Falco is the First Runtime Security Project to Join the CNCF Incubator

Falco, originally created by Sysdig in 2016, is approved to join the CNCF Incubator after a 257 percent increase in downloads. The CNCF's only open source Kubernetes runtime security project has more than 8.5 million downloads as runtime security becomes cemented as a standard component of the cloud-native stack.

Mac system extensions for threat detection: Part 1

When it comes to having visibility and detecting threats on macOS, one of the best sources of information for file system events, process events, and network events is the kernel. MacOS kernel extensions provide the ability to receive data about these events in real time with great detail. This is good for providing quick visibility into detecting anomalies and identifying possible threats.

GoCenter Reveals Go Module Vulnerabilities With Xray

Golang developers care a lot about security and as Go modules become more widely used, they need more ways to assure these publicly shared files are safe. One unique feature included with Golang version 1.13 is the foresight that went into authentication and security for Go modules. When a developer creates a new module or a new version of an existing module, a go.sum file included there creates a list of SHA-256 hashes that are unique to that module version.

StrandHogg vulnerability threatens 500 of the most popular Android apps

Earlier this month, security researchers at Promon, a Norwegian firm that specializes in in-app security, uncovered a unique vulnerability in Android devices that allows malicious apps to masquerade as legitimate apps and prompt for intrusive permissions that allow them to: Listen to the user through the microphone, Take photos using the camera, and a lot more.

5 Ways to Detect Malicious Activity & Protect Your Kubernetes Workloads

Organizations are rapidly moving more and more mission-critical applications to Kubernetes and the cloud to reduce costs, achieve faster deployment times, and improve operational efficiencies. But security teams struggle to achieve a strong security posture with Kubernetes and cloud-based resources because of the inability to apply conventional security practices in the cloud environment.

Enforcing Network Security Policies with GitOps - Part 1

“How do I enable GitOps for my network security policies?” This is a common question we hear from security teams. Getting started with Kubernetes is relatively simple, but moving production workloads to Kubernetes requires alignment from all stakeholders – developers, platform engineering, network engineering, and security. Most security teams already have a high-level security blueprint for their data centers.
