Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

A challenging dynamic exists between the CISO and the Board of Directors. While both stakeholders focus on risk management, their approaches to risk and the language they use are notably different. Though regulations like the NIS2 directive and SEC cybersecurity disclosure rules have given CISOs a bigger seat at the table, the legal requirements and operational prioritization to meet them have exposed a difference in perspective and understanding between the two roles.

In the rapidly evolving world of container security, staying ahead of threats and keeping abreast of vulnerabilities is crucial. Calico Cloud continues to lead the way with new capabilities designed to enhance security posture, reduce noise, and improve operational efficiency for Security and DevOps teams. Here’s a comprehensive look at how these enhancements can impact your security posture and streamline your operations.

In cloud security, context is everything. In the previous two installments of our Customers Care Chronicles, we wrote about how a security vendor needs to be a true business partner and the potential headaches when migrating tools in the cloud. In this installment, we tackle another non-security concept that happens to be crucial for security: environment.

In the ever-expanding world of cloud computing, one thing has become glaringly clear: identities are no longer just user profiles—they are the keys to the kingdom. As businesses race to harness the power of the cloud, they must also confront a growing menace: the risk posed by poorly managed identities. Imagine leaving your front door unlocked in a neighborhood known for break-ins — that’s what weak identity management is like in the cloud.

The buzz around artificial intelligence (AI) is showing no sign of slowing down any time soon. The introduction of Large Language Models (LLMs) has brought about unprecedented advancements and utility across various industries. However, with this progress comes a set of well-known but often overlooked security risks for the organizations who are deploying these public, consumer-facing LLM applications.

DNS policies play a critical role in managing and securing workload communication for cloud-native applications running on Kubernetes clusters. Two popular options for implementing DNS policies are Calico and Cilium. While both have their merits, Calico’s approach offers several distinct advantages over Cilium’s, particularly in terms of flexibility, scalability, and overall operational simplicity.

Runtime anomaly detection is fast becoming a critical component for protecting containerized environments. Recent advancements in this field are addressing long-standing challenges and introducing innovative approaches to enhance security posture.

Remember asking your teachers when you would need to know history facts outside of school? They probably said that learning history is important in understanding our past and how society has changed and progressed over time, and that we can learn from past experiences and mistakes. They were right, of course (even if it might not have felt like it then). And that’s all equally true when it comes to the history of security.
