Breaking the Cloud to Build the Cloud

There’s no such thing as a perfectly secure cloud environment. Vulnerabilities, holes left open by misconfigurations, over-permissive roles, and more create a target-rich environment for attackers. Breaking the cloud for good is the job of these expert hackers. View this panel session to learn about offensive security techniques and tactics for breaking the cloud to build the cloud better.

Cloud Detection and Response Has Evolving, Cloud-Scale Challenges

In our previous post, we explored the essentials of cloud detection and response (CDR), highlighting how the cloud's scale and complexity have transformed cybersecurity needs. We discussed the types of threats unique to the cloud and the broad benefits that CDR systems offer to organizations aiming to secure their cloud environments. This follow-up takes us deeper into some of the challenges that arise with detecting and responding to threats in the cloud.

The What and Why of Cloud Detection and Response

A recent survey from Gartner forecasts that worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services will total $679 billion in 2024, and that number is expected to jump to $1 trillion in 2027. Businesses left and right are moving to the cloud. But as they make their move, the old ways of protecting data—like building a virtual wall around your data (“perimeter security”)—are proving inadequate.

Cloud Application Security - Top Threats and Best Practices

Cloud workloads continue to grow as new digital innovations arise monthly in the worlds of IoT applications, cloud services, and big data analytics. However, the cloud's dynamic and often complex nature can make cloud application security challenging. This gap in cloud security readiness is a growing concern for organizations worldwide, with CISOs feeling the pressure. 61% of CISOs feel unequipped to cope with a targeted attack, and 68% expect such an attack within the following year.

How to Use Netskope Security with the Apple Vision Pro

5 Best Practices to Secure AWS Resources

Organizations are increasingly turning to cloud computing for IT agility, resilience and scalability. Amazon Web Services (AWS) stands at the forefront of this digital transformation, offering a robust, flexible and cost-effective platform that helps businesses drive growth and innovation. However, as organizations migrate to the cloud, they face a complex and growing threat landscape of sophisticated and cloud-conscious threat actors.

Cloud Security Regulations in Financial Services

As the financial sector continues to adopt cloud technology, regulatory frameworks such as the updated NIS2 Directive and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) are shaping the cybersecurity landscape. Every second counts in such a complex environment: attackers can move quickly in the cloud, so defenders must change their strategies and tools to keep up. The financial sector has always been a prime target for cyber attacks, with the average breach costing almost 6 million US dollars.
