For years, CPU designers focused on making processors faster. Techniques like out-of-order and speculative execution became standard to keep every part of the chip busy. These tricks helped achieve huge performance gains, but they also opened the door to a new kind of vulnerability. In 2018, two major security flaws, Spectre and Meltdown, showed that

Today, we’re excited to announce the DocumentDB Kubernetes Operator, an open-source, cloud-native solution to deploy, manage, and scale DocumentDB instances on Kubernetes. DocumentDB is a MongoDB-compatible, open-source document database built on PostgreSQL. The DocumentDB Kubernetes Operator represents a natural evolution of the DocumentDB ecosystem, following our open source announcement and recent joining of the Linux

Data is always on the move. Data flows across multiple interconnected systems, creating an expanded attack surface that spans Slack messages, browser-based AI tools, cache folders, and distributed cloud workloads. Security teams have long tried to keep up. While traditional tools, such as firewalls, SIEMs, and DLPs, have evolved to address dynamic data flows, they

Most companies set up their AI document assistant the same way: give it access to the repository, then rely on it to filter results based on user permissions. When someone asks: “For the security audit, list all documents containing ‘confidential’ in the title.”

As an automation engineer and architect, I have been using IaC tools like Terraform for years. Recently, I started exploring and learning Pulumi, an Infrastructure as Code platform that lets developers and teams create, deploy, and manage cloud resources using familiar programming languages. As part of my weekend reading, I came across a new announcement

The average person juggles accounts with varying levels of security. Login fatigue may lead us to recycle passwords or trust personal information to dubious companies. There is also the ever-looming threat of data breaches, social engineering attacks, and brute force takeovers. Traditional authentication models force users to give their information to a vulnerable centralized storage.

Docker containers share the host kernel. A single misconfigured container can expose sensitive data, provide root access to the host, or compromise the entire infrastructure. This guide provides six practical labs that work on Linux, macOS, and Windows. The examples use open source tools and demonstrate both vulnerable and secure configurations. Each lab is hands-on

In the current digital age, which largely revolves around the use of the internet, privacy and security, as well as access to the whole world, are some of the main concerns for individuals and businesses. One of the most effective methods to achieve these objectives is the use of proxy servers. Proxy servers essentially change

Infrastructure security has long been about protecting networks, hosts, and cloud platforms. Application security focuses on securing APIs, data flows, and business logic to protect critical assets. Both approaches are critical, but they can’t provide complete protection on their own. When isolated from each other, there is a higher risk that attackers can exploit the

Security architecture in hybrid environments has traditionally focused on well-known concepts such as OWASP vulnerabilities, identity and access management, role-based access control, network security, and the principle of least privilege. Best practices like secure coding and incorporating SAST/DAST testing into CI/CD pipelines are also widely discussed. However, when organizations operate in a hybrid model —
