From #target, #homedepot, to #experian and more, they all had short-term hits on their stock. But over the long-term, the #data #breach had very little effect. Wall Street is quite forgiving of data breaches. #IDGTECHtalk #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth

A1: MyPOV - it is disappointing that draconian laws and regulations are required in order to (attempt to) get companies to take #security and #data #privacy seriously. #IDGtechtalk

I like regex because I get the opportunity to re-learn how to write it every single time the opportunity presents itself. Because I never remember how regex works. Ever.

A5 I can't mention the specific combo of tools. However, I can say that the process is (as @mdkail ) pointed out, designed into the SDLC. No container is released w/o platform verification of communication/access requirements. #idgtechtalk

We have to go back to #Skills here - we need more investment in container security skills and DevSecOPs – we need FAR more #DevSecOps talent buff.ly/2SfPwQl #IDGTechTalk on #Container #Security

A5: Also, run #container processes with the least privilege possible. Most Docker and Kubernetes subprocesses don’t need, nor should they be run as root. Isolate applications from each other & the host, ensure good #infosec. #IDGTECHtalk

Amen! And operational issues can arise in sub-OS virtualization if the underlying OS doesn't/isn't enforcing resource limits. Everybody has to live within their means. #idgtechtalk
