Trend Micro Incorporated today announced its advanced container security solution Cloud One – Container Security. Designed to ease the security of container builds, deployments and runtime workflows, the new service helps developers accelerate innovation and minimize application downtime across their Kubernetes environments, from a single tool.
This new service is an important addition to Trend Micro’s Cloud One services platform that was introduced last year. As IDC stated, “Trend Micro launched Cloud One, its integrated cloud security services (SaaS) platform that addresses customers’ security challenges around datacenter servers and virtual machines, IaaS workloads, containers and containers services, cloud security posture management, cloud file and object storage services, and serverless.”
Global organizations are increasingly leveraging containers to accelerate cloud migration, rearchitect monolithic applications and build and integrate seamless cloud native applications. This can create security gaps that traditional network and endpoint tools are not capable of addressing.
Trend Micro Cloud One Container Security offers three main elements:
Container image scanning
This scans at build time for the earliest possible detection and lowest cost remediation. In addition, through partnership with Snyk there is a scan against the market leading open source vulnerability database. This provides early detection and mitigation of vulnerabilities in third-party code dependencies. Cloud One – Container Security will:
- Look for vulnerabilities in the packages included in the container
- Detect malware using signatures and advanced machine learning techniques
- Find embedded secrets such as passwords, API tokens, or license keys
- Sweep for IoCs using industry-standard Yara rules
Policy-based deployment control
Container security enables you to create policies that allow or block deployments based on set rules. Native integration with Kubernetes ensures that all deployments run in a production environment are safe.
Cloud-native runtime security
Once an image has been deemed safe and is deployed into production, Cloud One Container Security will protect the container in the runtime environment. This offers ongoing vulnerability detection for the containerized application and provides relevant feedback to security and DevOps teams in case further action is needed.
Parler Takes The Next Step In Making A Comeback
Posted in Commentary with tags Parler on January 19, 2021 by itnerdRight-wing social media platform Parler, which has been offline since Amazon Web Services Thanos snapped it off the Internet last week, has reappeared on the Web with a promise to return as a fully functional service “soon“:
Although the platform’s Android and iOS apps are still defunct, this weekend its URL once again began to resolve to an actual website, instead of an error notice. The site at the moment consists solely of the homepage, which has a message from company CEO John Matze. “Now seems like the right time to remind you all — both lovers and haters — why we started this platform,” the message reads. “We believe privacy is paramount and free speech essential, especially on social media. Our aim has always been to provide a nonpartisan public square where individuals can enjoy and exercise their rights to both. We will resolve any challenge before us and plan to welcome all of you back soon. We will not let civil discourse perish!”
And:
Parler, however, was deplatformed in the first place explicitly because the content it allowed to flourish was anything but “civil,” and as multiple reports have made clear, the service backend was designed with basically no thought given to privacy. Meanwhile, the path Parler appears to be taking to rejoin the Internet is a shady one paved for it by other explicitly extremist, white nationalist platforms that lost access to more mainstream services after being tied to terrorism.
And there’s the fact that getting a service online that allegedly millions of people used minus the resources of a company like Amazon Web Services is going to be a sketchy proposition at best. Personally, I can’t see it happening. And if it does happen, it will likely be a very unstable platform to be on. But I guess we will see what happens.
