Comprehensive Guide to Securing Linux Containers in Microservices
Containers are considered to be a standard way of deploying these microservices to the cloud. Containers are better than virtual machines in almost all ways except security, which may be the main barrier to their widespread adoption.
Log4Shell: Changing Cloud Security Approaches for IT Leaders
Security leaders are still dealing with the impact of Log4Shell, and cloud security leaders are changing the way they secure cloud workloads in the aftermath of Log4Shell. New Valtix research reveals that 95% of cybersecurity leaders say Log4Shell was a wake-up call for cloud security, changing it permanently, and that 87% feel less confident about their cloud security now than they did before the incident.
Fortifying Multi-Cluster Kubernetes Security Strategies and Best Practices
Kubernetes has quickly become a de facto tool within enterprise software development environments, enabling DevOps engineers to scale large numbers of containers. And recent cybersecurity hardening guidelines laid out by the NSA and CISA indicate that adoption of Kubernetes has reached critical mass. But this surge in adoption also can introduce many new vulnerabilities and misconfigurations which, if left unchecked, could put many organizations at risk.

Linux Kernel 5.x High Severity: CVE-2022-0185 Kubernetes Escape Threat
Hackers could exploit a Linux kernel bug to escape Kubernetes containers and access critical resources; however, the threat is minimized as any attacker needs to have the specific Linux capability CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
Kubernetes Infrastructure Security: Host Hardening & Cluster Tips
Infrastructure security is important to get right so that attacks can be prevented—or, in the case of a successful attack, damage can be minimized. It is especially important in a Kubernetes environment because, by default, a large number of Kubernetes configurations are not secure. Learn how to secure Kubernetes at the infrastructure level.
