For the last few years, the CNCF (part of the Linux Foundation) has hosted the Cloud Native Security Conference, a gathering focused on the unique security challenges posed by modern computing infrastructure. This year’s agenda is sure to impress with the strongest content lineup yet, including NINE talks on
With details emerging about the recent string of breaches across Snowflake customers, the importance of robust security measures for data and infrastructure access has never been clearer. These incidents have starkly highlighted a critical gap in our security practices: while multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a baseline standard for user authentication,
Learn about what to consider when you construct your SPIFFE IDs. Making sure that your workloads have unique, consistent SPIFFE IDs will ensure that you are in alignment with your authorization needs and are future-proofed against breaking changes.
SPIRL is a full workload identity solution based on SPIFFE (Secure Production Identity Framework for Everyone). What does this mean? What is SPIFFE and isn’t it already for everyone? Or if not, how could “everyone” include more “everyone”?
Existing identity solutions don’t work in the context of modern computing infrastructure. Specifically, they solve human-centric problems well, but fall over when it comes to problems that are dynamic and systems-centric. To address this, we must turn to a new concept: workload identity.
