Tips for Patching CVE-2019-5736

The vulnerable Docker runtime container is a fundamental building block in cloud environments and data centers using Docker and Kubernetes.

The Current State of Securing Cloud Workloads and Tackling Cloud Complexity

Hybrid Cloud and Distributed Workloads Are Now the Norm

2019 Serverless Computing Predictions

As we look to the year ahead, we anticipate several evolutionary serverless trends tied to standardization, orchestration, testing, observability and security.

The state of serverless: 6 trends to watch

“Just like what we see with containers, but amplified in serverless, application observability is key for building, testing, and operating serverless-based applications.”

Hybrid Clouds Bring New Complexities—and Security Risks

Also adding to the complexity of cloud security is the fact that the number of tools used to secure cloud environments is increasing. One-third of organizations are now using more than five tools for cloud security.

The State of Cloud Workload Security

It is clear there is still an unmet need for end-to-end security solutions that can support frictionless DevOps processes and security professionals in securing cloud workloads in a way that accelerates business outcomes and enhances the organization’s competitive edge.

How to Integrate Business Security Systems

According to Alcide’s 2018 Report.. 73% are reportedly configuring security policies manually, and 75% expect to increase security tools in 2019 which has the potential to lead to even more fragmentation in cloud stacks.

Blind spots and how to see them: Observability in a serverless environment

Companies embracing DevOps and cloud to fuel digital transformation are increasingly turning to serverless computing, also known as ‘functions-as-a-service’ (FaaS), to shift resource-intensive operational duties away from developers to cloud providers.

Alcide Advances Cloud-Native Security Firewall Platform

The cyber-security startup raises new funding to build out its microservices firewall platform that looks to help solve the visibility and control challenges of the modern cloud-native application environment.

Hybrid cloud complexity pushes organizations to look for more security tools

As more organizations embrace hybrid cloud – with more than 50 percent claiming a hybrid cloud setup – and serverless, now used by close to third of organizations, they lack the tools and specialization to keep up, according to Alcide.

Most Businesses to Add More Cloud Security Tools

Cloud adoption drives organizations to spend in 2019 as they learn traditional security practices can’t keep up.

75% of organizations are buying more security tools to keep up with cloud in 2019

The New Shared Responsibility Model For Cloud Security

Workloads, specifically cloud workloads, are the application vehicle powering owned, borrowed and open-source code. There are many different types of workloads, with new options emerging over the years as the data center continues to evolve.

On The Forefront Of Israeli Cybersecurity Innovation And Investment Strategy

Alcide is a startup developing a unique security platform for modern age data centers being built on hybrid cloud architecture. It is a multi-platform, multi cloud security solution that brings simple and consolidated cloud ops. protection.

The Hybrid Cloud and Why DevOps Teams Need Unified Stack Observability

The modern data center is constantly evolving to keep up with the demands of always-on, anywhere computing. Long gone are the days of monolithic, on-premises data centers. Today, the computing modus operandi is that of the hybrid cloud.

Six Security Considerations for Serverless Environments

Beautiful Visualization: Towards a Deeper Visualization for the Data Center

While organizational solutions, such as DevSecOps, exist to improve coordination between the various teams responsible for specific elements of infrastructure management, a fundamental problem remains: visibility (or a lack thereof).

Alcide updates Cloud-Native Security Platform to include Slack integration and serverless support

Containers Break the Shared Responsibility Model Between Cloud Providers and Ops

Last month, a critical vulnerability in the basic Linux network infrastructure was discovered by Felix Wilhelm from Google’s Security Team and disclosed by Red Hat product security. Our CTO & co-founder sheds some light on this.

Secure Hybrid Cloud with Alcide

The benefits of the hybrid cloud and DevOps are both well known. But what happens when these two models intersect? Often DevOps and Security teams struggle to account for the added complexity introduced by hybrid configurations. Luckily for them, Alcide has the answers, as CEO Ranny Nachmias explains.

Serverless Security: What You Need to Know

There are clear benefits to serverless architecture, with many enterprises already making or planning to make this change. Like any paradigm shift, however, the move to serverless carries both benefits and risks. Here’s what you need to know about serverless security.

Amazon fires up its Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes

The company cited CNCF data in a press release that shows 57 percent of all Kubernetes users are already running it on AWS.

Going serverless? Prepare for a shake-up in security

Before a company can commit to a serverless infrastructure, it needs a clear outline of the technology stacks it intends to use as the foundation for further build outs,

Open source in your data center – what you should know

DevOps and Security teams should be adopting tools that mitigate the risks of open-source by providing real-time visibility over open-source operation, monitoring actual code runtime activity.

Securing the Modern Data Center – Addressing New Challenges with a New Mindset

The modern data center continues to grow in scale and complexity. It contains a growing, changing and evolving collection of applications that address the burgeoning demand for better, faster and more efficient data processing. Three major trends are shaping today’s data center..

Alcide Deliver, Demos Data Center and Cloud Operations Security Platform

The complexity of today’s business application and related IT resources has prompted the introduction of new platforms that can more easily control, manage, and secure them. Alcide is among the companies providing new solutions on this front.

Alcide launches security platform to safeguard multicloud IT environments

Essentially what Alcide’s platform does is it helps to simplify network security monitoring as it eliminates the need for multiple tools to be used to safeguard each kind of infrastructure. The platform also eliminates what Alcide terms as “blind spots” between infrastructure and the applications running on it.

Why a Firewall Can’t Protect Against a Memcache DDoS Attack
