Description

Kubernetes Security: K8s Is Both the Problem and the Solution

This IDC Perspective provides an in-depth review of Kubernetes security. Securing a Kubernetes environment is not like securing a virtualized collection of servers and applications. Kubernetes totally changes the rules of the software code protections game as applications move from monolithic to microservices based, linking hundreds or even thousands of loosely coupled services that are dynamic, ephemeral, and highly distributed, often with the support of third-party applications that have their own vulnerabilities and maintenance challenges. Building security into applications is now the model for modern application development and requires a "shift left" approach."The uniqueness of Kubernetes has customers demanding more comprehensive solutions. Bolt-on, after-the-fact security solutions are things of the past and just will not work. Modern application development requires the ability to build security into applications. Security should be viewed as a continuous process rather than products." — Frank Dickson, group vice president, Security and Trust at IDC.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
