Keeping secrets secure on Kubernetes is crucial for every organization. However, it’s easier said than done.
Kubernetes is quickly becoming the go-to for companies looking to run containerized applications. The big downside? Kubernetes is also complicated. Even those in the know still need to keep up with the constantly changing, dynamic environment. If you’re looking at implementing Kubernetes for your team, you’ll need to brush up on some common Kubernetes terms. ...
Security breaches are what nightmares are made of. You probably have your own ‘nightmares’ that come to mind. Tesla was hacked because their Kubernetes administrative console was not password protected. In another incident, Capital One left their AWS firewall definitions too lax and 30GB of credit application data (affecting 106 million customers) was exposed. Aside from implementing...
You’re using Kubernetes for a reason: It’s the go-to solution for deploying containerized apps in production. It brings so much promise, with the ability to reliably scale. But after you use Kubernetes in production you start to see its complexity first-hand: There are so many new technologies, practices and ways of working you need to navigate to...
Just like supply chains of physical goods, the security of software supply chains is extremely important. Malicious attacks on the software supply chain are an ever-present threat and can cause extreme damage, which is evident from the Colonial Pipeline security attack which took down the largest fuel pipeline in the US due to a compromised password. The software supply chain is...
Kubernetes has taken over the container orchestration world ever since its introduction in 2015. According to a 2020 CNCF survey, 91% of people are using Kubernetes, with 83% using it in production. For anyone still unsure: Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. The term has garnered so much buzz over the...
Since it burst onto the scene in 2015, the industry seems to be constantly talking about Kubernetes: What it can do, the future of it, how it integrates with technology X and tool Y. But you’ll rarely hear concrete reasoning pointing to why organizations should look at using Kubernetes in the first place. As defined by Kubernetes...
Kubernetes offers a variety of security controls, but using a default configuration exposes a wide attack surface and leaves you open and vulnerable to potential risks. In 2020, nearly 7 out of 10 companies reported a detected misconfiguration in their Kubernetes environment, making it by far the most common type of vulnerability. 2020 State of Containers and...
Congratulations, after much pain and effort you finally have Kubernetes working. You may even have it working in production. But how do you know you’ve done everything right? How can you be sure your environment reflects best practices and is completely secure? Here are just a few of the many questions to ask yourself to make sure you’re covering...
