Siloscape: Windows Container Malware That Breaks Kubernetes

In March, Daniel Prizmant, senior security researcher for Palo Alto Networks, uncovered the malware targeting Windows containers, calling the exploit “Siloscape.” In a blog post, he wrote the emergence of such an attack was not “not surprising given the massive surge in cloud adoption over the past few years.” In this edition of The New Stack Makers podcast, Prizmant, as the guest, described what makes Siloscape a threat for Kubernetes clusters — both for Linux and Windows containers. The New Stack’s publisher and founder, Alex Williams, hosted this episode.
