Managing container security for over a million daily data transformations is daunting enough. Now imagine doing it with zero tolerance for vulnerabilities. This was the challenge facing Datuum, whose AI-powered platform handles sensitive data integration for Fortune 500 companies and government agencies. With just three security team members managing enterprise-grade requirements, Datuum needed more than […]

The Vulnerability (CVE-2024-10963) Our Root Labs team has been tracking an important HIGH (CVSS score of 7.4) security vulnerability in LibPam (Pluggable Authentication Modules) that compromises access control mechanisms. It was formally reported through NVD on November 7, 2024. The flaw (tracked as Bugzilla 2324291) allows attackers to bypass local access restrictions through hostname spoofing: […]

Containers are the foundation of modern software development, enabling unmatched efficiency, scalability, and consistency. In cloud-native ecosystems, container security is essentially synonymous with application security. However, while containers streamline development, they also introduce unique security challenges. At scale, a single vulnerable image can cascade through an organization’s infrastructure, exposing critical systems and sensitive data. The […]
