Background for this topic.
Cloud computing involves delivering computing services—such as storage, processing, and networking—over the internet using remote data centers. This model enables organizations to scale resources dynamically without owning physical infrastructure. In security terms, the cloud environment is defined by multi-tenant infrastructure where multiple customers share hardware and software resources managed by a cloud provider.
Key security concerns include controlling access through strong identity and access management (IAM), protecting data with encryption both at rest and in transit, and managing vulnerabilities in shared infrastructure components. The cloud’s shared responsibility model requires customers to secure their applications and data while providers secure the underlying platform. Misconfigurations, weak access controls, and insufficient monitoring can expose cloud assets to unauthorized access or data leakage, making precise configuration and continuous security assessment essential.
Microsoft has fixed a known issue that was causing Office applications like Word and Excel to crash when working with cloud documents. [...]
Acronyms serve as a gatekeeper — if you don't sling the lingo, you don't belong. So here's a quick guide to the letter salad of cloud cybersecurity.
Cohesity beefs up protection services for Microsoft 365 users in South East Asia Sponsored Post Enterprises often forget that SLAs with cloud providers cover access to the service, but not necessarily protection for the data.…
A two-pronged approach that combines agent and agentless tools may offer the best protection Webinar Agents sit on devices to perform security scanning and reporting, system restarts/reboots, software patching, configuration and general system monitoring. Agentless security tools do much the same, just without the agents, making them a better bet for security vulnerability scanning on remote machines where its harder to install an agent – like the cloud.…
We investigate cloud-based cryptocurrency miners that leverage GitHub Actions and Azure virtual machines, including the cloud infrastructure and vulnerabilities that malicious actors exploit for easy monetary gain.
The unsecured server exposed more than 1.5 million files, including airport worker ID photos and other PII, highlighting the ongoing cloud-security challenges worldwide.
New research says IAM spending will grow on the back of affordable subscription services, spurred by cloud and mobile adoption, IoT, and continued remote working.
Dell aims to take the pain out of backup and recovery for the cloud Sponsored Feature The enterprise multi-cloud migration is in full swing. As businesses continue to simultaneously host more of their applications and workloads with different providers spanning various on- and off-prem environments, it can create problems.…
Microsoft has expanded its confidential computing offering and is now allowing Azure cloud computing service customers to create hardware isolated virtual machines (aka confidential VMs) with Ephemeral OS disks. [...]
Companies need to consider the cost to disengage from the cloud along with proactive risk management that looks at governance issues resulting from heavy use of low- and no-code tools.
Appears to have leaked from a cloud thanks to sloppy coding A threat actor has taken to a forum for news and discussion of data breaches with an offer to sell what they assert is a database containing records of over a billion Chinese civilians – allegedly stolen from the Shanghai Police.…
