Most likely, your organization leverages cloud computing because of its practical advantages: flexibility, rapid deployment, cost efficiency, scalability, and storage capacity. But do you put enough effort into ensuring the cybersecurity of your cloud infrastructure? You should, as data breaches and leaks, intellectual property theft, and compromise of trade secrets are still possible in the cloud.

Trust is fragile in software, especially in the fast-paced complexity of cloud environments. Code signing reinforces that trust by digitally proving your software’s authenticity and integrity. Breaches like the UnitedHealth Group incident remind us why this matters—compromised code has real-world consequences. The breach potentially exposed the sensitive health data of millions of Americans.

Google Cloud HSM (Hardware Security Module) is a cloud service offered by Google that delivers secure key storage and cryptographic operations within a hardware environment that is set apart from any other instances. In contrast to HSMs, these hardware devices originated for the purpose of keeping cryptographic keys safe and executing cryptographic operations in a secure, tamper-resistant manner.

Data safety has become a primary issue for business organizations of any scale as they move to cloud computing. With businesses using cloud services to save and run critical information, the development of confidence encryption and essential management techniques is paramount. Several security methods have become popular; bring your own key (BYOK) is among them.

The exploitation of cloud services is a flexible weapon in the hands of attackers, so flexible that we uncover new campaigns abusing legitimate apps on a daily basis.

Today’s digital landscape is full of ever-evolving cyber threats. Securing your organization’s identities has become very important. Azure Identity Protection is a strong ally. It empowers you to strengthen your defenses and protect your most valuable assets: your users’ identities. This strong security service gives you a single view of potential weaknesses. It also gives you the tools to stop risks and react fast to incidents.

One of the great benefits of the Internet has been its ability to empower activists and journalists in repressive societies to organize, communicate, and simply find each other. Ten years ago today, Cloudflare launched Project Galileo, a program which today provides security services, at no cost, to more than 2,600 independent journalists and nonprofit organizations around the world supporting human rights, democracy, and local communities.
