CIS (Center for Internet Security) compliance scanning is a standard in Kubernetes (K8s) security and is widely adopted across the industry with implementations in several security scanners. Kube-bench, an open source project developed by Aqua Security was one of the first projects to provide Kubernetes CIS compliance …
Over the past few months Aqua Trivy, the all-in-one cloud native security scanner, has rapidly grown in features and tapped into new use cases. In this blog post, we will explore
Security practitioners often need to investigate malicious artifacts in their environments, which can be challenging if those are deleted or loaded from memory. This is increasingly the case as threat actors are weaponizing Linux kernel modules to perform and hide their attacks. In this blog, we look into kernel …
The Center for Internet Security (CIS) has recently released the Software Supply Chain Security Guide, a set of practical, community-developed best practices for securing software delivery pipelines. As an initiator and one of the main contributors to this comprehensive and much-needed guidance, we at Aqua aim to help …
Last month at KubeCon Europe, we released new Kubernetes security scanning for Trivy. It allows you to scan running Kubernetes clusters and resources for misconfigurations directly through the Trivy CLI or by installing the Trivy Kubernetes Operator in a cluster. In this blog, we’ll demonstrate how to use Trivy to …
Over the past few years, the Aqua Trivy scanner has become a must-have tool in many developers’ toolkits, enabling them to easily shift left and secure artifacts before production. With a tremendous community of over 100,000 users and contributors from leading tech companies, Trivy is the most popular open source …
When running third-party applications in your cloud environments, you inherently put your workloads at greater risk. This is especially the case when the third-party software exposes some API function to the public web. Apache Struts 2 is a popular open source cross-platform web application framework, used by many …
The rise in software supply chain attacks presents a profound challenge to the cornerstone of DevOps practices: the heavy use and reuse of open source software (OSS). Aqua Security extends visibility into risks across the software stack – and helps teams maintain a clear view into their software bills of materials …
A core part of shifting security left is to check your artifacts and their dependencies for vulnerabilities as early in the dev lifecycle as possible. Whether you’re building your own container images or using third-party images, the Trivy Docker Desktop integration allows you to easily scan any container image …
For the past few years, cybercriminals have been hijacking popular npm packages by taking over maintainers’ accounts. As part of our research at Team Nautilus, we discovered two flaws in the npm platform related to two-factor authentication (2FA). An attacker can use these flaws to target npm packages for account …
When developing new software, a key element of improving security is providing security feedback as early and seamlessly as possible. One way to do this is embed security tools directly into the development environment. Recently, Aqua’s open source scanner Trivy has added this functionality, integrating with popular …
