Lately Containers, Cloud Native Apps, Kubernetes have become part of organisations IT strategies. There have been numerous acquisitions from major software editors to embed containers in their portfolio such as Mirantis buying Docker Enterprise, SUSE buying Rancher and VMware improving their offer and acquiring Pivotal.
At the same time, we’re seeing a rapid increase in cyberattacks and they’re getting more and more sophisticated. As organisations are adopting containers, there needs to be adequate solutions to manage security of those containers and of their orchestrator, like Kubernetes.

You’ve probably heard about new patches and new vulnerabilities found in Windows. You know it’s important but not necessarily why.
All applications run through the OS and can potentially see everything the OS has access to. So, attackers are ready to use OS vulnerabilities against you.
In this article, I’ll explain a few OS vulnerabilities and how to keep your devices secure with Workspace One Intelligence.
Vulnerabilities
A vulnerability is a security term to describe a potential weak point in a security system. All systems have vulnerabilities whether it is hardware, OS or other software. Some vulnerabilities are public. Some are…
In this article, we will explain why data are precious and compare a cyberattack to a hotel so anyone can fully understand the disastrous impact of a cyberattack for a business.
Why are data precious?
Well, we live in a digital world. We do a lot of things online, especially these days with Covid-19, like online banking, shopping, social media, medical consultation, taxes and more. So there are critical and sensitive information about your health, your finance or what you like, transiting on the internet and being saved somewhere by the government and corporations. Some companies only save the information they need. While other…
One thing in the tech industry, we will remember about 2020 is the amount of cyberattacks that took place. Everyone was impacted whether it was finance, healthcare or tech companies themselves. Two of the biggest cybersecurity companies worldwide, FireEye and SolarWinds, had their supply chains hacked.
Maybe you were just like me, you were not really acquainted with cybersecurity. Your company or your customers started taking a real interest and incorporating cybersecurity into IT strategy. Just like me, you heard words like SOC and had no clue what they meant. …
Since the beginning of this sanitary crisis, there’s been an alarming increase of cybersecurity attacks. According to one INTERPOL report, the main cybercrimes are online scams and phishing, ransomware and DDOS, data harvesting malware, malicious domains and misinformation (spreading fake news). Being a victim of an attack can damage a brand image and cause a great loss in revenue. However, it can also be a life threatening issue when hospitals are the targets. On the night of 11th of September, the clinic of Düsseldorf University was victim of a ransomware which resulted in the death of a woman whose surgery…

There are challenges once you decide to run your application in containers.
Companies like Netflix provision as much as 3 million containers per week. There is no way on earth they’re doing it manually. Let’s remember containers are great for business because it provides agility and speed in deployment of applications. There needs to be an orchestrator to provision all these containers fast. There are multiple orchestrators (AWS EC2, Docker Swarm, etc.) but the most adopted one is Kubernetes.
In this article, I cover Kubernetes fundamentals. …

When I joined VMware in July 2018, people started telling me about a solution we had for containers and how difficult it was to understand. I told myself: if it’s hard then I’m not interested and what the hell is a container anyway!
Fast forward two years later, I figured out what it is. In this article, I explain in a simple way what are microservices and containers and their business benefits.
What’s wrong with a virtual machine?
Nothing is wrong with virtual machines. It depends on what you’re trying to implement.
Let’s say you launch a cooking application. On…
