DataStax released code for an Apache Cassandra Kubernetes operator to help enterprises and users succeed with scale-out, cloud-native data. This Kubernetes Operator for Apache Cassandra, cass-operator, is now available and ready for use by the community as we work together on a common operator.

Zettaset, a leading provider of software-defined encryption solutions, announced Zettaset XCrypt Kubernetes Encryption, a software-defined solution that protects data at-rest across any Kubernetes environment. Data protection within Kubernetes environments is a growing challenge for organizations because the location of sensitive data or whether a container has access to unauthorized data is unknown.

Kubernetes-specialist Zettaset has introduced software-defined encryption for Kubernetes-managed containers, improving DevSecOps, enhancing data protection, and enabling compliance. The fluid nature of cloud storage requires a software rather than hardware solution - and Zettaset has announced its software-defined XCrypt Kubernetes Encryption offering.

If you're looking to take your Kubernetes security to the next level, you'll want to start working with pod security policies. Here's a quick introduction to this feature.

If you're looking to take your Kubernetes security to the next level, you'll want to start working with pod security policies. The Kubernetes pod security policy is a resource that controls the security of a pod specification.

The HPE Container Platform is the industry's first enterprise-grade container platform designed to support both cloud-native and non-cloud-native applications using 100 percent open source Kubernetes - running on bare-metal or virtual machines, in the data center, on any public cloud, or at the edge. The HPE Container Platform reduces cost and complexity by running containers on bare-metal, while providing the flexibility to deploy in VMs or cloud instances.

The increasing use of containers and orchestration tools, such as Kubernetes, are driving demand for new cloud security and application deployment processes, according to research from the Cloud Security Alliance presented Monday at the RSA 2020 conference in San Francisco. "As we have seen with the use of containers and micro-services and compliance, when you further segment things off, there's a functionality benefit from that," Yeoh tells Information Security Media Group.

If you don't follow these Kubernetes deployments security best practices from Portshift, your containers, their underlying technologies, and your data could be at risk. Portshift recently released a best practices list for tackling the security issues surrounding the K8s platform.

It's time to patch your Cisco security solutions againCisco has released another batch of security updates and patches for a variety of its offerings, including many of its security solutions. Techniques and strategies to overcome Kubernetes security challengesFive security best practices for DevOps and development professionals managing Kubernetes deployments have been introduced by Portshift.

Five security best practices for DevOps and development professionals managing Kubernetes deployments have been introduced by Portshift. Integrating these security measures into the early stages of the CI/CD pipeline will assist organizations in the detection of security issues earlier, allowing security teams to remediate issues quickly.
