Top 5 CNAPP-Solved Security Challenges

Traditionally, runtime security and development security have been treated as separate problems. Cloud-native application security programs consisted of many different tools, each with its own objective, control panel, and view of risk. These tools were mainly event-driven—they would only initiate scans when alerts were raised. This approach limited the sharing of data and did not facilitate the remediation of vulnerable application components in a simple, prioritized, and frictionless way that meets the security, speed, and…

CIEM vs CWPP vs CSPM

Application and web development paradigms are shifting quickly toward the cloud, which now provides extensive resources for storage, scaling, and networking. With such rapid expansion comes an array of novel and complex security concerns. Moreover, developing and managing applications in the cloud has become faster and easier, which inadvertently expands the potential for human error. Fortunately, there are several solutions to ensure that your cloud architecture remains secure. This article will explore three solutions, CIEM,…

Top 5 Cloud Security Innovations Presented at AWS re:Inforce 2022

A CNAPP can have many benefits if employed in your cloud environment, including: Increased perspective and better context of your cloud environment enables you to hunt, detect, investigate, and respond faster to threats. Consolidated security information allows you to see risks from across your cloud infrastructure and applications in a single compliance-aligned dashboard, leading to improved security posture. Allowing developers to focus on what they do best: developing. By baking security directly into each stage…

Unlocking Serverless with AWS Lambda and IAM

As I mentioned earlier we find the code for our two Lambda functions create-user and get-user under their respective folders. import jsonimport boto3import os client = boto3.client(‘dynamodb’) table_name = os.getenv(“TABLE_NAME”) def handler(event, _):   body = json.loads(event[‘body’])    data = client.put_item(     TableName=table_name,     Item={        ‘id’: {          ‘S’: body[‘id’]        },        ‘name’: {          ‘S’: body[‘name’]        }   })response…

Detect Threats with Runtime Security

Although containerization provides a reliable and lightweight runtime environment that is consistent from host to host, it only adds to the complexity that stems from multi-cloud infrastructure services and the need to maintain legacy servers and virtualized data centers. This opens up a new range of security risks coming from the nature of the environment. A common example of this environment is a container running on a host with a specific network setup, and in…

Event-Driven Architectures & the Security Implications

In an era of rapid digitization, growth can come so quickly and massively that you cannot react fast enough. In a bid to keep up, the software industry developed new design paradigms and operational methodologies—like distributed systems, cloud computing, and Agile methodology. These new ways of doing things had one principle in common: Crush the rock into gravel, and you can do more with it. So, from the crushed rock of monolithic system design came…

Well-Architected Framework: Sustainability

Designing and implementing your business workloads in a public cloud platform such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) can be a challenge. Though the marketing pitch makes it sound as if it is straightforward to deploy and migrate workloads to the cloud, it nonetheless requires a thorough understanding of several factors. This includes how that cloud environment is configured, the platform’s architecture, what services are available, and how you,…

Transport Layer Security (TLS): Issues & Protocol

Posted on by Admin
Unlocking Serverless with AWS Lambda and IAM

Transport layer security (TLS) is the modern version of the now-deprecated secure socket layer (SSL) protocol. Due to multiple vulnerabilities within SSL, organizations require a more robust protocol to coincide with the increasing number of web-based technologies. For example, unlike SSL, TSL allows you to negotiate encryption on regular ports and protocols such as IMAP and POP. This enables secure communication over a wide range of ports and protocols. This has led to TLS becoming…

Top 5 Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Security Challenges

Infrastructure as code (IaC), an essential component of contemporary software, enables developers to spin up software infrastructure while offering systems the ability to grow in a flexible and on-demand manner. Tools that make these configurations based on a programmatic method fall under the category of IaC, including: AWS CloudFormation Azure Resource Manager Helm Charts Progress Chef Puppet Red Hat Ansible Terraform IaC has altered the process of deploying environments for online services and applications.

GraphQL vs gRPC: Which One Creates More Secure APIs?

Every request goes through the HTTP server to the GraphQL server, which builds context and runs the resolver. However, the business logic should remain separate from the resolvers, as it often changes. In such a situation, the separation allows you to implement the changes with just a few lines of code. There are three points where authentication is implemented in GraphQL: Before the HTTP server: The first point where authentication can be reached is directly…
