Top Four Risks When Using Serverless Function in Cloud Native Applications
September 10, 2021
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 […]
API Security in Cloud Native Applications
September 7, 2021
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 […]
Zero-Trust Cloud Native Network Security Enabled by Micro-segmentation
August 31, 2021
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 […]
Security Visibility Augmented by Cloud Native
August 25, 2021
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 […]
What is Cloud Native Security
August 5, 2021
After nearly 20 years of cloud computing development, we have stepped into the cloud native era. Cloud native technologies, exemplified by container, service mesh, and micro-service, are bringing disruptive changes to IT infrastructure, platforms, and application systems deployed for various sectors and are also permeating industrial Internet platforms with IT/OT convergence, 5G infrastructure with IT/CT […]
