OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten – K08: Secrets Management Failures

by

In the fast-evolving world of cloud-native applications, Kubernetes has emerged as the de facto standard for container orchestration. While its robust architecture streamlines deployment, scaling, and management of applications, Kubernetes introduces a unique set of security challenges. Among these, secrets management failures pose a significant risk, often leading to data breaches, unauthorised access, and compliance violations.
The OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten (K8s Top 10) highlights the most critical security risks in Kubernetes environments. K08: Secrets Management Failures underscores the common pitfalls software developers and software architects encounter when handling sensitive data such as API keys, credentials, and encryption keys.

Insecure Deserialisation: An Essential Guide for C-Suite

by

Insecure deserialisation refers to a scenario where an application deserialises data without validating its integrity or origin. This process, if compromised, can allow attackers to inject code, manipulate data, or trigger unintended operations within an application. For example, if an attacker injects crafted data into the deserialisation process, they could potentially gain control over the application server, extract sensitive information, or cause service disruptions.
