Recent high-profile software supply chain breaches have sharpened the focus on application security. But as cybersecurity professionals know all too well, concern doesn’t always equate to action. In theory, the rise of DevSecOps best practices that shift responsibility for application security further left should reduce the number of vulnerabilities that now routinely make it into production applications. However, real life is a little messier.
Threat actors will always target the things most important to businesses, and today, that means applications–the lifeblood of the global economy. As the recent Mend Open Source Risk Report reveals, the ongoing rise in open source vulnerabilities and software supply chain attacks presents significant business risk. The number of open source vulnerabilities are growing, just as threat actors are launching increasingly sophisticated attacks.
Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration tool originally developed by Google for managing microservices or containerized applications across a distributed cluster of nodes. It is widely thought that “Kubernetes is key” to cloud-native application strategies. Kubernetes (K8s) runs over several nodes, and the collection of nodes is called a cluster. K8s clusters allow application developers to orchestrate and monitor containers across multiple physical, virtual, or cloud servers.
