Visibility and Troubleshooting Modern Applications with Calico Enterprise and OpenShift

Red Hat OpenShift is a great platform for hosting microservices, enabling developers to get up and running quickly. However, taking the next step from development to production imposes additional networking, security, and compliance requirements that must be addressed before Kubernetes apps can be widely deployed. Traditional networking tools, which were designed for relatively static IP environments, don’t have the context necessary to identify Kubernetes traffic flows, making it nearly impossible to effectively diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve application connectivity issues.

Beyond SLAs: Getting to the Core of Service Delivery With XLAs

As a consumer, you most likely can agree that the overall experience in the buying process is equally, if not more, important than the product or service itself. Forbes actually says 73% of consumers say a good experience is key in influencing their brand loyalties. A haircut, a fancy meal, or a new pair of shoes were nice, but what if the hairstylist, waiter, or sales associate was rude to you? What if they weren’t attentive and treated you as if you were dispensable to the business?

Do you KYC?

Compliance has often been a checkbox exercise, primarily seen as a defensive strategy in preventing financial penalties and PR embarrassments. However, some organizations have taken a different approach. They’ve used compliance on the offensive - to give a competitive edge, turning “compliance teams” into “innovation teams”. These companies have improved processes and increased customer experience. They’ve installed an elevator instead of fixing the ladder.
