Docker introduces Hardened Images to boost supply chain security


Security of the enterprise software supply chain isn't solved with buzz or branding. It is solved with trust, scale, and seamless integration into real developer workflows.
To meet everyday software supply chain challenges Docker is launching Docker Hardened Images (DHI), a curated catalog of security-hardened, enterprise-grade container images.
Containers are a weak link in supply chain security


The use of container images is growing fast thanks to their flexibility and convenience, but they can also represent a weak cybersecurity link in software supply chains.
A new report from NetRise looks at the scope and scale of the components and risks found across 70 of the most commonly downloaded Docker Hub container images.
Rhino Linux 2024.2 horns in on Microsoft Windows 11


Rhino Linux has released its latest version, 2024.2, bringing a bunch of updates and enhancements that make it a compelling choice for those considering a switch from Windows 11.

Cloud-focused malware campaigns on the increase


As commercial adoption of cloud technologies continues, cloud-focused malware campaigns have increased in both sophistication and number.
A new report from Cado Security is based on analysis of real-world techniques employed by attackers using honeypot infrastructure. Last year Cado introduced 'Cloudypots', a new, more sophisticated, high-interaction honeypot system.
Popular vulnerability scanners are only 73 percent accurate


New research from Rezilion finds that there's a high level of inaccuracies and noise created by the market's most popular commercial and open-source scanning technologies.
Researchers examined 20 popular containers on DockerHub, ran them locally, and scanned them using six different, popular vulnerability scanners in the commercial and open-source market. Taking false negatives into account the scanners returned only 73 percent of relevant results out of all vulnerabilities that should have been identified, including those the scanners failed to detect.
Ubuntu Linux maker Canonical publishes curated container images to help secure software supply chains


A good deal of software development now relies on open source images, but it can be hard for businesses to know if they're introducing security flaws by using them.
Canonical -- the company behind Ubuntu Linux -- is addressing this by publishing the LTS (Long Term Support) Docker Image Portfolio, a curated set of secure container application images, on Docker Hub.
Docker launches Windows Server application migration program


Containerization enables organizations to both modernize existing applications and adopt new technologies based on business requirements. But the process of migrating older systems can be daunting.
Popular container platform Docker is addressing this with the launch of a new Windows Server application migration program. This is designed to allow businesses to migrate and modernize their legacy Windows Server applications in advance of the end-of-support deadline for Microsoft Windows Server 2008.
MSPs and resellers see containers as the biggest opportunity since virtual machines


A new survey of channel partners by container platform specialist Diamanti reveals that resellers and service providers see the adoption of containers as a massive disruption and opportunity.
Enterprises are rapidly adapting their applications and systems for the cloud, and containers are viewed as a key enabling technology. According to Diamanti's survey, more than 75 percent of channel partners say containers represent a moderate or major money-making opportunity.
Oracle products now available through Docker store


Oracle’s databases, middleware and developer tools are now available in the Docker Store marketplace, thanks to a new partnership between the two companies, announced yesterday.
Available via the Docker Certification Program, the tools allow developers to quickly build cloud-native applications using Docker Enterprise Edition as their container platform. The Certification Program is a framework, allowing partners to integrate and certify their technology to the Docker EE platform.
Twistlock delivers enhanced security and compliance for container environments


In recent years containerization has seen increased popularity thanks to its ability to deliver an agile, flexible environment in which software can be reliably moved from development to testing to live, or from in-house to the cloud.
But the use of containers also throws up new challenges, particularly when it comes to keeping data secure. Container security specialist Twistlock is using this week's DockerCon to launch an updated product with new features, improved performance and a revised user interface.
Docker launches new enterprise platform


Containerization specialist Docker is releasing a new commercial platform for enterprise development and IT ops teams that build, run, and operate business-critical applications.
Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) is made up of a container runtime with integrated and multi-tenant orchestration, security and management, in addition to an ecosystem of certified technologies.
New container platform speeds up Docker deployment


Containerization has seen a big increase in popularity in recent years, but companies are keen to ensure they're able to deploy containers quickly and keep control of the costs.
Container infrastructure specialist Diamanti is launching a new purpose-built appliance for containerized applications, allowing businesses to deploy Docker containers quickly with guaranteed service levels and at a lower cost than traditional data center infrastructure.
What's next for containers, unikernels, and coding


Everyone talks about containers. It became so huge that we think Docker has existed for a long time. The fact is that it has only started. We can observe that by the amount of changes we are seeing. Docker from two years ago is very different than Docker today. Products in its ecosystem are appearing every day and many are disappearing just as quickly. If there is a space we should turn our attention to, that’s containers.
At the same time, we have already switched our focus to other areas. Containers, by themselves, are the old story. We know what they are, we did our proof of concept (PoC), and we adopted them. The real question is what should we focus on now? What will this year bring?
New automation tool helps businesses deploy Docker containers


Automated software delivery specialist Puppet is launching a new Docker Image Build tool, which automates the container build process to help organizations as they define, build, and deploy containers into production environments.
