Startups vs Enterprises: Why Smaller Cloud Footprints Are...
Smaller cloud footprints feel safer, but startups often face a higher per-workload security incident rate than enterprises. Here's why size is the wrong safety proxy.
Sidecar Proxies and the Expanding Attack Surface of Servi...
Sidecar proxies like Envoy quietly double your cluster's attack surface. Real CVEs from 2023–2024 show how mesh sidecars get exploited — and how to actually secure them.
Runtime Detection vs Static Scanning: Closing the Cloud-t...
Static scanners miss what only shows up at runtime. See why the cloud-to-code visibility gap causes months-long breach dwell times, and how to close it.
The Cost Multiplier Effect of Fixing Vulnerabilities in P...
A misconfigured base image caught at build time costs minutes to fix. Found in production, the same CVE triggers incident response and audits.
Multi-Cloud Complexity as a Hidden Security Tax on Engine...
Multi-cloud isn't a strategy most teams chose — it's an accumulation. Here's where the hidden security tax of running AWS, Azure, and GCP together actually gets paid, and how to stop paying it.
Why Container Registries Are an Underexamined Supply Chai...
Registries decide what code actually runs in production, yet most security programs treat them as passive storage. Here's why that's a costly blind spot.
Go and Docker: Building Secure Container Images
Go and Docker pair well because Go compiles to a static binary that fits in a tiny, near-empty image. This guide shows how to build that image securely.
Sigstore Cosign Keyless Signing Explained for Teams
Keyless signing swaps long-lived private keys for ten-minute certificates tied to an OIDC identity. How Fulcio and Rekor work, and how to roll it out without breaking deploys.
Top container security tools to evaluate
Comparing Safeguard and Mend.io on the dimensions that actually matter for container security: scanning engine transparency, air-gapped support, registry coverage, and product origin.
How to Run a Container Security Assessment
A container security assessment reviews your images, registries, orchestration, and runtime against known weaknesses so you can fix them before an attacker finds them.
How to Evaluate a Docker Security Company
Picking a Docker security company means judging vendors on the whole container lifecycle — image scanning, runtime, registry, and admission — not just the count of CVEs their scanner prints. Here is a buyer's checklist.
Kubernetes securityContext Capabilities: Drop ALL, Add Only What You Need
Linux capabilities are the privileges inside a container that attackers reuse after a breakout. Setting Kubernetes securityContext capabilities to drop ALL is the cheapest hardening you will do.
