What are some good public breaches where we know Initial Access was a Kubernetes attack? Or where kube played a role in the breach?

Replying to @mattjay
Great question! SCARLETEEL is the best recent example that I know of. Actor exploited a vulnerable Kubernetes container and pivoted to the underlying cloud service account. sysdig.com/blog/cloud-breach…

A challenge I hear in software security is the tree vs the forest problem. It's one thing to work with one dev team to improve their secure dev process & have them meet a policy before pushing to prod. It's another thing to manage the security of a fleet of apps across an org.

A #CloudSecurity system that uses #MachineLearning (ML) to detect #malware sounds great—in theory, but as @aabelak states in her latest article on @darkreading: ML is not magic pixie dust! ML should 𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙 existing security methods, not replace them. okt.to/S8b5y9
