Data security is on every priority list in 2022. With the frequency of breaches never higher, many businesses assess their situation and ask cybersecurity questions. With cybersecurity policy, everything boils down to risk. Ultimately, every decision-maker wants to know, “how likely are we to be attacked?” Many believe cybercriminals only target certain kinds of data. Sensitive information, high-value financial data, and medical records are all widely accepted to carry a high risk.

With the rising tide of data breach awareness, your senior leadership is asking you to mitigate cybersecurity risk with security analytics. You’ve built up the use cases and started researching different platforms. Then, you realized: you’re not sure you have the budget. The typical security analytics platforms come with upfront technology costs as well as the “hidden fees” associated with training your team members. You know you need to use analytics to help mitigate risk.

An important part of any Kubernetes cluster is the underlying containers. Containers are the workloads that your business relies on, what your customers engage with, and what shapes your networking infrastructure. Long story short, containers are arguably the soul of any containerized environment. One of the most popular open-source container orchestration systems, Kubernetes, has a modular architecture.

We already live in a post-apocalyptic future that has nothing to envy to great franchises like Mad Max or Blade Runner. Proof of this are pollution, pandemics and the fact that your most intimate secrets can be violated because your most impenetrable slogans are in a database of leaked passwords. Do you feel that pinch? It’s fear and cruel reality knocking at your door at the same time. But, well, let’s stand by. Just as Mel Gibson or Harrison Ford would do in their sci-fi plots.

Databases are great for data processing and storage. However, in many cases it is better or easier to work with data in files on a file system, some tools even cannot access the data in any other way. When a database (DB) is created in a database management system (DBMS) using a file system as its data storage, it of course uses files on the given file system to store the data.

On March 29, 2022, a critical vulnerability targeting the Spring Java framework was disclosed by VMware. This severe vulnerability is identified as a separate vulnerability inside Spring Core, tracked as CVE-2022-22965 and canonically named “Spring4Shell” or “SpringShell”, leveraging class injection leading to a full remote code execution (RCE).

In today’s digital environment, no company is immune to cyberattacks. In fact, more than one-third of organizations worldwide have experienced a ransomware attack or breach that blocked access to systems or data, according to IDC.1 From the Capital One incident to the SolarWinds attack, businesses and organizations of all facets and sizes are at the forefront of such threats.

Since 2018, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been on everyone’s lips – and for good reason. It’s the gold standard for consumer protection. While privacy laws present challenges to enterprises big and small, we can’t escape the reality that consumer data is constantly mined and sold.

Gartner recently released a report highlighting the top trends in cybersecurity for 2022. They discuss how businesses must reframe their security practices, rethink their technology, and adopt new responses to modern threats. This is in line with DevSecOps trends that we see in the market and hear about from our customers. Companies that are working in this way are taking a more holistic approach to cybersecurity by adopting tools that speed up and, when possible, automate security.
