Kubernetes has become the backbone of modern cloud native applications, and as adoption grows, organizations increasingly seek to consolidate workloads and resources by running multiple tenants within the same Kubernetes infrastructure. These tenants could be internal teams, or departments within a company that share a Kubernetes cluster for development and production. Alternatively, they could be external clients, which are SaaS providers hosting customer workloads on shared infrastructure. While multitenancy offers cost efficiency and centralized management, it also introduces security and operational challenges. The three considerations users must take into account include: How do you ensure strong isolation between tenants? How…

Bitsight launched Bitsight Identity Intelligence, a new, standalone threat intelligence module designed to help security teams detect compromised credentials, prevent unauthorized access, and proactively mitigate risk across their extended attack surface. Approximately 77% of web application breaches involved stolen credentials1, making compromised credentials a top attack vector for cybercriminals. Compromised credentials can also enable account takeovers, ransomware deployment, and data theft. Yet, organizations struggle to prioritize and act on critical threats due to overwhelming, disconnected data sources. Bitsight Identity Intelligence changes that—providing real-time, actionable intelligence by continuously monitoring credentials exposed across the clear, deep, and dark web while instantly mapping affected…
Ray Felch // Introduction Recently, I came across an interesting article on using software-defined radio (SDR) to create a Police, Fire, EMS, and Public Safety systems scanner. Viewing a few of these Trunk tracking scanners on Amazon, I quickly discovered that they are not cheap at all. You can spend several hundred dollars on a Trunked Radio tracking scanner; however, we can build one with just two $25 SDR USB dongles. How Trunking systems work Trunking systems carry an exceptionally large volume of analog and digital radio traffic and are a frequency hopping system. Trunk systems are controlled by computers and broadcast information to all the radios on the network by way of a control channel. In the following…
