Cloud email has become the center of modern business. Regardless of your organization's industry or size, email connects employees, customers, vendors, executives, financial systems and critical business processes. Unfortunately, attackers know this too. For cybercriminals, compromising an email account is often like finding the master key to a building. Once inside, they may be able to steal information, impersonate employees, redirect payments, spread malware or gain access to other systems.

If you’re running applications behind an Application Load Balancer, Amazon CloudFront, API Gateway, or AWS AppSync, AWS WAF is your first line of defense against malicious web traffic. Graylog provides a purpose-built way to make those enforcement decisions immediately actionable.

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is becoming a bigger opportunity for managed service providers (MSPs), cloud service providers (CSPs), hosters and telecommunications providers. Clients still need compute, storage and networking. But many are rethinking where those workloads should run.

This article was authored by Cristhian Parrot from the Kroll Offensive Security Team. Kroll’s Offensive Security Team recently discovered a new vulnerability within Microsoft’s Azure Monitor Agent Metrics Extension, which demonstrates how subtle configuration issues can introduce significant security risks in widely deployed infrastructure components.

While organizations invest in secrets management solutions like AWS Secrets Manager—a fully managed service for storing, rotating, and retrieving credentials—security teams still face a fundamental challenge: you can’t secure what you can’t see.

As businesses continue moving critical workloads to the cloud, attackers are increasingly targeting identities, SaaS applications, and cloud configurations. While many organizations believe their cloud environments are secure, hidden risks often go unnoticed until it's too late. For MSPs, this presents an opportunity to deliver greater value while growing recurring security revenue.

Identities, permissions, exposed resources, and sensitive data can all contribute to risk regardless of whether they reside in AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud. However, security teams often encounter uneven visibility and coverage across disparate cloud environments, and face difficulty in consistently understanding risk across a multi-cloud estate.
