Automatically Secure Your CI/CD Pipelines Using Tracee GitHub Action

In my previous post, I covered how you can secure your CI/CD pipeline with Tracee from potentially malicious code executions. We’re now releasing Tracee GitHub Action, which makes using Tracee a plug-n-play experience and doesn’t require any prior knowledge of eBPF or Docker. We’re also introducing a new capability to profile the normal behavior of …

Using LSM Hooks with Tracee to Overcome Gaps with Syscall Tracing

Tracee is an open source runtime security and forensics tool for Linux, built to address common Linux security issues. By leveraging the advantages of Linux extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) technology to trace systems and applications at runtime, Tracee analyzes collected events to detect suspicious behavioral patterns. In this blog, I’ll share the lessons we …

Blocking Attacks in Runtime with Drift Prevention

Drift prevention is the cloud native answer to malware, worms and zero-day exploits. It’s also one of the best things to happen to security since the firewall, and finally a departure from the defeatist “we can’t really stop attacks so let’s not try” approach that’s been plaguing the mindset of security professionals in recent years …

Amazon Firecracker: Isolating Serverless Containers and Functions

Infrastructure protection, sandboxed containers, MicroVM hypervisors– these are interchangeable terms describing emerging technologies to isolate micro-services from their underlying infrastructure. These isolation technologies aim to protect the underlying host that runs containers and functions against malicious escape and breakout attempts into other targets on the same host or on the shared infrastructure. They attempt to provide VM-level isolation …

Severe Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in Kubernetes (CVE-2018-1002105)

Earlier this week, a severe vulnerability in Kubernetes (CVE-2018-1002105) was disclosed that allows an unauthenticated user to perform privilege escalation and gain full admin privileges on a cluster. The CVE was given the high severity score of 9.8 (out of 10) and it affects all Kubernetes versions from 1.0 onwards, but fixes are available for recent versions.

Report by Gartner Highlights Maturing Options for Securing Containers

Gartner recently released a Technical Professional Advice report titled “Container Security — From Image Analysis to Network Segmentation, Options Are Maturing”* (by Joerg Fritsch and Michael Isbitski, 28 August 2018), with a detailed analysis of the space, including open source tools and commercial solutions. We’re pleased to see Aqua mentioned in this report, both for …

Out-of the-Box Policies Simplify Container Compliance

One of the challenges organizations have in using cloud native technologies is in figuring out how compliance requirements translate into actionable control points. Most regulations predate containers and serverless technologies and don’t have specific articles governing the use of such technologies. We recently released Aqua 3.2, where we rolled out key compliance controls pre-configured as …

Preventing Container Breakouts with Dynamic System Call Profiling

Recently, IBM researchers weighed in on container isolation, having developed an algorithm for measuring how well it works, and reached the conclusion that “a Docker container with a well crafted seccomp profile (which blocks unexpected system calls) provides roughly equivalent security to a hypervisor.“

AWS Fargate Security with Sidecars

A few months ago we launched the Aqua MicroEnforcer, the first solution for providing runtime protection to a container running in Containers-as-a-Service platforms like AWS Fargate or Azure Container Instances. The mechanism I wrote about at the time involved building a protected version of a container image being deployed, by adding the MicroEnforcer executable into …

AWS Fargate Security, and The Importance of Immutability

Back in March we announced Aqua MicroEnforcer, a new deployment technology that enabled us to secure runtime workload running on AWS Fargate and Azure Container Instances. Since then we’ve seen a lot of interest from customers who see these services not only as a way to deploy containers on demand for spillover capacity, or for …

Kubernetes Security Deep-Dive

Since the second half of 2017, Kubernetes has been gaining momentum in adoption as well as in its ecosystem support. We see more and more enterprises choosing Kubernetes for the orchestration of their cloud native deployments. This is in no small part thanks to the many enterprise-grade features added in versions 1.8 and 1.9, including …

Revisiting AWS Fargate with Aqua

A few months ago I was lucky enough to get my hands on Fargate when it was in preview in the run-up to AWS re:invent. It was immediately clear that it’s a pretty cool concept, and that it presents a new challenge for security solutions like Aqua, because of the lack of a “host” entity …
