There has been a rapid incline in the use of automation in many day-to-day activities, making life a bit simpler. Whether it’s through the implementation of chatbots or automated reporting tools, automation has become a new norm. It’s meant to make workloads a lot easier, as well as improve efficiency. However, not everyone may see it that way. The simple notion of automation taking over your job can cause a lot of stress, anger, and/or anxiety.
As part of our mission to make it simple to secure software at scale through Continuous Packaging, Cloudsmith is excited to announce that we have become an Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) member.

Last year, we launched functionality for users to add policy for reporting data, compliance reports, promise types, and other code as modules. With CFEngine Build, users can manage and update their own policy, the default policy and any additional modules separately. This makes it very easy to utilize policy or other modules written by the CFEngine team, or other community members. In this post we will take a look at using some modules to improve the security of our infrastructure.
