CVE-2025-1094 presents a critical challenge to established SQL security paradigms, effectively circumventing fundamental best practices. Though initially reported over a month ago, the gravity of its implications warrants an extensive analysis. This vulnerability challenges the long-held assumption that proper escaping guarantees protection against SQL injection attacks.

The cybersecurity landscape has dramatically shifted with the rise of cloud computing. While Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) have proven valuable in protecting traditional endpoints, the cloud introduces a new set of challenges. This post examines why these solutions, rooted in endpoint-centric approaches, may fall short in the cloud, highlighting the need for a new generation of cloud protection strategies designed for SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS environments.

Runtime security is all about real-time protection, actively monitoring and responding to threats as they happen, not just hardening, setting up barriers or reacting to attacks after the fact. Think of it this way: traditional security measures prevent most intruders, but what about the ones that manage to get in? Runtime security alerts you to any suspicious activity and takes immediate action to stop it. Why is this so important for containers?

We’re excited to announce that Kubescape has officially entered the CNCF Incubating stage! This achievement marks a huge step for the project. The 2021 idea, devised by Ben Hirschberg, ARMO CTO and Co-founder, to create a simple tool for scanning Kubernetes clusters against NSA-CISA hardening guidelines, has since developed, expanded, improved and matured. Kubescape is now a robust, full-fledged security platform, all thanks to the amazing support from the Kubescape community and CNCF.

Kubernetes security is an evolving challenge, and staying compliant with industry best practices is crucial. That’s why we’re excited to announce that ARMO now supports the latest CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.10! Get your Kubernetes Security Checklist now.

We are thrilled to announce that Cloud Compliance is now available in ARMO platform, providing security and compliance teams with a powerful way to assess and maintain compliance across their AWS environments. With this new capability, ARMO automatically scans your cloud assets against industry-leading frameworks, ensuring that your cloud security posture aligns with best practices and regulatory requirements.

While Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and hardening are crucial security processes for maintaining a strong security posture, applications are most vulnerable during runtime, where unexpected threats can emerge. CSPM tools continuously scan cloud environments to detect misconfigurations, enforce compliance, and prioritize risks based on potential impact. However, runtime security becomes essential for addressing dynamic threats.

Unlike static environments, cloud workloads are constantly shifting, with containers and virtual machines spinning up and down, and crucial sensitive information flowing dynamically across multiple platforms. Recent incidents, such as the increase in container-based malware infections and cloud misconfigurations resulting in major data breaches, have highlighted the need for runtime security.

Exciting news for ARMO Platform users! We’re thrilled to announce the new version of container registry scanning to our suite of security features. This powerful enhanced capability improves your container security posture by allowing you to detect vulnerabilities earlier in the development process.

In today’s landscape of microservices, Kubernetes, and cloud environments, attacks can come from multiple vectors, with varying degrees of complexity. Understanding these vectors and how to detect them is crucial for securing your infrastructure and applications. This post will explore various attack scenarios including SQL Injection and Cluster Takeover, structured around the 4 Cs of cloud security: Cloud, Cluster (Kubernetes), Container (workload), and Code (application).
