Hi all! I am a part of the architecture team at Avito.ru, one of the world’s top classifieds (read more about Avito here). In this post I want to share our experience in implementing kubernetes at scale. Kubernetes is a powerful orchestration tool that helps us manage dozens of microservices, support robust and fast deploy. It’s really cool that we don’t have to manage resources manually, think about service discovery and so on.

A new monthly feature blog on all things Magecart going on in the news. This summary gives you all the known facts about data breaches reported in the news as well as an insight from our own RapidSpike Security Researcher.

In the new report, “Analytics is making its security operations mark ahead of schedule,” analyst firm 451 Research details the accelerating transition happening in the security information and event management (SIEM) space. The report underscores how new cloud-native analytics solutions are displacing traditional SIEMs at the heart of the defense.

Amazon S3 is an object storage service widely used for storing many different types of data in the cloud. While it’s inexpensive and easy to set up and maintain S3 buckets, it’s also very easy to overlook S3 security aspects and expose them to malicious attacks. A typical example is accidentally allowing public access to S3 files. Several recent high-profile data breaches were caused by lax S3 security.

An emerging use case for containerized platforms has been the ability to deploy applications in what is termed as an air-gapped deployment. This deployment pattern is particularly pronounced around edge computing (more on that later in the blog series) – though there exist significant differences between edge clusters and air-gapped deployments. Air-gapped applications are those that run isolated from datacenter or internet connectivity.

The accelerating pace of technological change is the most disruptive force affecting the financial services industry today, with fintech disruptors making significant headway across every segment across the sector—including banking, payments, lending, insurance, and trading.

As we continue to adopt a digital-first mentality globally, there’s a massive shift to the cloud happening within federal agencies. While the sector has traditionally been slower to adopt new technologies, these agencies are understanding the urgent need to transition from legacy on-premise systems to more scalable and secure, cloud-based architectures.

One question that customers often ask is “why does the LogDNA agent need to run as root?” With IT departments and DevSecOps teams pushing to secure systems against cyberattacks, running a cloud-based logging agent as root sounds like a huge risk. While it’s true that you should avoid running applications as root, there are several reasons why our agent runs as root out of the box and several ways that we reduce your risk of attack.
