Building a Zero-Trust Model With SolarWinds Security Tools - SolarWinds Lab Episode #92

The zero-trust model is critical for building a successful strategy to detect both internal and external cybersecurity threats. This approach requires setting and maintaining strict access controls and "no trust" as the default to all, including those already inside your network. There are several steps needed to properly evaluate your organization's current state before you can start implementing best practices.

Solving Microservices Connectivity Issues with Network Logs

The network is foundational to distributed application environments. A distributed application has multiple microservices, each running in a set of pods often located on different nodes. Problem areas in a distributed application can be in network layer connectivity (think network flow logs), or application resources unavailability (think metrics), or component unavailability (think tracing).

Can Security Teams Benefit from SRE? You bet!

When we talk about the reliability of services, SRE encourages us to take a holistic view. Unreliability in service delivery can be due to anything, from hardware malfunctions to errors in code. One source of unreliability that is often overlooked is security. A security breach can damage customer trust far beyond the impact of the breach itself. Even smaller infractions, like failing a service audit, can make users wary.

K3s + Sysdig: Deploying and securing your cluster... in less than 8 minutes!

As Kubernetes is eating the world, discover an alternative certified Kubernetes offering called K3s, made by the wizards at Rancher. K3s is gaining a lot of interest in the community for its easy deployment, low footprint binary, and its ability to be used for specific use cases that the full Kubernetes may be too advanced for. K3s is a fully CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) certified Kubernetes offering.

Webinar: Exploring Kubernetes 1.18 with Alex Ellis

With the release of Kubernetes 1.18, we saw 40 features and updates added. In a recent blog post we collated these together in one place so that you can learn what may affect your clusters and prepare for change. Now, we go one step further, inviting Alex Ellis, CNCF Ambassador and Open Source project founder to share his take on the changes. We saw Alex’s in-depth article on the recent deprecations around “kubectl run” and asked him to pick four of his highlights to share with examples.

Troubleshooting microservices on K8S

What’s the best way to troubleshoot an application made up of multiple microservices, distributed across multiple nodes and multiple pods? In this training session we will cover a variety of Kubernetes troubleshooting tips and tricks, and you’ll learn how Calico Enterprise can help provide valuable visibility and reduce troubleshooting time in complex networks of microservices.

Extending Your Fortinet FortiManager to Kubernetes

Tigera and Fortinet have joined forces to solve this operational challenge. With the combination of FortiManager and Calico Enterprise, you gain access control and full visibility into the container environment along with centralized management. In this webinar, you will learn how Calico Enterprise and FortiManager enable you to.

Why You Need Security Operations

A fully grown security operations center (SOC) was, until recently, a luxury, affordable for the largest organizations only, but even in global players, budget constraints are real. Unfortunately, the willingness to raise money for security seems to require an incident first. However, we often forget there’s no need for a dedicated war room, and it doesn’t always require a full team. Centralized security can be outsourced.
