Sharing and growing your OSS Project with Live Streaming

Your OSS project is looking better day by day. You've selected your preferred platform, frameworks, programming language and maybe a contributor or two. All is well except you aren't seeing the growth of your project as you'd like. Few stars and forks, and no open issues. What to do? This is where you can take advantage of live streaming communities to expand your OSS project's reach, code live as chatters ask questions and reuse the content for blog posts, YouTube and social media. By the end of this session, you'll have the tools and knowledge to successfully start live streaming.

Encrypt Azure Service Bus Data at REST using User Keys

Azure Service Bus messages may contain sensitive business information. This sensitive information should be accessible only to the intended receivers of the message. This information must be protected from the attackers when the messages are in transit and at rest. This blog will brief you how Azure handles the default encryption of data at rest and how we can use our own keys to encrypt the Service Bus data at transit.

Kubernetes Master Class - 2020-04-20 - Detecting Anomalous Kubernetes Activity with Falco

Even when processes are in place for vulnerability scanning and implementing pod security and network policies, not every risk will be addressed. You still need mechanisms to confirm these security barriers are effective and provide a last line of defense when they fail. In order to keep up with threats at runtime, an open-source based approach can help you stay up to date. In this Kubernetes Master Class, you will learn how to manage security risk at runtime in your RKE environments using Falco, a CNCF project for runtime security. Falco efficiently leverages Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF), a secure mechanism, to capture system calls and gain deep visibility. By adding Kubernetes application context and Kubernetes API audit events, teams can understand exactly who did what.
