August Newsletter

We're going to KubeCon 2024 in Salt Lake City, Utah from Nov 12-15! If you're going, we'd love to meet you to hear about your Pomerium journey!

Book a time with us!

Now that we have a breather from supporting our Zero launch, we're bringing back our newsletter with a quick roundup and commentary of the most important events the past few months: 

  • CrowdStrike's BSoD incident

  • Snowflake's ongoing meltdown

  • Upcoming Pomerium feature: improved metrics dashboard!


CrowdStrike is a Harsh Reminder

All client-based solutions are problematic.

Sure, there were issues with faulty software updates and kernel-level access. However, the question remains: Why are we installing third-party clients in our infrastructure?

Based on the conversations we’ve been having this month, we wanted to share some learnings and reasons why we think a clientless-based approach like Pomerium’s is more secure.

Lessons from the Snowflake Breach

MFA is important, but what about the Perimeter Problem?

The Snowflake breach goes to show that social engineering, phishing, and credential theft will continue to work. For Snowflake's customers, the incident is exposing the perils of relying on network-centric security models. Companies are putting their corporate data at risk when they don't applying context-aware, application layer security solutions in place.
