CI/CD

One of the advantages of automated CI/CD pipelines is that they’re a great place to implement regular security controls and checks. Using GitHub Actions, it’s easy to improve the security of your containers by automating vulnerability scanning and digital signing of container images on a regular basis. In this post, …

In my previous post, I covered how you can secure your CI/CD pipeline with Tracee from potentially malicious code executions. We’re now releasing Tracee GitHub Action, which makes using Tracee a plug-n-play experience and doesn’t require any prior knowledge of eBPF or Docker. We’re also introducing a new capability to …

When it comes to containerized workloads, resolving the underlying image's security vulnerabilities is paramount to ensuring the safety of your environment. Getting security risk information into the hands of developers quickly and efficiently is key to keeping development cycles as short as possible while maintaining …

With the growing popularity of CI platforms to build software, bad actors are increasingly looking to exploit these environments to target organizations. In our post about the recent Codecov breach, we explored how an attacker was able to get access to credentials from within the CI/CD pipeline. To prevent this from …

Aqua’s Team Nautilus detected an impressive campaign that set out to hijack resources to enable cryptocurrency mining. This operation focused on several SaaS software development environments, including Docker Hub, GitHub, Travis CI, and Circle CI, by abusing their automated build processes.

With the continual leftward shifting movement of traditional DevOps responsibilities, organizations can now detect security issues earlier in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Using CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GoCD, or Bamboo, organizations can continually develop, test, and ship applications. As containers …

There are major shifts happening around container technology. We have seen ongoing improvements in automation tooling and changes as fully containerized workloads move into production. Companies are often running more than one production Kubernetes cluster at a time.  DevOps and operations teams, subsequently, have an …

There are many benefits to implementing CI/CD platforms, such as enabling fast and frequent release cycles of software and applications, but with great speed comes great responsibility. It is crucial to add security controls around container image creation and deployment to ensure that your applications are properly …

Gartner recently released a Technical Professional Advice report titled Container Security -- From Image Analysis to Network Segmentation, Options Are Maturing* (by Joerg Fritsch and Michael Isbitski, 28 August 2018), with a detailed analysis of the space, including open source tools and commercial solutions.

We're …

A few weeks ago we released Aqua MicroScanner, a free vulnerability scanner that you can embed into the dockerfile and automate scanning during image build.
