Have you ever admired those cool graphics on the web? They look nice but can be the wolf in sheep’s clothing. In this post you will learn about SVG injections and how to avoid them.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has emerged as a cornerstone for efficiently managing and provisioning infrastructure. Among the many tools available, Terraform has gained unparalleled popularity, offering a declarative approach to defining and deploying infrastructure. But as organizations increasingly embrace IaC to achieve scalability, consistency, and agility, a critical challenge emerges: how to ensure compliance and authorization for infrastructure changes.

In the realm of information technology and cybersecurity, the regular updating of software is a cornerstone of operational integrity and security posture. The critical importance of software updates transcends mere IT maintenance; it is a strategic imperative in today’s digital ecosystem.

Flowmon QRadar integration provides a single pane of glass to detect and respond to Flowmon ADS events directly in IBM QRadar. The integration packages were updated to support the latest version of Flowmon products and the IBM QRadar platform. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems are considered foundational elements in a company's security toolkit.

Within Kubernetes, the Domain Name System (DNS) plays a pivotal role in facilitating service discovery, allowing pods to effectively locate and interact with other services within the cluster. For organizations transitioning their workloads to Kubernetes, establishing connectivity with services external to the cluster is equally important.

The security and storage of secrets is one of the most controversial subjects when it comes to GitOps deployments. Some teams want to go “by the book” and use Git as the storage medium (in an encrypted form of course) while others accept the fact that secrets must be handled in a different way (outside of GitOps). There is no right or wrong answer here and depending on the organization requirements, either solution might be a great fit.

If you’re still relying on VPN servers to protect customers’ infrastructure, you could be leaving them as sitting ducks for cyber-attacks. This may sound like scaremongering, but VPN servers have increasingly come under the spotlight since COVID-19 forced the world to embrace remote working, and then again in 2021 as hackers shutdown the Colonial Oil Pipeline in the U.S. after gaining VPN access. However, VPN is now facing a much larger threat: an extinction event, driven by Zero Trust.

In modern connectivity, the advent of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) has ushered in a new era of network architecture. But most network admins and IT pros understand the critical importance of not just adopting SASE but ensuring its continuous, secure, and optimized operation. In this blog post, we’ll explore the ins and outs of monitoring SASE networks —a crucial aspect that separates a robust, responsive infrastructure from potential bottlenecks and performance issues.
