Cloud native security is the development trend of cloud security in the coming years. On the one hand, inherent security of cloud native is worthy of in-depth study. On the other hand, with the reconstruction and upgrade of infrastructure, there is a clear trend towards the integration of cloud native technologies and information infrastructure. 5G, edge […]
Serverless is a new computing mode of the cloud native architecture, mainly taking the form of function as a service (FaaS). For the serverless mode, developers will write a function and define when and how to invoke it and then the function will run in the server provided by the cloud provider. All developers need […]
Cloud native applications, based on the microservice architecture, interact with each other by sending requests or response through APIs. Arguably, API communications play an essential role in interactions of cloud native applications. Therefore, API security is an indispensable part of cloud native application security. API-related security issues shown below have a direct impact on security […]
Overview Recently, researchers from JFrog and Forescout released a joint report to publicly disclose 14 security vulnerabilities (collectively referred to as INFRA:HALT) in the NicheStack TCP/IP stack, announcing that these vulnerabilities could lead to remote code execution, denial of service, information disclosure, TCP spoofing, or DNS cache poisoning. Researchers noted that attackers that successfully exploited […]
Traditional networks or virtual networks have employed network segregation technologies like VLAN or VPC which are, however, more often used for segregation of deterministic networks or tenant networks. In cloud native environments, containers or microservices have a shorter lifecycle and change more frequently compared with traditional networks or tenant networks. Complex business access relationships are […]
Overview In May, Qualys publicly disclosed 21 security vulnerabilities in the Exim server, announcing that these vulnerabilities affected all Exim versions released after 2004 and most of them can be exploited in default configurations. Recently, NSFOCUS found that certain vulnerability details and PoCs were publicly available. Among the vulnerabilities, the most severe one is the […]
Overview According to NSFOCUS CERT’s monitoring, Microsoft released August 2021 Security Updates on August 11 to fix 46 vulnerabilities, including high-risk remote code execution and privilege escalation, in widely used products like Windows, Microsoft Office, ASP.NET Core, Visual Studio, and Azure. This month’s security updates fix seven critical vulnerabilities and 39 important ones, including three […]
In the cloud native era, containerized infrastructure makes possible much more lightweight applications that run faster. Dozens or even hundreds of containers can be rapidly deployed and run on a host. What’s more, Kubernetes and other container orchestration platforms provide excellent security management mechanisms like load balancing, task scheduling, and fault tolerance. Therefore, in a […]
We are very excited to announce that NSFOCUS has been appraised at Maturity Level 5 of the CMMI Institute’s Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)® Version 2.0. CMMI is a proven set of global best practices that drives business performance through building and benchmarking key capabilities. It is an integrated framework of best practices that can rapidly […]
SASE (Security Access Services Edge, pronounced sassy /ˈsæsi/) is a network security service architecture introduced by Gartner in 2019. Gartner defines it as “an emerging offering combining comprehensive WAN capabilities with comprehensive network security functions (such as SWG, CASB, FWaaS, and ZTNA) to support the dynamic security access needs of digital enterprises.” In the diagram below, […]
