With AWS re:Invent 2018 now behind us, we wanted to share some of our reactions to the event and many of the announcements. It was an exciting time for Fugue, as we announced the availability of our new SaaS solution, an easy-to-use solution for finding compliance violations in your AWS environments, detecting infrastructure drift, and automatically remediating it when it occurs.
Read MoreYesterday, we showed you how you can use Fugue to scan your AWS infrastructure, discover what resources you have running, and identify any policy violations for compliance frameworks like HIPAA, GDPR, NIST 800-53, and the AWS CIS Benchmarks.

Read MoreCloud infrastructure misconfiguration has emerged as the number one cause of data breaches in the cloud. Rather than application software vulnerabilities, it’s actually misconfigured network settings, firewall rules, storage access policies, and other cloud resources that put our data at most risk. We’ve talked a lot about the risk of cloud misconfiguration and why it’s critically important to have a Mean Time to Remediation (MTTR) for cloud infrastructure misconfiguration that’s measured in minutes, not hours or days. But why are cloud misconfiguration MTTRs more often measured in hours or days? And how many man-hours are teams wasting in their attempts to manage this problem? We work with a wide variety of enterprises using cloud at scale—from federal agencies to Fortune 500...
Read MoreLaunched in 2011, AWS CloudFormation was a game changer because it was one of the first template-based, infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools that provided the ability to express the full cloud infrastructure stack as configuration files. It wasn’t limited to the OS layer like traditional configuration management tools. However, organizations that operate on AWS under strict security rules and compliance regimes (i.e., HIPAA, PCI, NIST 800-53) need to make sure their infrastructure is created in accordance with the applicable security and regulatory policies—and stays aligned in the face of constant change. The Risk of Cloud Misconfigurations, Drift, and Policy Violations IaC tools like CloudFormation (CF) were not designed to address security and compliance comprehensively, and they...
Read MoreFor many people, their home is their largest and most valuable investment. However, most do not know how well their home is functioning. With the emerging of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, any device can be put on your home network and be at your command. A home automation system can control lighting, climate, entertainment systems and appliances. A “connected” or smart home provides a wealth of information that can be used to save the homeowner money, time and frustration. One company, Whisker Labs, is leveraging data analytics from energy IoT devices to deliver home intelligence via energy savings and greater peace of mind. The company’s sensing and software technology mines the electrical network of the home, detecting electrical fire hazards. Energy management services...
Read MoreOne of the most common regulations out there is PCI, which helps ensure the security of financial and personal information for payment card transactions. Any organization that accepts credit card payments, or stores, processes and transmits cardholder data, must be PCI compliant. That means most organizations, from not-for-profits to small businesses to large corporations, must comply. Non-compliance can result in costly fines or worse: data breaches, a loss of customer trust, and lasting brand damage. For organizations adopting cloud, maintaining PCI compliance brings new challenges. PCI governs how IT infrastructure--such as servers, networks, and databases--must be configured to ensure data is protected at all times. But in the cloud, infrastructure is programmable and...
Read MoreThis post was written by Mike Lin.Welcome to a guide to the basics of mocking in Python. It was born out of my need to test some code that used a lot of network services and my experience with GoMock, which showed me how powerful mocking can be when done correctly (thanks, Tyler). I'll begin with a philosophical discussion about mocking because good mocking requires a different mindset than good development. Development is about making things, while mocking is about faking things. This may seem obvious, but the "faking it" aspect of mocking tests runs deep, and understanding this completely changes how one looks at testing. After that, we'll look into the mocking tools that Python provides, and then we'll finish up with a full example. Learn more about testing code for python security...

Read MoreOur team is showcasing Fugue's cloud operating system at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Summit in Santa Clara today, July 13. Come by booth 420 to talk with our representatives and get a firsthand look at how we can help you radically simplify cloud infrastructure complexity. Last month, at the AWS Public Sector Summit in Washington, D.C., Fugue CEO Josh Stella spoke on immutable infrastructure to a packed house—standing room only—in a joint session on cloud-native DevOps with AWS Senior Solutions Architect, Alex Corley. Josh shared our view that the cloud actually functions as a global meta-computer and that Fugue has been specifically designed to be a robust operating system for it. You program infrastructure with the declarative simplicity and functional power of Ludwig, our new...
