With the rise of the containerization technology and increased attention from enterprises and technologists in general, more and more containerized applications have been deployed to the cloud. Moreover, research conducted by 451 Research predicts that the application container market will grow dramatically through 2020, which will continue to expand the number of containerized applications being deployed to the cloud.
Today CVE-2019-5736 was announced which impacts all known versions of runc. Runc is the underlying component that creates containers in Docker, Kubernetes, and many other container systems. The full details of this vulnerability are available in the Openwall oss-security mailing. Due to the severity of this issue, exploits will not be published for another week, giving people time to patch.
If you thought masked hackers in dark rooms spreading malware were your only security concern, think again. In its Insider Threat Report for 2018, Crowd Research Partners brought to light that almost 90 percent of organizations find themselves vulnerable to insider threats. What’s worse is that 50 percent of these organizations experienced an insider attack in 2018.
Earlier today, CVE-2019-5736 was announced regarding a runC container breakout. Given the high CVSS rating of 7.2, it is imperative to quickly patch your systems.
When Honeybadger originally partnered with Slack, it was the dawn of a new era.

Digital, network-connected systems are transforming every aspect of business — from your mission-critical workloads to your most rarely used applications. But the increases in scalability and cost efficiency come at a cost. Because every system is so reliant on network connectivity, unplanned downtime is becoming increasingly expensive.
Today we’ll talk more about the cost tracking for serverless architecture. Following the cost of serverless architecture utilization it might give you insights on how and what should you change or adapt to, to be able to reduce the cost. After all, we’re all always trying to improve our performances in every field while keeping the costs to a minimum (if possible).
In 2018, digital transformation ushered in a radical shift in how enterprises harness customer insights, technology capabilities, and rapid experimentation to drive revenue growth, profitability, and market leadership. Enterprises spent $1.3 trillion in 2018 on digital transformation technologies like public cloud platforms, microservices and containers, edge computing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to improve customer experiences, business agility, and employee engagement.
If you’re a software developer, then you understand how vital application logging is in software development and a critical part of logging is something called logging levels. Log entries generally contain essential information—such as a timestamp, a message, and sometimes additional stuff like an exception’s stack trace. Those pieces of information are useful because they allow someone reading the log entry to understand how the application behaved in production.
