Vulnerabilities in the underlying infrastructure of cloud-native applications continue to be a challenge. Once cyber attackers get access to the underlying operating system, either because of privilege escalations or misconfigurations, it is possible to do a lot of damage. Organizations need to ensure that the cloud-native applications are being scanned for vulnerabilities, keeping the latest patches and applying them. Tools like SysDig and Appsmith can be helpful.
