Container-based web applications built on microservices architecture, whether public-facing or internal, are critical to businesses. This new class of applications is commonly referred to as cloud-native applications. Read on to find out why traditional WAFs are no longer enough to protect cloud-native applications and how Calico’s new workload-centric WAF solves this problem.

The rapidly expanding attack surface often requires security teams to deep dive into their Internet-facing assets, such as root assets and associated subdomains. Conducting these reviews can be time-consuming for security experts, particularly if they have a large attack surface made up of hundreds – or even thousands! – of subdomains. We’ve now made it possible for users to filter their attack surface by a root asset.

Network automation has many benefits for organizations adopting a DevOps model for managing their infrastructure, including speed, agility, and a consistent change control process. However, with improvements in speed, there comes an added risk of configuration errors rapidly propagating through the network. To safeguard against potential mistakes, network and security verification become an essential part of the network DevOps lifecycle.

Firewall logging is an important piece of your advanced security strategy. A firewall is a security system that helps protect your computer or network from unauthorized access. One important function of a firewall is to log information about each connection attempt, including who attempted to connect and when.

Evidence is the currency cyber defenders use to pay down security debt, balancing the value equation between adversaries and the enterprise. Defenders can use evidence proactively, identifying and protecting structural risks within our zone of control. Evidence can also be used reactively by supporting detection (re)engineering, response, and recovery activities, guiding us back to identifying and protecting structural risks.

Headline grabbing vulnerabilities, like SolarWinds and Log4Shell, target management software and end hosts, but if you search for “most exploited vulnerabilities” on Google, you will quickly learn that some of them directly target network and security devices as well as server load balancers. These are the 3 most exploited CVEs in the last couple of years: Would you be surprised to learn that network device operating systems can be vulnerable to security flaws like any other software?
