Using SQL, you can run queries to gain the status of your entire infrastructure. What’s cool about osquery is how easy it is to use the SQL query interface. kube-query is an open source reporting …

Using Trivy to Discover Vulnerabilities in VS Code Projects

For most of us developers, our container security protocol involves some sort of static image scan for vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, to do this usually involves jumping out of one type of software program, like a code editor, to open a completely separate tool to perform the scanning. Well, the open source team at Aqua recognized the …
