Ransomware stands out as one of the top threats to organizations running workloads in the public cloud. By encrypting data stores and crippling cloud functions, ransomware has the potential to completely shutter operations unless ransom demands get paid. In this…
Zero-day vulnerabilities represent one of the most dangerous threats to cloud environments today. By exploiting previously unknown software flaws before patches become available, attackers can significantly escalate impact across provisioned infrastructure. In this article, we’ll analyze the anatomy of modern…
The exponential growth and ephemeral nature of cloud infrastructure and software delivery pipelines have rendered traditional manual security controls impractical. Ad-hoc administration cannot scale securely at cloud speed. In response, organizations are embracing security automation. Through this article, we discuss…
The exponential growth in cloud adoption has exponentially increased security data volumes ingested by modern SOC teams. Legacy correlation and analytics engines struggle deriving signal from noise at cloud scale. To keep pace, next-generation cloud security leverages artificial intelligence (AI)…
E-commerce represents one of the most widely adopted categories of cloud-hosted applications and environments today. Online retailers extensively utilize IaaS and PaaS to rapidly innovate while supporting massive growth. But as much as public cloud propels e-commerce innovation, it also…
The exponential growth of cloud adoption has expanded the traditional security perimeter beyond on-premises data centers to distributed and ephemeral environments. To effectively defend cloud assets in the face of rising threats, organizations need a new security paradigm centered on…
While leading public clouds provide foundational security capabilities, organizations often find gaps in visibility, advanced threat detection, compliance controls, and cross-environment management. Addressing these shortcomings typically requires integrating third-party security tools. In this guide, we’ll provide a framework for evaluating…
The speed and agility of DevOps delivers tremendous business benefits. But that velocity can also introduce vulnerabilities without controls in place. Here we explore how organizations can embed security into DevOps pipelines for cloud applications, creating a continuous “DevSecOps” practice.…
The adoption of software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) has brought immense business benefits, but also introduced new security risks. Traditional security tools often fall short in protecting cloud environments. This is where cloud access security brokers (CASBs) come in.…
Security incidents like data breaches, service disruptions and malicious attacks are bound to occur at some point, even in the most secure cloud environments. How organizations prepare for and respond to these incidents is crucial to minimizing damage and restoring…
