Mission possible

Webinar There’s nothing like reading a report based on real world data to give IT teams an fresh sense of priority.

Sysdig’s 2023 Cloud-Native Security and Usage Report is based on just that: real-world, real-time data. And it found that 87 percent of container images have high or critical vulnerabilities, and 90 percent of permissions are unused. Unquestionably, 87 percent is a high order challenge and is an impossible task to fix in its entirety.

So what do you do? Focussing on the vulnerabilities that matter most is a good starting place. Prioritising the unpatched vulnerabilities that create in-use risk exposure, trimming excess permissions and identifying and fixing misconfigurations are all firm steps on the way to finding secure solutions.

Our latest Regcast – “Manage your cloud-native security” on 26 April 11am BST/6am EDT/3am PDT – will tell you more. In it you’ll hear the Register’s Tim Phillips and Sysdig’s Chris Kranz dig into the frightening statistics on cloud and container security. They’ll also advise on the right tools to make this a manageable situation, reduce exposure to vulnerabilities and build effective DevSecOps capabilities in a security culture which encourages best practice.
