With new technological advancements continuously emerging, cybersecurity is becoming a paramount concern for individuals and organizations alike. Among the plethora of cyber threats, two terms are often used interchangeably, i.e., malware and virus. However, the fact is that these are not the same and have distinct meanings. The term “malware” can be used for any sort of virus, but viruses can not describe malware types.

With constant developments being made in the area of software development, both development and operations teams are now inseparably tied in their processes, and this has become a vital factor for their success. In recent years, DevOps, a concept built from the words’ developer’ and ‘operator,’ was developed as a new way of working that intelligently integrates these two essential functions throughout the software delivery process.

The prevalence of cyber crime continues to soar, victimizing individuals in both their work and private lives. Cybercriminals are indiscriminate, targeting around the clock and across the globe.

As email compromise attacks increase, analysis of tactics provides context on how organizations need to evolve their defenses.

AWS WAF is a managed web application firewall that monitors network traffic to your AWS applications and resources. As a perimeter-based firewall, AWS WAF is designed to secure the boundaries between your applications and the public internet. This means that it’s capable of protecting all of the various elements of your AWS architecture, including Amazon API Gateways, load balancers, and Amazon CloudFront distributions.

In Part 1 of this series, we looked at how AWS WAF helps you monitor network traffic to AWS resources, as well as key metrics and logs for detecting WAF misconfigurations and malicious activity. In this post, we’ll walk through using AWS’s native tooling to query that data.

In Part 2 of this series, we looked at Amazon’s built-in monitoring services for AWS WAF activity and audit logs. In this post, we’ll demonstrate how Datadog complements your WAF’s existing protection and extends its capabilities to not only offer protection at the perimeter but also to the APIs and services within your network.

It’s a familiar post-disaster scene in seemingly every television medical drama. A ferry has crashed, or a train has derailed. Patients flood into the ER, each requiring urgent medical attention. The impossibly attractive medical staff must quickly assess and prioritize patients based on the severity of their injuries and the likelihood of survival. Someone with great hair likely says an inspiring quote and jumps immediately into action.

It’s not uncommon for enterprises to find themselves in a situation where they’ve purchased new technology but are then faced with the hurdle of understanding what they’ve acquired and how to deploy it. This can often lead to confusion, deployment delays, and frustration with the new technology. Deploying the Cato SASE solution can be both simple and quick if you follow this checklist.
