The latest News and Information on CyberSecurity for Applications, Services and Infrastructure, and related technologies.
It’s not uncommon for government entities to look to tech leaders in the private sector for trends and technologies. Specifically, the Department of Defense (DoD) has made a concerted effort to modernize software development processes and tool acquisition. In this article, we will reference two 2019 reports created to guide the DoD’s DevSecOps implementation and ongoing success.
Calico is an open source networking and network security solution for containers, virtual machines, and native host-based workloads. Calico supports a broad range of platforms including Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker EE, OpenStack, and bare metal. In this blog, we will focus on Kubernetes pod networking and network security using Calico. Calico uses etcd as the back-end datastore. When you run Calico on Kubernetes, you can use the same etcd datastore through the Kubernetes API server.
Welcome to the April 2020 edition of the Tigera Calicommunication newsletter! In the March edition, we discussed context-aware flow logs. This edition covers the next component of logging, the audit logs.
In Part 2 of this two-part series, our goal is to provide security practitioners with better visibility, knowledge, and capabilities relative to malicious persistence techniques that impact organizations around the world every day. In this post, we’ll explore two additional persistence techniques that are being used by attackers in the wild: Scheduled Tasks (T1053) and BITS Jobs (T1197).
In September 2019 Splunk unveiled a number of new pricing options which included: In this blog, we are going to focus on RAP which is short for Rapid Adoption Packages. Rapid Adoption Packages are something Splunk has introduced to help customers get up and running with various use cases across both IT Operations and Security.
Chief information security officers (CISOs) face no shortage of challenges. Expanding attack surfaces and complex cloud security environments have given rise to new advanced threats. Compliance regulations have become more rigorous and punitive. And while digital transformation accelerates the pace of doing business, its impact is often limited by budget restrictions and security talent gaps. At Splunk we talk to hundreds of CISOs every year. Here's what they told us they care about in 2020.
Coronavirus has disrupted daily life for so many around the world in a shockingly short span of time. Lifestyles have shifted. A new normal, albeit a panic-stricken one, has set in. One-third of the global population is under lockdown to slow the spread of coronavirus. Many organizations have adopted temporary work-from-home measures to keep themselves up and running.
The COVID-19 virus epidemic has seen a 23% rise in visitors to UK independent ecommerce sites and similarly, on a global scale, many companies have transitioned to fully ecommerce-based business practice and are seeing an increase in online shoppers. Additionally, employees are either remote working, self-isolating or ill. This pivot in business continuity means websites are increasingly vulnerable to being attacked.
On Wednesday, March 25th, we launched our Splunk for CMMC Solution with a webinar presentation to a diverse set of defense industrial base (DIB) participants and partners. As I discussed during the launch event, the Splunk for CMMC Solution provides significant out-of-the-box capabilities to accelerate organizations’ journeys to meet, monitor, track, and mature the cybersecurity practices required by the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).
