Tools for application developers running in Kubernetes

The modern approach to operation addresses many pressing business issues. Containers and orchestrators make it easy to scale projects of any complexity, streamline the release of new versions, and enhance their reliability, but they also introduce additional challenges for developers. Programmers primarily care about their code: architecture, quality, performance, elegance — rather than how it will be deployed in […]

Document collaboration system for Zimbra Open-Source Edition

The importance of collaborative document editing in modern business cannot be overstated. The ability to draft contracts and agreements with the involvement of colleagues from the legal department, write commercial proposals under the supervision of management in real time, and so on, allows companies to save thousands of man-hours that were previously spent on numerous approvals. This is why one of the major innovations in Zextras Suite 3.0 was the introduction of Zextras […]

Not by scanning alone, or how to build a vulnerability management process in 9 steps

On July 4th, we held a large seminar on vulnerability management. Today we publish the transcript of a presentation by Andrey Novikov from Qualys. He will discuss the steps necessary to establish a vulnerability management workflow. Spoiler: we won't get to scanning until the mid-point. Step #1: Determine the maturity level of vulnerability management processes At the very beginning, it's essential to understand at what level […]

Flow protocols as a tool for monitoring the security of the internal network

When it comes to monitoring the security of an internal corporate or departmental network, many people associate it with controlling information leaks and implementing DLP solutions. But if we try to clarify the question and ask how you detect attacks within the internal network, the answer will typically involve mentioning intrusion detection systems (IDS). And what was once the only […].

You can now build Docker images in werf using a regular Dockerfile

Better late than never. Or how we nearly made a serious mistake by not having support for regular Dockerfiles for building application images. This is about werf — a GitOps utility that integrates with any CI/CD system and manages the entire application lifecycle, allowing you to: build and publish images, deploy applications in Kubernetes, and remove unused images using special policies.
