When AI Writes, Scans and Fixes Code, Runtime Becomes the Last Line of Defense

Anthropic recently launched Claude Code Security. Using its most advanced model, Claude Opus 4.6, the tool found over 500 high-severity vulnerabilities in production open-source codebases. These are bugs with security implications that had survived decades of expert review, continuous fuzzing, and multiple layers of automated scanning. The cybersecurity market reacted badly: roughly $15 billion in …

Cloud Threat Detection in 2026: The Growing Role of SecOps

Cloud threat detection is changing as attacks increasingly unfold inside running workloads rather than in static code or configuration layers. This shift affects how detection works in practice and how security teams are able to investigate incidents once alerts appear.

Selective Memory Dump Technique for Deeper Container Forensic Analysis

Every attack leaves a trail, but in containerized environments, that trail can vanish before you even realize you have been attacked. Containers are short-lived, and attackers exploit this by executing malware in memory, loading hidden payloads, or deploying rootkits, then silently modifying or deleting evidence to cover their tracks. By the time security teams are …

Supply Chain Security Risk: GitHub Action tj-actions/changed-files Compromised

On March 14th, 2025, security researchers discovered a critical software supply chain vulnerability in the widely-used GitHub Action tj-actions/changed-files (CVE-2025-30066). This vulnerability allows remote attackers to expose CI/CD secrets via the action’s build logs. The issue affects users who rely on the tj-actions/changed-files action in GitHub workflows to track changed files within a pull request. …

Walk the Line: High-Fidelity Incident Detection Without Disruption

In the dynamic world of cloud native, security teams are inundated with an overwhelming flood of alerts—far too many for any team to realistically manage. This constant barrage creates a risky dilemma: sift through the noise or silence alerts, risking missing real attacks. Like Johnny Cash’s “Walk the Line,” security teams must strike a careful …

Understanding the Importance of Runtime Security in Cloud Native Environments

Gartner has estimated that “90% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production by 2026—up from 40% in 2021.” The inherent benefits of cloud native application development enable developers to introduce new code into the environment at an accelerated rate. However, the dynamic nature of these environments amplifies the risks associated with runtime …

Protecting Workloads Against Real-World Attacks With Ease

Attackers are sophisticated, there is always a lag between zero days and mitigation, and production workloads are critical. So why is the adoption of runtime security for cloud native applications still lower than shift-left security practices for the same applications?

It’s About Time for Runtime: 2021 Cloud Native Security Survey

While container environments grow in size and complexity, many misconceptions persist about securing cloud native applications. Our latest survey reveals a huge knowledge gap around runtime security, with 97% of cloud native security practitioners still unaware of crucial container security principles. Here are the insights we gained into the challenges that DevOps and security teams …

Detect and Prevent Exploits in Runtime with Vulnerability Shielding

A single vulnerability in one of the code dependencies can put an entire application at risk, yet 48% of organizations knowingly push vulnerable code into production regularly. With a heavy reliance on open source software to build applications, patching a myriad of vulnerabilities has become an extremely hard and time-consuming task. It’s not always possible, …
