OpenShift confidential containers (CoCo) is now generally available for Microsoft Azure. You can extend the security capabilities of Red Hat OpenShift by using OpenShift confidential containers, which allows you to deploy and manage confidential workloads with enhanced data protection and integrity. This release marks a significant milestone, providing a robust solution for enterprises seeking to protect sensitive applications and data on Azure. It addresses critical security concerns by isolating workloads within a hardware-protected trusted execution environment, helping ensure that data re

Red Hat OpenShift sandboxed containers 1.10 has been released, bringing enhanced security and isolation capabilities to your Red Hat OpenShift environments. This marks the general availability of confidential containers on Microsoft Azure, and introduces the new Red Hat build of Trustee, which provides attestation services so your confidential workloads can run with integrity in the cloud. OpenShift sandboxed containers delivers a lightweight and powerful way to run workloads in isolation. Confidential containers add an additional layer for hardware-protected environments, leveraging Trusted E

In enterprise Kubernetes environments, security risks often arise from overlapping administrative access. Platform engineers, infrastructure operators and developers may all touch sensitive resources, like secrets. This creates opportunities for privilege misuse or data exposure. By separating admin duties using Confidential Containers, organizations can prevent insider threads, simplify compliance, and align with zero-trust principles.Kubernetes role-based access control (RBAC) enforces access policies by defining roles and permissions for users, groups, and service accounts. It allows you to

When you subscribe to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), you get security fixes for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE). As defined in the RHEL Life Cycle Policy, we classify any issue rated with a Common Vulnerability Scoring System score of 7.0 or higher as Critical, Important or Moderate. Our enhanced support plans (RHEL Extended Life Cycle Support, Extended Update Support, and Enhanced Extended Update Support) include similar coverage. But compliance in finance, healthcare, telecommunications, the public sector and other highly regulated industries may demand fixes and patches outsid

I added support for ALT Linux OVAL content in Linux Patch Wednesday. Now I track when specific CVEs were fixed in ALT Linux packages and take that into account when generating the monthly bulletins. The more data sources on patched vulnerabilities in Linux distributions are used, the more accurate the bulletins become. 👍 Especially when […]

Security continues to be a top priority for organizations managing Kubernetes clusters. Red Hat has made significant strides for improved security for containers with its latest release of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security 4.8. This release focuses on simplifying management, enhancing workflows and offering visibility into the security of containerized environments.External IP visibility for improved securityRed Hat Advanced Cluster Security 4.8 introduces the general availability of a powerful new feature: The ability to visualize external IPs directly within the network graph dashboard. This

Making sure your Kubernetes environment is secure and compliant is a critical, ongoing challenge, especially for enterprise workloads in the hybrid cloud. To help you meet security requirements with greater confidence and efficiency, we’ve just rolled out key updates to Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Cloud Service. This latest release helps significantly strengthen your security posture with newly added industry-standard certifications, including ISO 27001 and PCI DSS 4.0, and deeper integration with key AWS services. These enhancements are designed to streamline compliance

The Authorino service in the Red Hat Connectivity Link is the authorization service for zero trust API security. Authorino allows the users with developer persona to add callbacks to be executed to HTTP endpoints once the authorization process is completed. It was found that an attacker with developer persona access can add a large number of those callbacks to be executed by Authorino and as the authentication policy is enforced by a single instance of the service, this leada to a Denial of Service in Authorino while processing the post-authorization callbacks.

Open source has always been paradoxical: it's software developed by passionate developers and given away for free, yet it's monetized and funded by some of the largest companies in the world. An underdog, once called "a cancer," and yet it's the single largest driver of innovation and technological progress we have ever seen. In the world of open source, paradox will always exist, but nowhere more so than in the understanding of security vulnerabilities.Twenty-five years ago, the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program was established to standardize the naming and tracking of softw

Red Hat is built on open source, a global decentralized and transparent community of international engineers who put security at the forefront of technology. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is the trusted operating system (OS) used by more than 90% of Fortune 500 companies and customers in more than 174 countries. This trust is earned largely due to RHEL's reliability and stability as well as Red Hat's long history of actively contributing to open source projects. There is one key factor that is often discounted with respect to the Linux OS, however, which is its reputation for having enhanced
