Traditionally, when looking at a virtio device and its corresponding virtio driver, we assume the device is trusted by the driver. We do, however, need to protect the virtio device from a possible malicious virtio driver.

What is post-quantum cryptography? A new type of computer is being developed that can break many of our existing cryptographic algorithms. As a result, we need to develop new algorithms that are secure against those computers and that will run on our existing computers. This is called "post-quantum cryptography".

Organizations across the globe continue to focus on managing security and risk compliance as the threat landscape evolves. Funding for IT security remains the top priority for many enterprises, as reported in the 2022 Global Tech Outlook report, published by Red Hat earlier this year.

What are Kubernetes Operators?

Fedora 36 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (RHEL 9) are out, and both ship with OpenSSL 3 that has tighter security defaults and a brand new "provider" architecture.

Security considerations are even more important today than they were in the past. Every day we discover new vulnerabilities that impact our computer systems, and every day our computer systems become more complex. With the deluge of vulnerabilities that threaten to swamp our security teams, the question, "How much does it matter?" comes quickly to our minds. This question, "Does it matter?", has two parts:

As a Technical Account Manager (TAM) one of the best parts of the job is the regular contact with our customers, talking to them frequently and helping them solve interesting problems. One of our customers came to me with an interesting challenge.  The team creates a new Gold Image every month and they wanted to provide release notes for the image, automatically generating a list of CVEs that had been fixed in this version of the image.

In an earlier blog I walked you through the process of using the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Red Hat Insights Compliance service to: Create compliance policies

Automation can help increase efficiency, save time and improve consistency, which is why Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) includes features that help automate many tasks. RHEL System Roles are a collection of Ansible content that helps provide more consistent workflows and streamline the execution of many manual tasks.

Kubernetes is the de facto standard when it comes to container orchestration and management at scale, but adoption is only one piece of Kubernetes strategy. Security plays a huge role in how organizations use cloud-native technologies, and is typically much trickier to address than simply spinning up and running containers.
