Building Docker images is an important component of the software delivery pipeline for modern applications. It’s how we package our apps and services so that they can be distributed to others and deployed to production. While the Dockerfile has long been the standard for defining container images, it is known to be challenging to make...
Researchers with cybersecurity firm Wiz earlier this year discovered, almost by chance, a significant supply chain risk and massive secrets leak in the Visual Studio Code and OpenVSX marketplaces that they said put a focus on the ongoing security issues presented by extensions and plugins. In their months-long investigation with Microsoft, the researchers found that […]
Turning imagination into reality has never been more possible—or more powerful—than it is today. With OpenAI’s Sora 2 now in public preview in Azure AI Foundry, organizations of all sizes can harness this advanced multimodal video generation model to accelerate innovation, drive engagement, and transform how ideas become compelling visual stories. The post Sora 2 now available in Azure AI Foundry appeared first on...
At Docker, we are building our hardened images to exacting standards. That means carefully crafting by hand, because humans are still the best security architects. That said, we understand the value of AI and deploy it as an extra set of eyes at critical junctures in our Docker Hardened Image (DHI) build process. With this...
A global survey of 1,015 IT professionals with responsibility for application security finds more than three quarters (77%) are using artificial intelligence (AI), with another 13% considering adoption. Conducted by Fastly, a provider of a content delivery network (CDN) service, the survey also finds 25% of survey respondents using AI have fully integrated into their […]
