Compromised secrets, such as leaked API and SSH keys, credentials, and session tokens, are the leading cause of cloud security incidents. While attackers can directly compromise secrets through methods like phishing, they can also gain control by finding and taking advantage of simple misconfigurations in your environment.

93% of last year’s data breaches began with compromised credentials. Before the cloud, security perimeters were defined by physical walls and network boundaries, but in the cloud, that perimeter has all but dissolved. Consider what happened in November 2023, when a cloud observability vendor found evidence of unauthorized access to its staging environment — an environment that housed customer data and PII.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, IT leaders, whether CIOs, CISOs, or VPs of IT, are responsible for driving a range of initiatives that enable business growth and success. Projects like cloud migration, hybrid workforce enablement, and SaaS adoption are now essential. However, these initiatives carry inherent risks that need to be carefully managed, especially when it comes to performance, security, and user experience.

When security information and event management (SIEM) tools came to the market over a decade ago, many practitioners considered the combination of information management and event management groundbreaking. Since then, the technology has gone through iterations to improve and enhance its capabilities, including the incorporation of user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), machine learning and AI capabilities, and “out-of-the-box” configurations for smaller organizations to rely on.

Mobile Breakthrough Awards has named Forward Networks the winner of its “2024 Enterprise Cloud Computing Software of the Year” award. This is Forward Networks’ fifth consecutive award win for Enterprise Cloud Computing from Mobile Breakthrough’s Award program.

Cloud storage in SaaS apps has become an indispensable tool for organizations of all sizes, with as much as 60% of corporate data now residing in the cloud. However, the convenience of cloud storage comes with the risk of data leaks, which can have devastating consequences. While cloud storage allows for easy data sharing and collaboration, it also opens up potential vulnerabilities that must be addressed.

As small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) across Asia adopt cloud technologies to accelerate growth, securing your cloud infrastructure becomes a significant challenge. The complexities of managing cloud environments, regulatory compliance, and ensuring real-time threat detection require robust solutions that are both scalable and cost-effective.
