Dependency Mapping for DevSecOps

Dependency Mapping for DevSecOps Today, DevOps teams use a staggering array of interconnected applications and infrastructure systems to build their continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. These components are called dependencies because they depend on each other to enhance the functionality of an application. While dependencies shorten the release cycle and simplify developers’ lives, without proper security in place, these pipelines can be exposed to critical risks. In a worst-case scenario, it can cause…

TLS Connection Cryptographic Protocol Vulnerabilities

Why Your TLS Connection May Not be as Secure as You Think The Transport Layer Security (TLS) cryptographic protocol is the backbone of encryption on the Internet. It prevents eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery between two communicating network endpoints. TLS secures many types of Internet communication, including web browsing, email, instant messaging, and voice over IP (VoIP). However, a misconfiguration in TLS can open the doors to multiple vulnerabilities. This blog post explores the risks…

An in-depth HTTP Strict Transport Security Tutorial

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is an Internet standard and policy that tells the browser to only interact with websites using a secure HTTPS connection. When a web browser receives an HSTS policy from a website, it automatically uses HTTPS for all future communications with that website, even if the user attempts to use HTTP. This ensures all communications between a browser and website are secure and can’t be intercepted or tampered with by an…

When and How to Use AWS Graviton

Announced in 2018, AWS Graviton is a line of processors specifically developed for cloud applications that run at scale. Currently the largest hyper-scaler in the world, AWS continues to develop and launch new services for its customers. This includes introducing EC2-A1 instance-supporting processors for client workloads that use Azure DevOps Services (ARM) instructions. This led AWS to release Graviton2, giving customers as sizable increase in performance at a better price—40% lower than comparable x86-based instances….

Protect Your Network with Zero-Day Threat Protection

Zero-day threats refer to a class of vulnerabilities that are detected in a system or device but have yet to be patched by the vendor community. Typically targeted towards a specific company, device, or application, a successful zero-day attack can inflict significant damage across an organization. For example, DataProt reports that ransomware attacks are expected to occur every 11 seconds and cost over $20 billion globally per annum. Past experience indicates that threat actors target…

Why Chaos Engineering is a Good Stress Test Strategy

Expect the unexpected. This adage is perhaps one of the best slogans for testing distributed software. But how exactly do you test for the unexpected? Chaos engineering gets close to the answer. Chaos engineering helps you design more resilient systems. This is achieved by forcing you to think about how these systems will respond to unexpected events. It gives you confidence that your system will be able to handle real-world conditions, not just the idealized…
