Sysdig is pleased to support AWS today in their GA launch of Bottlerocket, a special-purpose operating system designed for hosting Linux containers. Orchestrated container environments run potentially hundreds of compute nodes. Operating general-purpose Linux on container hosts introduces complexity for IT teams who must patch and update packages across their clusters. Worse, features and packages that are not necessary for running containers, introduce unnecessary security exposure.

Oftentimes, security attacks that were clearly recorded in logs go unnoticed. They are obscured by a large sea of log data created by most modern cloud environments. In some cases, like during a DDoS attack, there will be a huge spike in logs so it will be very clear what happened. In other situations, just a few logs will document the attack. Finding these logs can be like finding a needle in a hay stack. But if you know what to looks for, it doesn’t need to be so hard to spot these attacks.

HAProxy Enterprise handles SAML single sign-on for your applications and integrates with identity providers like Azure Active Directory.

As many organizations migrate to the public cloud, a major concern has been how to best secure data, preventing it from unauthorized access or exfiltration. Deploying a product like HashiCorp Vault gives you better control of your sensitive credentials and helps you meet cloud security standards.

As a follow up to my previous “personal policy” blog I have exciting news: An improved CFEngine is available for Termux!
