Grafana is designed to visualize data in beautiful dashboards, no matter where the information lives. However, if you are considering the hosted Grafana Cloud observability stack for visualizing your data, you might run into a roadblock: network security. The problem is that some data sources, like MySQL databases or Elasticsearch clusters, are hosted within private networks.
In a rapidly changing world, security is more important than ever. With good security, customers can trust organizations to take their digital infrastructure to the next level. But how do you implement top security measures across a large, complex company? At ServiceNow, we use our own products to protect ourselves and our customers—and to extend the functionality of the Now Platform.
Endpoints can be found in a variety of industries and settings, but we’ll be focusing on endpoint devices within IT environments. In this article, we provide a general overview about what endpoint devices are, the purpose they serve, as well as how you can better manage and protect these devices within your organization.
The security of your organization’s network is paramount to its success. With the ever-changing landscape of cyber threats, it's important to take the necessary steps to ensure that your network is secure and compliant with industry regulations. Ensuring compliance requires you to know what’s on your network. But how can that be done when only 48% of leaders and security professionals say they run their asset discovery program at least once per week?
Fleet, also known as “Continuous Delivery” in Rancher, deploys application workloads across multiple clusters. However, most applications need configuration and credentials. In Kubernetes, we store confidential information in secrets. For Fleet’s deployments to work on downstream clusters, we need to create these secrets on the downstream clusters themselves.
Increases in attack surface size lead to increased cybersecurity risk. Thus, logically, decreases in attack surface size lead to decreased cybersecurity risk. While some attack surface management solutions offer remediation capabilities that aid in this effort, remediation is reactive. As with all things related to security and risk management, being proactive is preferred. The good news is that ASM solutions aren't the only weapons security teams have in the attack surface fight.
Resistance to change is always present, especially if you think the processes you have in place are efficient and effective. Many organizations feel this way about their software management procedures until they have a security breach or incident and are left wondering where they went wrong. The reality is that most patch management programs are built on assumptions and recommendations, rather than facts about actively exploited vulnerabilities. Risk-based patch management is the answer to this issue.
