Tags Share this article 9/8/22 Published As cloud adoption and digital transformation increases, more sensitive data from applications is being stored in data containers. This is why effective container security controls to securely manage application connectivity is an absolute must. AlgoSec CTO and Co-Founder, Prof. Avishai Wool provides some useful container security best practices to help you do just that. What is Container Security? Organizations, now more than ever, are adopting container technology. Instead of powering up servers and instances in the cloud, they are using containers to run business applications. Securing these is equally as important as securing other digital assets that the business is dependent on. There are two main pillars to think about: The code: you want to be able to scan the containers and make sure that they are running legitimate code without any vulnerabilities. The network: you need to control access to and from the container (what it can connect to), both inside the same cluster, other clusters, and different parts of the network. How critical is container security to managing application connectivity risks? To understand the role of container security within the overall view of network security, there are three points to consider. First, if you’re only concerned about securing the containers themselves, then you’re looking at nano-segmentation , which involves very granular controls inside the applications. Second, if you’re thinking about a slightly wider scope then you may be more concerned with microsegmentation , where you are segmenting between clusters or between servers in a single environment. Here you will want to enforce security controls that determine the allowable communication between specific endpoints at specific levels. Finally, if the communication needs to go further, from a container inside one cluster within one cloud environment to an asset that’s outside of the data center, then that might need to go through broader segmentation controls such as zoning technologies, security groups or a firewall at the border. So, there are all these layers where you can place network security policies. When you’re looking at a particular connectivity request (say for a new version of an application) from the point of view of a given container you should ask yourself: what is the container connected to? What is it communicating with? Where are those other sides of the connectivity placed? Based on that determination, you will then know which security controls you need to configure to allow that connectivity through the network. How does containerization correlate with application centric security policy management? There are a number of different aspects to the relationship between container security and application security. If an application uses containers to power up workloads then container security is very much an integral part of application security. When you’re adding new functionality to an application, powering up additional containers, asking containers to perform new tasks whereby they need to connect to additional assets, then the connectivity of those containers needs to be secured. And security controls need to be regulated or changed based on what the application needs them to do. Another factor in this relationship is the structure of the application. All the containers that run and support the application are often located in one cluster or a micro-segment of the network. So, much of the communication takes place inside that cluster, between one container or another, all in the same cluster. However, some of it can go to another cluster or somewhere that’s not even containerized. This is actually a good thing from an application point of view as the container structure can be used to understand the application structure as well. Not sure about container orchestration? Here’s what to know Container orchestration is part of a bigger orchestration play which is, in general, related to the concept of infrastructure as code. You want to be able to power up an environment with all the assets it requires, and have it function simultaneously so you can duplicate it. There are various orchestration technologies that can be used to deploy the security policies for containers , which is an excellent way to maintain container-based applications in a consistent and repeatable manner. Then if you need to double it or multiply it by 100, you can get cookie-cutter copies of the same thing. How will container security solutions play out in the future? Organizations today have the technology to enforce security controls at the container level, but these controls are very granular and it’s time-consuming to set policies and enforce them, particularly with issues like staff or skills shortages. Looking ahead, companies are likely to take a hierarchical view where container-based security is controlled at the application level by app owners or developers, and at the broader levels to ensure that the measures deployed throughout the network have the same degree of sophistication. Procedures and tooling are all evolving, so we don’t have a definitive answer as to how this will all end up. What are organizations going to be doing? Where will they place their controls? Who has the power to make the changes? When newer technologies are deployed, customer adoption will be crucial to understanding what makes the most sense. This will be interesting as there will be multiple scenarios to help companies master their security blueprint as we move forward.

Tags Share this article 11/24/22 Published Multi-cloud environments create complex IT architectures that are hard to secure. Although cloud computing creates numerous advantages for companies, it also increases the risk of data breaches. Did you know that you can mitigate these risks with a CSPM? Rony Moshkovitch, Prevasio’s co-founder, discusses why modern organizations need to opt for a CSPM solution when migrating to the cloud and also offers three powerful tips to finding and implementing the right one. Cloud Security Can Get Messy if You Let it A cloud-based IT infrastructure can lower your IT costs, boost your agility, flexibility, and scalability, and enhance business resilience. These great advantages notwithstanding, the cloud also has one serious drawback: it is not easy to secure. When you move from an on-premise infrastructure to the cloud, the size of your digital footprint expands. This can attract hackers on the prowl who are looking for the first opportunity to compromise your assets or steal your data. Cloud security solutions include multiple elements that must be managed and protected, such as microservices, containers, and serverless functions. These elements increase cloud complexity, reduce visibility into the cloud estate, and make it harder to secure. For all these reasons, security issues arise in the cloud, increasing the risk of breaches that may result in financial losses, legal liabilities, or reputational damage. To protect the complex and fluid cloud environment, sophisticated automation is essential. Enter cloud security posture management. How to Identify and Implement the Right CSPM Solution 1) It must offer a flat learning curve to accelerate time to value: The CSPM solution can be easy to implement, adopt, and use. It should not burden your security team. Rather, it should simplify cloud security by providing non-intrusive, agentless scans of all cloud accounts, services, and assets. It should also provide actionable information in a single-pane-of-glass view that clearly reveals what needs to be remediated in order to strengthen your cloud security posture. In addition, the solution should generate reports that are easy to understand and share. 2) It must support non-intrusive, agentless, static and dynamic analyses: Some CSPM solutions only support static scans, leaving dynamic scans to other intrusive solutions. The problem with the latter is that they require agents to be deployed, managed, and updated for every scan, increasing the organization’s technical debt and forcing security teams to spend expensive (and scarce) resources on solution management. The best way to minimize the debt and the management burden on security teams is to choose a CSPM that can scan for threats in an agentless manner. It should also perform agentless dynamic analyses on all container applications and images that can reveal valuable information about exposed network ports and other risks. 3) It must be reasonably priced: CSPM is important but it shouldn’t burn a hole in your pocket. The solution should fit your security budget and match your organization’s size, cloud environment complexity, and cloud asset usage. Also, look for a vendor that provides a transparent license model and dynamic security features instead of just dynamic, expensive billing (that could reduce your ability to control your cloud costs). Conclusion and next steps The global CSPM market is set to double from $4.2 billion in 2022 to $8.6 billion by 2027. Already, many CSPM vendors and solutions are available. In order to select the best solution for your organization, make sure to consider the three tips discussed here. Need more tailored advice about the security needs of your enterprise cloud?

Duis mattis velit sit leo diam. Tags Share this article 6/17/25 Published Convergence has been claimed. Security orgs merged their teams, aligned their titles, and drew the new boxes on the whiteboard. The result: security teams are now responsible for both cloud and on-premises network environments. But for many of those teams, compliance is still running on fumes. The reporting lines changed. The responsibilities increased. The oversight? Still patchy. The systems? Still fragmented. And the ability to demonstrate consistent policy enforcement across hybrid environments—where compliance lives or dies—has never been more at risk. This isn’t an edge case. It’s structural. And it’s quietly putting every converged team in a bind. The illusion of control If convergence was supposed to simplify compliance, most teams missed the memo. Cloud-native controls don’t sync with on-prem rule sets. Application deployments move faster than the audits tracking them. Policies drift. Risk assessments stall out. And when the next audit comes knocking, security teams are left reconciling evidence after the fact—manually stitching together logs, policies, and screenshots across tools that don’t talk to each other. The result? Ownership without visibility. Policy without context. Responsibility without control. Compliance at the application layer—or nowhere Security and compliance are often treated as parallel tracks. But in hybrid environments, they’re the same problem. The more distributed your network, the more fragmented your enforcement—and the harder it becomes to map controls to real business risk. What matters isn’t whether a port is open. It’s whether the application behind it should be reachable from that region, that VPC, or that user. That requires context. And today, context lives at the application layer. This is where AlgoSec Horizon changes the equation. AlgoSec Horizon is the first platform built to secure application connectivity across hybrid networks—with compliance embedded by design. Horizon: compliance that knows what it’s looking at With Horizon, compliance isn’t an add-on. It’s the outcome of deep visibility and policy awareness at the level that actually matters: the business application. Our customers are using Horizon to: Automatically discover and map every business application—including shadow IT and unapproved flows Simulate rule changes in advance, avoiding deployment errors that compromise compliance Track and enforce policies in context, with real-time validation against compliance frameworks Generate audit-ready reports across hybrid networks without assembling data by hand It’s compliance without the swivel chair. And it’s already helping converged teams move faster—without giving up control. Compliance can’t be an after-thought. Security convergence wasn’t the mistake. Stopping at structure was. When compliance is left behind, the risk isn’t just audit failure—it’s operational drag. Policy friction. Delays in application delivery. Missed SLAs. Because the real impact of compliance gaps isn’t found in the SOC—it’s found in the business outcomes that stall because security couldn’t keep pace. Horizon closes that gap. Because in a world of converged teams and hybrid environments, security has to operate with complete visibility—and compliance has to work at the speed of the application.

The report identifies a decisive shift in how organizations are responding to network evolution and hybrid architecture sprawl, with the focus shifting back towards consolidation; defined by unification, automation and control as businesses look to manage visibility of risk and resilience posture. Based on comparative year-on-year findings, AlgoSec’s research includes over 500 responses from security, network and cloud professionals across 28 countries and evaluates market leaders including AWS, Cisco, Microsoft Azure, GCP, Check Point, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet and more. Key findings from the report include: AI-powered threats and defences go mainstream – Artificial intelligence has become both the newest threat vector and the next frontier of defence. For the first time, AlgoSec’s research asked how organizations are adjusting to the rise of AI-powered attacks. The majority (65%) have already adapted their strategies, with 23.6% making major structural changes and 40.9% implementing moderate adjustments. Cloud firewall strategies prioritize consolidation - The move toward cloud-based firewalls continues, but with a change in tone. Nearly a quarter (24%) of respondents plan to move primarily to cloud firewalls over the next two years, confirming that cloud-native controls are no longer a consideration, but a baseline expectation. Security becomes the deciding factor in cloud platform selection – The rise of AI-driven workloads, compliance requirements and cross-platform orchestration has made security the critical benchmark for platform selection, with 54.7% of organizations stating that security capabilities carry the most weight when selecting a cloud platform. SD-WAN further cements its role – As organizations expand their hybrid environments and distributed workforces, the demand for secure, high-performance connectivity has solidified SD-WAN’s role. Fortinet (31%) has become the most widely used SD-WAN solution while Cisco (30.7%) remains a close second. SASE moves from exploration to standardization – For the third year running, the share of organizations without a SASE solution has declined, down to 27.5% from 40% in 2024. This consistent decrease signals that SASE adoption is no longer exploratory, but a planned progression for most enterprises. “Compared to last year, we are now seeing a transition from experimentation to optimization,” said Eran Shiff, Chief Product Officer at AlgoSec. “After several years of rapid expansion across multi-cloud environments, AI-powered operations and hybrid architectures, organizations are entering a new phase of consolidation and control.

Network Security 5 Best Network Vulnerability Scanning Tools in 2024 Tsippi Dach 2 min read Tsippi Dach Short bio about author here Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Vitae donec tincidunt elementum quam laoreet duis sit enim. Duis mattis velit sit leo diam. Tags Share this article 2/11/24 Published Network vulnerability scanning provides in-depth insight into your organization’s security posture and highlights the specific types of vulnerabilities attackers may exploit when targeting it. These tools work by systematically scanning your network environment — including all desktops, laptops, mobile endpoints, servers, and other assets for known weaknesses and misconfigurations. Your analyzer then produces a detailed report that tells you exactly how hackers might breach your systems. Find out how these important tools contribute to successfully managing your security policies and protecting sensitive assets from cybercriminals and malware. What is Network Vulnerability Management? Network vulnerability scanners are cybersecurity solutions typically delivered under a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. These solutions match your network asset configurations with a comprehensive list of known misconfigurations and security threats, including unpatched software, open ports, and other security issues. By comparing system details against a comprehensive database of known vulnerabilities, network scanning helps pinpoint areas of weakness that could potentially be exploited by threat actors. This proactive approach is essential for maintaining robust network security and protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access and cyberattacks. This provides your organization with several valuable benefits: Early detection of known security vulnerabilities. If your organization is exposed to security threats that leverage known vulnerabilities, you’ll want to address these security gaps as soon as possible. Comprehensive data for efficient risk management. Knowing exactly how many security vulnerabilities your organization is exposed to gives you clear data for conducting in-depth risk management . Regulatory compliance. Many regulatory compliance frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS require organizations to undergo regular vulnerability scanning. Reduced costs. Automating the process of scanning for vulnerabilities reduces the costs associated with discovering and remediating security weaknesses manually. Key Features and Functions The best network security vulnerability scanners have several important features in common: Prioritized vulnerability assessment tools. You need to be able to assess and prioritize vulnerabilities based on their severity. This allows you to commit security resources to addressing high-priority vulnerabilities first, and taking care of low-impact weaknesses afterwards. Automation and real-time analysis. Manual scanning is a difficult and time-consuming process. Your vulnerability scanner must support automated, ongoing scanning for real-time vulnerability detection, providing on-demand insights into your security risk profile. Integration with remediation tools: The best network vulnerability scanners integrate with other security tools for quick mitigation and remediation. This lets security teams quickly close security gaps and move on to the next, without having to spend time accessing and managing a separate set of security tools. How Network Vulnerability Scanning Tools Work Step 1. Scanning Process Initial network mapping is the first step in the vulnerability scanning process. At this point, your scanner maps your entire network and identifies every device and asset connected to it. This includes all web servers, workstations, firewalls , and network devices. The automatic discovery process should produce a comprehensive map showing how your network is connected, and show detailed information about each network device. It should include comprehensive port scanning to identify open ports that attackers could use to gain entry to the network. Step 2. Detection Techniques The next step in the process involves leveraging advanced detection techniques to identify known vulnerabilities in the network. Most network vulnerability scanners rely on two specific techniques to achieve this: Signature-Based Detection: The scanner checks for known vulnerabilities by comparing system details against a database of known issues. This database is drawn from extensive threat intelligence feeds and public records like the MITRE CVE Program . Heuristic Analysis: This technique relies on heuristic and behavioral techniques to identify unknown or zero-day vulnerabilities based on unusual system behavior or configurations. It may detect suspicious activities that don’t correspond to known threats, prompting further investigation. Step 3. Vulnerability Identification This step involves checking network assets for known vulnerabilities according to their unique risk profile. This includes scanning for outdated software and operating system versions, and looking for misconfigurations in network devices and settings. Most network scanners achieve this by pinging network-accessible systems, sending them TCP/UDP packets, and remotely logging into compatible systems to gather detailed information about them. Highly advanced network vulnerability scanning tools have more comprehensive sets of features for identifying these vulnerabilities, because they recognize a wider, more up-to-date range of network devices. Step 4. Assessment and Reporting This step describes the process of matching network data to known vulnerabilities and prioritizing them based on their severity. Advanced network scanning devices may use automation and sophisticated scripting to produce a list of vulnerabilities and exposed network components. First, each vulnerability is assessed for its potential impact and risk level, often based on industry-wide compliance standards like NIST. Then the tool prioritizes each vulnerability based on its severity, ease of exploitation, and potential impact on the network. Afterwards, the tool generates a detailed report outlining every vulnerability assessed and ranking it according to its severity. These reports guide the security teams in addressing the identified issues. Step 5. Continuous Monitoring and Updates Scanning for vulnerabilities once is helpful, but it won’t help you achieve the long-term goal of keeping your network protected against new and emerging threats. To do that, you need to continuously monitor your network for new weaknesses and establish workflows for resolving security issues proactively. Many advanced scanners provide real-time monitoring, constantly scanning the network for new vulnerabilities as they emerge. Regular updates to the scanner’s vulnerability database ensure it can recognize the latest known vulnerabilities and threats. If your vulnerability scanner doesn’t support these two important features, you may need to invest additional time and effort into time-consuming manual operations that achieve the same results. Step 6. Integration with Other Security Measures Security leaders must pay close attention to what happens after a vulnerability scan detects an outdated software patch or misconfiguration. Alerting security teams to the danger represented by these weaknesses is only the first step towards actually resolving them, and many scanning tools offer comprehensive integrations for launching remediation actions. Remediation integrations are valuable because they allow security teams to quickly address vulnerabilities immediately upon discovering them. The alternative is creating a list of weaknesses and having the team manually go through them, which takes time and distracts from higher-impact security tasks. Another useful integration involves large-scale security posture analytics. If your vulnerability assessment includes analysis and management tools for addressing observable patterns in your network vulnerability scans, it will be much easier to dedicate resources to the appropriate security-enhancing initiatives. Choosing a Network Vulnerability Scanning Solution There are two major categories of features that network vulnerability scanning tools must offer in order to provide best-in-class coverage against sophisticated threats. Keep these aspects in mind when reviewing your options for deploying vulnerability scans in your security workflow. Important Considerations Comprehensive Vulnerability Database. Access to an extensive CVE database is vital. Many of these are open-source and available to the general public, but the sheer number of CVE records can drag down performance. The best vulnerability management tools have highly optimized APIs capable of processing these records quickly. Customizability and Templates. Tailoring scans to specific needs and environments is important for every organization, but it takes on special significance for organizations seeking to demonstrate regulatory compliance. That’s because the outcome of compliance assessments and audits will depend on the quality of data included in your reports. False Positive Management. All vulnerability scanners are susceptible to displaying false positives, but some manage these events better than others. This is especially important in misconfiguration cases, because it can cause security teams to mistakenly misconfigure security tools that were configured correctly in the first place. Business Essentials Support for Various Platforms. Your vulnerability scan must ingest data from multiple operating systems like Windows, Linux, and a variety of cloud platforms. If any of these systems are not compatible with the scanning process, you may end up with unstable performance or unreliable data. Reporting and Analytics. Detailed reports and analytics help you establish a clear security posture assessment. Your vulnerability management tool must provide clear reports that are easy for non-technical stakeholders to understand. This will help you make the case for necessary security investments in the future. Scalability and Flexibility. These solutions must scale with the growth of your organization’s IT infrastructure . Pay attention to the usage and payment model each vulnerability scanning vendor uses. Some of them may be better suited to small, growing organizations while others are more appropriate for large enterprises and government agencies. Top 5 Network Vulnerability Scanning Providers 1.
