Sysdig is pleased to support AWS today in their GA launch of Bottlerocket, a special-purpose operating system designed for hosting Linux containers. Orchestrated container environments run potentially hundreds of compute nodes. Operating general-purpose Linux on container hosts introduces complexity for IT teams who must patch and update packages across their clusters. Worse, features and packages that are not necessary for running containers, introduce unnecessary security exposure.

As a consumer, you most likely can agree that the overall experience in the buying process is equally, if not more, important than the product or service itself.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses have faced uncertainty regarding the future. While some companies had to close down temporarily, others were able to move toward a remote workforce. By mid-April of 2020, the number of employed adults saying they began working remotely peaked at 62%.

Compliance has often been a checkbox exercise, primarily seen as a defensive strategy in preventing financial penalties and PR embarrassments. However, some organizations have taken a different approach. They’ve used compliance on the offensive - to give a competitive edge, turning “compliance teams” into “innovation teams”. These companies have improved processes and increased customer experience. They’ve installed an elevator instead of fixing the ladder.

Filters Fast knowingly allowed approximately 3.4 Million customers to shop on their compromised website for over 5 months, in a year-long data breach.

Mobile working is becoming the reality for an increasing number of public sector staff. But the threat and impact brought by the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak has seen many organizations instructing office-based employees to work remotely, as a way to minimize the risk of infection and spreading of the virus.

Security teams can’t defend what they can’t see. As organizations move more workloads to the cloud, security teams need added visibility into these new workloads or risk having blind spots that lead to compromise. In the first installment of our "Getting Data In" webinar series, "Modernizing your SOC for the Cloud Age Starts with Security Foundations," we demonstrate how to quickly and easily onboard data into Splunk Cloud.
