Audit logging involves recording transactions and system events, making it an invaluable tool for regulatory compliance, digital forensics, and information security. In a typical Kubernetes ecosystem, auditing involves providing chronological, activity-relevant records documenting events and actions in a cluster. Modern logging tools come with aggregation and analytical functionalities so that teams can use log data to mitigate security threats.
When DevOps emerged more than ten years ago, the main focus was to bridge the gaps between dev and ops teams. This was achieved by introducing automation to the processes of designing, building, testing, and deploying applications. But as development teams continue to deliver faster and more frequently, security teams find it difficult to keep up. Often, they become the bottleneck in the delivery pipeline.
The hybrid workforce model is a novel workplace trend that provides employees the freedom to work from their homes while occasionally reporting to their offices. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations all over the world were forced to adopt remote working, or work-from-home, as the new norm. However, as organizations are gradually beginning to accommodate employees in their office spaces, a blended workplace model has become indispensable.
Software development organizations are investing more and more resources in their vulnerability management programs. According to Gartner’s forecast, in 2021 enterprise security spending was expected to break records and grow 12.4% to reach 150.4 billion. But how do organizations know if they’re spending their security resources wisely? The answer can only be found by crunching the numbers.
In January of 2021, CodeCov suffered a supply chain attack that exposed client environment variables. In the following months, the specifics of the breach and its technical applications have been thoroughly examined by the application security community to determine what went wrong and how to combat similar attacks in the future. But another interesting outcome of the breach were the insights into a slightly less glamorous topic: responsible disclosure.
In today’s IT environments, operating systems blend into each other. In on-premises and hybrid or public cloud scenarios, Windows clients connect to Linux-based web servers and Kubernetes containers or microservices. There are several Windows-friendly SSH clients available to keep these connections secure.
