October brings Halloween and National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, however, it has also been one of the scariest months for Magecart attack discoveries! Here’s the latest news on Magecart and other website attacks, with insights from our own Security Researcher!

Never before in history has the concept of identity been so vital. To a large extent, everything we rely on to live our lives depends on who we are… or perhaps more accurately, who we can prove ourselves to be. Our data has come to be the standard by which we define ourselves. Because this identity-defining data is online, the protection of our data is of paramount importance.

In this blog post, we are going to teach you how to aggregate all Kubernetes security events across your AWS container services. We’ll be using AWS FireLens to route Falco notifications, centralizing all the security events, such as AWS CloudWatch, in one service.

We’re excited today to release the Sysdig 2019 Container Usage Report. Continued momentum for Kubernetes and greater adoption of cloud-native architectures are changing not just usage patterns, but processes and organizational structures as well. One of the surprising insights this year is the 2X increase in the number of containers that live for less than five minutes. As services grow more dynamic, cloud teams are recognizing the need to integrate security into their DevOps processes.

In this blog post, you’ll learn how to setup image scanning for Azure Pipelines using Sysdig Secure DevOps Platform. Azure DevOps gives teams tools like version control, reporting, project management, automated builds, lab management, testing, and release management. Azure Pipelines automates the execution of CI/CD tasks, like building the container images when a commit is pushed to your git repository or performing vulnerability scanning on the container image.

The landscape of cybersecurity is always changing, and new threats are constantly emerging. One of the newest – and the most interesting, if you are into that kind of thing – is the rise of printer malware. This type of malware started to be reported in November 2017, when Barracuda Labs saw an attack where cybercriminals spoofed a printer to send a malicious attachment that appeared to be a legitimate file sent by a network printer.

Today, CloudSploit is excited to share that our cloud security auditing solution is now publicly available for Microsoft Azure IaaS accounts. This release includes all the hallmarks of CloudSploit’s existing service for Amazon Web Services: an open source core scanning engine, PCI and HIPAA compliance program mappings, detailed security reports including recommended remediation information, links to official Azure documentation, and full support for all 42 Azure regions.

Five worthy reads is a regular column on five noteworthy items we’ve discovered while researching trending and timeless topics. This week, sticking with October’s cybersecurity awareness theme, we’ll take an in-depth look at both the good and the bad of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in cybersecurity.
