Automating security has become fundamental to supporting the speed-to-market requirements of modern application development environments. Because these environments vary across teams and organizations, security tooling must be flexible enough to enable the adaptation of security automation based on specific workflows...
In order to detect actionable threats, organizations must collect, continuously monitor, query and analyze a massive volume of security telemetry and other relevant data for indicators of compromise (IOCs), indicators of attacks (IOAs) and other threats.
Doing this at scale, 24/7, across a hybrid cloud environment,...
Identifying and fixing security gaps in a cloud architecture may not appear very different from doing the same for on-premises environments. But there are a variety of nuanced differences that can be easy to overlook. If you fail to appreciate and account for them, these misconfigurations can cause security blind...
Cloud security trends like “shift-left security” and “DevSecOps” refer to new strategies and paradigms that help organizations keep workloads secure in the age of cloud-based, scale-out, constantly changing applications and infrastructure.
Many in IT, security, and development probably understand what these...
Investigators probing the supply chain attack that hit SolarWinds say attackers successfully hacked the company's Microsoft Visual Studio development tools to add a backdoor into Orion network monitoring security software builds. They warn that other vendors may have been similarly subverted.
Organizations are using DevOps and Agile practices, coding in containers
and microservices, and adopting Kubernetes at a record pace to help
manage all these components. Even five years ago, the level of agility,
speed, and flexibility the cloud-native stack enables was but a dream.
Since Google first introduced...
In the wake of the SolarWinds breach, NIST's Ron Ross has turned his attention to systems security engineering - and the reality that the adversaries are exploiting it to their advantage better than the defenders are. This disparity, Ross says, has to change.
The latest edition of the ISMG Security Report features an analysis of what we know so far about the impact of the SolarWinds supply chain hack and how to respond.
Based on the results of an independent survey of IT and IT security
practitioners, this second annual report looks at the latest trends in
security operations centers (SOC), both positive and negative. Here
presents an unvarnished view of the current state of SOC performance and
effectiveness based on responses...
For some, 'observability' is just a hollow rebranding of 'monitoring', for others it's monitoring on steroids. But what if we told you observability is the new way to find out why - not just if - your distributed system or application isn't working as expected? Today we see that traditional monitoring approaches can...
Legacy security tools no longer work, as they can’t see inside containers, handle the dynamic nature of Kubernetes, or scale
across multi-cloud deployments. Proprietary security tools can’t keep up with the standardization and speed of innovation
available with OSS.
How can you automate security and...
Like you, cybercriminals are on their own digital transformation journey. Trends like remote work, Internet of Things (IoT), bring-your-own-device (BYOD) and cloud initiatives have given hackers new ways to infiltrate your organization by exponentially expanding the attack surface. Technologies like artificial...
In a credential stuffing attack, this Fortune 50 company saw bots use millions of username and password combinations in an attempt to hijack the accounts of real customers. These attacks brought with them the potential for sales losses, brand damage, and being out of compliance. The limited deployment options and high...
