When working with containers in Kubernetes, it’s important to know what are the resources involved and how they are needed. Some processes will require more CPU or memory than others. Some are critical and should never be starved. Kubernetes defines Limits as the maximum amount of a resource to be used by a container. Requests, on the other hand, are the minimum guaranteed amount of a resource that is reserved for a container.

So you’ve set up a Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) platform. You’re now ready to detect, respond to and remediate whichever threats cyberspace throws at you, right? Well, not necessarily. In order to deliver their maximum value, SOAR tools should be combined with playbooks, which can be used to drive SOAR systems and ensure that SOARs remediate threats as quickly as possible — in some cases, without even waiting on humans to respond.

Content Learning how to monitor the Kubernetes API server is crucial when running cloud-native applications in Kubernetes environments. The Kubernetes API server can be considered as the front end of the Kubernetes control plane. Any interaction or request from users or internal Kubernetes components with the control plane go through this component. Ensuring you monitor the Kubernetes API server properly is of vital importance to ensure your Kubernetes cluster works as expected.

The MSP industry is facing and ongoing movement across customers’ transition to the cloud, the evolving threat landscape, and a skills shortage that seems to be more pronounced than ever. Consider these facts from Gartner: The threat landscape is also evolving as highlighted by some of the following statistics: Data protection is a service that managed service providers (MSPs) need to consider as critical.

When looking for cybersecurity software tools in 2022, it is important to know your needs and how the software can protect you against cyberattacks. In an era when people are increasingly reliant on machines, software, computers, and networks, it is important to have solid protection and make sure that your critical data is safe across every device. Today’s blog is meant just for that – to help you see and choose the ideal cybersecurity software solution.

When interacting with the Icinga 2 API, the client is commonly authenticated using a password provided via HTTP basic auth. Icinga 2 also support a second authentication mechanism: TLS client certificates. This is a feature of TLS that also allows the client to send a certificate, just like the server does, allowing the server to authenticate the client as well.

On 10th December 2021, Apache foundation admitted the Log4Shell vulnerability of its Log4j 2.16 version.
