In this blog, we will explore suspicious file activity inside a container and see how to effectively implement a file integrity monitoring (FIM) workflow. We’ll also cover how Sysdig Secure can help you implement FIM for both containers and Linux hosts.

As networks become more distributed and complex, it’s becoming ever more challenging for IT professionals to track all the events happening on their networks. Still, it’s vitally important to do so—logging activity on an agency’s network is critical to determining who’s on the network, what applications they’re using, and whether those applications can compromise the network and user data.

At Elastic, we believe in the power of open source and understand the importance of community. By putting the community first, we ensure that we create the best possible product for our users. With Elastic Security, two of our core objectives are to stop threats at scale and arm every analyst. Today, we’re opening up a new GitHub repository, elastic/detection-rules, to work alongside the security community, stopping threats at a greater scale.

A few years ago I wrote a blog article about the zero-trust network security model and why I thought it was something every organization should be thinking about implementing.

Today’s modern deployment pipeline is arguably one of the most important aspects of an organization’s infrastructure. The ability to take source code and turn it into a production application that’s scalable, reliable and highly available has become an enormous undertaking due to the pervasiveness of modern application architectures, multi- or hybrid-cloud deployment strategies, container orchestration and the leftward movement of security into the pipeline.

Very few things available online are truly free of cost. If you don’t pay with cash, chances are you are paying with your personal information or other data. The Chrome web store is filled with free extensions that users install on their browsers to enhance their online experience.
