New year, new cyberattacks? 2020 was a rollercoaster of a year, but what does 2021 have in store? We asked the cloud security experts at Aqua Security and Fugue for their predictions for 2021 and it looks like it’ll be another interesting year (hopefully more interesting and less “interesting”). Here’s what they had to say about Kubernetes, …

DevOps is a set of practices that looks to combine and automate the processes between software development and operational teams during an application life cycle. Although the current DevOps mindset is certainly an improvement on the traditional method of software development where the development and operations teams were kept separate, it could still do with …

4. More maturation of tools around Kubernetes Kubernetes is itself fundamentally an automation technology. As it matures and adoption continues growing, expect to see more automation built around Kubernetes and how teams use it. “2021 will see more automation around Kubernetes, specifically around the deployment process,” says Eran Bibi, director of DevOps and cloud platform …

CISOs will embrace DevSecOps methodologies. Cloud-native security will rise higher on the agenda for CISOs as their organizations embrace Kubernetes, serverless, and other cloud-native technologies. It’s a significant cultural shift to embed security within DevOps practices, but it’s necessary: Businesses are moving to the cloud so they can deliver new features quickly and at high frequency, and …

With 2021 just around the corner, it’s time to wrap up the past year and look at what will define the cloud native industry in the year ahead. We’ve gathered key insights, predictions, and trends for you to explore. Check out the excellent Datadog’s report on real-world container use, the new AWS container security survey, …

Repeat after me: “Kubernetes is not secure by default.” Got that? Good, admitting that is the first step to Kubernetes security wisdom. But, Starboard, an open-source Kubernetes security CLI and operator from Aqua Security can help you understand what’s going on with security in your Kubernetes cluster. In a KubeCon presentation, Liz Rice, Aqua Security’s vice president of open source engineering, …

Containers are really helpful for simplifying the problem of detecting anomalies, especially if you architect your applications using a microservices model. Each container typically performs only a small function and that means the range of normal, expected behaviors is small. For example, it’s often true that you only expect to see one specific executable running …

“While DevOps processes and infrastructure-as-code have advanced the cause of a standard operating environment for servers, it is with containers, along with serverless functions, that the promise of a truly uniform operating environment can be achieved,” says Tsvi Korren, field CTO at Aqua Security. Containers, Korren notes, can be built to be standard at scale: “Not …
