Amazon has updated its instructions for how customers should more securely implement AWS's traffic-routing service known as Application Load Balancer, but it's not clear everyone will get the memo.

As cloud infrastructure becomes the backbone of modern enterprises, ensuring the security of these environments is paramount. With AWS (Amazon Web Services) still being the dominant cloud it is important for any security professional to know where to look for signs of compromise. AWS CloudTrail stands out as an essential tool for tracking and logging API activity, providing a comprehensive

In the Linux kernel, vulnerabilities in netfilter, tls, and tty have been resolved.

One of the key components of a container-based architecture is security.There are many facets to it (just have a look at the list of topics in the official OpenShift documentation here), but some of the most basic requirements are authentication and authorization. In this article, I explain how authentication and authorization work in Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift. I cover interactions between the different layers of a Kubernetes ecosystem, including the infrastructure layer, Kubernetes layer, and the containerized applications layer.What is authentication and authorization?In simple terms,

Confidential containers are containers deployed within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), which allows you to protect your application code and secrets when deployed in untrusted environments. In our previous articles, we introduced the Red Hat OpenShift confidential containers (CoCo) solution and relevant use cases. We demonstrated how components of the CoCo solution, spread across trusted and untrusted environments, including confidential virtual machine (CVM), guest components, TEEs, Confidential compute attestation operator, Trustee agents, and more, work together as part of the soluti
