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.
A cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) consolidates your security tools, helping development, DevOps, cloud, and security teams sort each piece and see the big picture.
Many enterprises continue to leave cloud storage buckets exposed despite widely available documentation on how to properly secure them.
Protecting applications off prem demands a fresh wave of security talent Sponsored Post Shifting workloads and applications to the cloud is on every forward-thinking CIO's wish list. It is also their worst nightmare. If they get it right, they've helped to transform and modernize their organization's operations and everyone's happy. If they get it wrong, it's a different story, made much worse if a seriously expensive data breach is involved.…
SOCRadar says sensitive information from 150,000 companies was exposed but Redmond disputes findings Microsoft has confirmed a data leak linked to a misconfigured server for a cloud storage service but is disputing the extent of the problem.…
Product brings together workload and infrastructure security into a single platform to provide a unified approach to protecting cloud environments.
New cloud data survey from the Cloud Security Alliance and BigID sheds light on the state of cloud data security in 2022.
How hardware-assisted data security can boost the integrity of sensitive data sets stored in cloud environments Sponsored Feature The concept behind Confidential Computing isn't new – organisations have been using hardware-assisted technology to encrypt and decrypt data for a while now. But fresh impetus from the Confidential Computing Consortium , new technology, and greater reliance on off prem public clouds to host and process sensitive information is prompting a more widespread re-evaluation of its benefits.…
The Federal Police of Brazil on Wednesday announced it had arrested an individual for purported links to the notorious LAPSUS$ extortionist gang
Explore the value of integrating cloud-native application protection into security and development.
The extension allows cloud security teams to protect their organization's infrastructure at the source and collaborate with developers.
Our honeypots caught malicious cryptocurrency miner samples targeting the cloud and containers, and its routines are reminiscent of the routines employed by cybercriminal group TeamTNT, which was said to have quit in November 2021. Our investigation shows that another threat actor group, WatchDog, might be mimicking TeamTNT’s arsenal.
This is your chance to let us know, so we can report back to you Sponsored Feature The steady migration of applications and infrastructure out of in-house data centres and server farms and into the cloud looks unstoppable at this moment in time. Research firm Gartner has estimated that by 2025, 51 percent of IT spending on application and infrastructure software, business process services and system infrastructure will have shifted to the public cloud, up from 41 percent in 2022. And you can bet that large volumes of the data that those applications and systems host and process will go with them.…
