The Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security (RHACS) engineering team is excited to announce the pending release of the latest RHACS version, packed with brand-new features and updates. The team continues to build on the 4.0 major release and RHACS Cloud Service announcements last year with a feature-packed release to kick off 2024. The RHACS 4.4 release will focus on increased consistency of scan results, strengthened security posture management, and more automated security features to alleviate monotonous security tasks.Significant updates include:A new vulnerability scanner termed “Scanner V4”

We’re pleased to announce that the Red Hat FedRAMP offering, which includes Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA), has obtained the “Ready” designation from the FedRAMP Joint Authorization Board (JAB). This means that Red Hat is now listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace as actively pursuing JAB authorization, with additional updates showing our progress and achievements across the two paths for authorization: The existing Agency Authority to Operate (ATO) listing and a separate listing for the JAB path. This is the next major milestone from our August 2023 update, where Red Hat was priorit

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been evolving as one of the top priorities for organizations because of the increasing volume of data being generated from core data centers to the edge. Similarly, the adoption of Kubernetes in the past 10 years has resulted in improved scalability, reliability and business resilience.While Kubernetes has resulted in immense benefits, operational management and security continue to be challenging. Managing software supply chain integrity, monitoring the security of container images and runtime environments and enforcing compliance policies can be overwhelming.

Public clouds provide geo resilience in addition to being cost-effective when compared to on-premise deployments. Regulated industries such as the Financial Services Industry (FSI) traditionally have been unable to take advantage of public clouds since FSI is highly regulated from a security and resiliency standpoint.Confidential computing (CC) and specifically confidential containers (CoCo) in the cloud provide data protection and integrity capabilities, facilitating the migration of financial workloads to the cloud.In this blog we will look at the Financial Services Industry and how it can d

IBM recently released their 2024 X-Force Threat Intelligence Index.According to IBM, this report offers data on the threat landscape “as a resource to IBM clients, researchers in the security industry, policy makers, the media, and the broader community of security professionals and business leaders. It’s [their] intent to keep all parties informed of the current threat landscape so they can make the best decisions for reducing risk.”Part of the threat landscape includes an analysis from Red Hat Insights on the aggregated threats that the Insights team can see affects Red Hat customers.

Every system administrator needs to know about common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) that affect their systems. Included with your Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription is the Red Hat Insights vulnerability service which gives you a list of all of the CVEs affecting the systems registered to Insights across your systems or at the individual system level.Historically, Insights has only showed you CVEs with errata - ones you can fix. However we recently released a new feature which lets you see all CVEs - ones with and without errata. Watch the video below to see this feature in action. Y

From FIPS 140-3 to Common Criteria to DISA STIGs, Red Hat is constantly pursuing the next iteration of compliance for our customers. Red Hat’s mission has long been to bring community innovation to enterprise organizations, packaged in a hardened, production-ready form. This isn’t just about packaging and testing, however; we take extra steps to bring these emerging capabilities in-line with some of the most stringent secure computing standards and requirements in the world. Innovation by itself isn’t enough for public sector agencies or the companies that serve these organizations. Inst

Welcome to part 4 of this miniseries on the concept of Environment as a Service. As discussed in part one, an environment comprises everything that is needed to run an application and, in a kubernetes-centric platform, it starts with the provisioning of a namespace.Sometimes, though, we need components and configurations to exist outside of our namespace for our applications to run properly.These external configurations may involve everything from external global load balancers, external firewalls, provisioning of certificates from external PKI’s, and more… just to name a few. Sometimes, t
