Securing your CI/CD pipelines: How GitHub Actions can Help

This post discusses how GitHub Actions can enhance the security of CI/CD pipelines by automating security-related tasks and providing integration with other security tools, version control, access control, and auditing. These days, security has become more important than ever in software development processes. With cyberattacks becoming increasingly frequent and sophisticated, organizations must prioritize security throughout their software development lifecycle to protect their systems, data, and users.

Multi-layered Zero Trust with Yash Kosaraju

For this 18th episode of Access Control Podcast, a podcast providing practical security advice for startups, Developer Relations Manager at Teleport Ben Arent chats with Yash Kosaraju. Yash is Chief Security Officer at @Sendbird Sendbird's mission is to build connections in a digital world, providing APIs and services for chat products with API and tools to integrate into apps. This episode dives into how teams can build multi-layered security systems to go beyond zero-trust to let teams do their work but also provide checks.

Schedule and Automate Postgres Backups on Kubernetes

Postgres, also known as PostgreSQL, is a powerful open-source relational database that has been around for over 30 years. It has a strong reputation for reliability, scalability, and performance, which is why it is used by a wide range of organizations, from small businesses to large enterprises, across various industries. Whether you need to store and retrieve large amounts of data, run complex queries, or support business-critical applications, Postgres can handle it all.

SQL Server hardening

To safeguard the SQL layer against common SQL-based attacks, including Denial of Service, Brute Force, and SQL injections, and to prevent privilege escalations, hardening the SQL server is of utmost importance. Achieving compliance and satisfying auditors also necessitates SQL hardening. By implementing SQL hardening measures at both the application and operating system levels, the organization can significantly reduce its attack surface and eliminate critical vulnerabilities.

Going Beyond Network Perimeter Security by Adopting Device Trust

It’s a familiar nightmare you’ve heard of and might even face as a developer or security engineer: alerts firing in all directions warning that your company’s VPN and firewall — that supposedly “safe” defensive perimeter around your infrastructure — has been breached. And the scariest part is that you find out after the fact — after access credentials and customer assets have been stolen.

Out of This World Cybersecurity

From cybersecurity Executive Orders, to Emergency Directives, to establishing a presence on the moon, cybersecurity at NASA encompasses a wide variety of both Information and Operational Technology assets, some of which are literally out of this world. Attendees will gain insights into the challenges and best practices in securing critical assets in highly dynamic and complex environments.

Dev First Prevention Strategies Using the CI/CD

Watch this office hours where we cover best practices for introducing a blocking/prevention strategy using the CI/CD Integration. Security and engineering teams often fail to find a balance between meeting the necessary security objectives for their organization and ensuring maximum velocity. While security teams view the process of blocking new critical severity vulnerabilities as a basic security best practice, engineering teams often push back out of fear that it will create too much friction for their developers.
