by Guest Svenbaeck- 0 replies
- 0 views
[HEADING=1]1. Challenge[/HEADING] In Azure Landing Zones, the network infrastructure, including components like VNET Gateways and ExpressRoute circuits, is part of the platform landing zone. However, in line with the subscription democratization principle, workload owners should be empowered to deploy infrastructure as needed while remaining compliant with corporate policies. To achieve this in Azure Landing Zones, a custom Subscription Owner role grants workload (VNET) owners full access, excluding role assignments and networking. While this setup generally works, it poses a challenge for Private Endpoints. Registering a Private Endpoint into the required Priva…

Detect Container Drift with Microsoft Defender for Containers
by Guest Vasavi_Pasula- 0 replies
- 1 view
[JUSTIFY]Introduction In cloud-native Kubernetes environments, Containers are often treated as immutable resources, meaning they shouldn’t change after deployment. Immutable containers minimize the attack surface because they do not allow modifications during runtime. This limits the potential for attackers to make unauthorized changes, install malware, or create backdoors within a running container. Container drift refers to unintended or unauthorized manual changes, updates, patches, or other modifications made during its runtime. When containers drift, they may incorporate untested and unverified changes, such as software updates, configuration modifications, or …
