Integrating Dependency Management Into Cloud Services: The Mend-AWS Partnership

The ongoing growth in the adoption of cloud services poses escalating opportunities and risks in equal measure. The increased capacity and scalability of cloud environment lends itself to an accelerated pace and higher volume of software and application development than ever before. This trend brings into play a huge increase in the number of software components and dependencies that developers use in their code bases.

Announcing Mend SCA for Bitbucket Cloud Integration

We’re proud to announce that Bitbucket Cloud users can now unlock the full power of Mend for automatic detection and remediation of open source risk. With the release of our new Bitbucket Cloud integration in the Atlassian Marketplace, Mend now makes it possible for developers to find and eliminate vulnerabilities, all while staying in their Bitbucket Cloud repositories.

2 million .git directories exposed! Why .git folders are sensitive & how they are leaked publicly

In this video, we look through research by CyberNews and other independent researchers that exposes the huge problem of publicly accessible.git directories hosted on web servers. These folders contain all the metadata from a git repository including all the history, commit data and remote host information. These can contain lots of sensitive information that hackers can use to exploit your website and are often very sensitive. We look in detail at what.git directories are, what sensitive information they contain and how they become accidentally public.

TLS Routing Support for Teleport Behind an AWS Application Load Balancer

In Teleport 8, we introduced the TLS Routing feature that can multiplex all client connections on a single TLS/SSL port. Recently we've added support for TLS Routing for Database Access when Teleport is deployed behind an AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB). In this article, we will take a deep look at the problem with Teleport behind an ALB and how we solved it.

Modern Application Security Needs More Than Tech. Don't Neglect Governance

This is the fifth of a six-part blog series that highlights findings from a new Mend white paper, Five Principles of Modern Application Security Programs. Be sure to look out for our upcoming blogs on each of the five principles. While IT and security professionals all generally agree that cyberattacks are on the rise, there remains a great deal of disparity in how they choose to prepare for those attacks.

The State of Kubernetes {Open-Source} Security

A first of its kind survey looks at the relationship between open-source and K8s security. Today DevOps and security teams who deploy Kubernetes are forced to make a difficult choice between two security realities. They can either commit to a proprietary solution that they can’t adapt, access its code, influence the roadmap or contribute to its future. Or they can use open-source tools. But then they’ll end up attempting to integrate several of these tools together.

Can You Ride Velero for Your Kubernetes Backups?

Modern containerized applications are increasingly born in the cloud and the big three managed Kubernetes services – Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) – rule the skies. With more users picking managed services in public cloud as their preferred platform, self-managing a backup infrastructure in the cloud is an antithesis.

Windows 10 most critical vulnerabilities in 2022

Microsoft Windows 10 tops the list in terms of users around the world. Among those users, some belong to IT backgrounds but a majority of those users are not acquainted with IT, which means that they have limited knowledge about cybersecurity and its importance. Companies like Microsoft are prone to multiple attacks by bounty hunters or even black hat hackers intending to disturb the company’s operations.
