Over the past couple of years, containers have solved many complex issues related to the compatibility and portability of deployments. But that means they contain sensitive information that can attract the attention of cybercriminals. Securing containers in the cloud should be a major priority for businesses to ensure a robust security environment to safeguard their crucial business information. Digital transformation has offered endless possibilities for businesses to stay ahead of the curve by leveraging cutting-edge technologies. However, being digitally advanced doesn’t guarantee adequate security, especially in a business environment where enterprises are swiftly adopting cloud technologies. According to a survey conducted by Statista in 2021 , around 64% of respondents agreed that data loss/leakage is their biggest cloud security concern. Since more and more organizations worldwide are migrating workloads to the cloud, security concerns have become more pertinent. One major c...

The COVID-19 pandemic has conveyed a strong message to leverage technology to its full potential, not just for convenience but to remain safe. Although QR Codes are the new normal and help us follow COVID-19 safety regulations, bad actors of society exploit the vulnerabilities associated with this technology. As per a survey, 18.8% of consumers in the US and UK strongly agreed with an increase in the use of QR Codes since the outbreak of COVID-19.
