Docker Registry   is an application that manages storing and delivering Docker container images. Registries centralize container images and reduce build times for developers. Docker images guarantee the same runtime environment through virtualization, but building an image can involve a significant time investment. For example, rather than installing dependencies and packages separately to use Docker, developers can download a compressed image from a registry that contains all of the necessary components. Furthermore, developers can automate pushing images to a registry using continuous integration tools, such as   TravisCI , to seamlessly update images during production and development. Docker also has a free public registry,   Docker Hub , that can host your custom Docker images, but there are situations where you will not want your image to be publicly available. Images typically contain all the code necessary to run an application, so using a private registry is pref...

Security posture , which is the aggregate security status of all assets in your organization, has an inverse relationship with cybersecurity risk. If you strengthen your security posture, you reduce overall risk. Sounds great in theory, but aren’t all infosec teams trying to reduce risk via a stronger security posture? What is the practical starting point for getting this done? 1. Inventory and Categorize All Assets Since security posture requires us to identify the overall security of all assets in our network, the first step is to identify those assets. Below is a screenshot from the Balbix dashboard for an organization that has just over 50,000* assets. The system automatically discovered and categorized these assets, and will continue to modify the inventory as it changes. 2. Identify the Biggest Risk Drivers Now that we have identified all assets, let’s look at an alternative view of this chart – a heatmap that describes risk likelihood and impact of a breach by asset type. As th...

What is AWS Storage Gateway? AWS Storage Gateway is a hybrid cloud storage service that gives you on-premises access to virtually unlimited cloud storage. Storage Gateway provides a standard set of storage protocols such as iSCSI, SMB, and NFS, which allow you to use AWS storage without rewriting your existing applications. I t provides low-latency performance by caching frequently accessed data on premises, while storing data securely and durably in Amazon cloud storage services. Storage Gateway optimizes data transfer to AWS by sending only changed data and compressing data. Storage Gateway also integrates natively with Amazon S3 cloud storage which makes your data available for in cloud processing, AWS Identity and Access Management (AWS IAM) for securing access management to services and resources, AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) for encrypting data at rest in cloud, Amazon CloudWatch for monitoring, and AWS CloudTrail for logging account activity. Q: Why should I use AWS St...

ExpressRoute is an Azure service that lets you create private connections between Microsoft datacenters and infrastructure that's on your premises or in a colocation facility. ExpressRoute connections do not go over the public Internet, and offer higher security, reliability, and speeds with lower latencies than typical connections over the Internet.  ExpressRoute connections do not go over the public Internet. They offer higher security, reliability, and speeds, with lower and consistent latencies than typical connections over the Internet. In some cases, using ExpressRoute connections to transfer data between on-premises devices and Azure can yield significant cost benefits. How can I use ExpressRoute to connect to Microsoft if I don't have partnerships with one of the ExpressRoute-carrier partners? You can select a regional carrier and land Ethernet connections to one of the supported exchange provider locations. You can then peer with Microsoft at the provider location. Che...

Cloud native infrastructure and service providers are enabling organizations to build and deliver modern systems faster than ever. The end-to-end toolchain supporting the systems includes managed services to create cloud infrastructure, store source code, build containers, and manage clusters. For information security professionals, the attack surface created by these modern systems can be difficult to defend and monitor. SEC584 explores Docker and Kubernetes, key components of the cloud native infrastructure stack, providing in-depth analysis of the attack surface, misconfigurations, attack patterns, and hardening steps. Students will gain hands-on experience building, exploring, and securing real-world modern systems. SEC584 starts by painting a portrait of the modern cloud-native infrastructure hosted in Google Cloud. After deploying cloud resources, students examine methods of compromise, walk through attack scenarios, and then shift their focus to defending and remediating infras...
