You’ll probably agree that there are barely any organizations left that don’t use some form of cloud computing in their daily operations. In fact, the cloud computing market is booming, with various sources expecting a worth of upwards of $600 billion within the next two years. And it makes sense: Cloud computing is the cheaper, scalable, easier-to-manage young cousin of yesteryear’s private server.

If you’re an IT manager or business owner, chances are external security is always top of your mind. But lately, managing access control of documents for employees has become just as necessary to limit access to information and information processing systems. While cybersecurity breaches are a menacing threat, internal security problems can be equally devastating, making access control measures necessary to mitigate the risk of access without authorization.

In the world of Big Data, decentralization is king. Seeing that today’s data sets are so large and complex that traditional database systems cannot handle them, distributed deep learning splits computational problems that require high storage and solving time into many subproblems that can be assigned to multiple machines.

With over 200% YoY Growth and used by 100,000+ Organizations globally, Slack has become an indispensable internal communication tool for teams to coordinate their activities. But when it comes to exchanging information and external sources, certain risks are at play that requires more insight and attention. Slack links to various vital systems within many organizations, making it an easy, central access point hackers can use to reach multiple systems.

Approaching any finish line in life can be exciting yet stressful. This holds especially true in software deployment. The deployment phase is the final phase of the software development life cycle (SDLC) which puts the software into production. After a project team completes their planning, designing, and testing of a software product, the product is ready to go live.

To grasp the concept of a Kubernetes Deployment and Kubernetes Deployment strategy, let’s begin by explaining the two different meanings of the term “deployment” in a Kubernetes environment: Kubernetes Deployment allows you to make declarative updates for pods and ReplicaSets. You can define a desired state and the Deployment Controller will continuously deploy new pod instances to change the current state to the desired state at a controlled rate.

A recent survey of nearly 2,000 IT professionals found that while most (85%) enterprises believe cloud technologies are critical to innovation, only 40% actually have a security policy in place. On top of this, almost half of the respondents using cloud infrastructure reported their engineers and developers circumvent or ignore cloud security and compliance policies, demonstrating the importance of automation and monitoring technology.

IaC (infrastructure as code) is the latest tool to transform the face of IT infrastructure – in a nutshell, it means managing and provisioning infrastructure through code instead of manual processes. IaC provides developers with a blueprint that allows them to create tools and provision infrastructure on-demand while staying in control, increasing efficiency, and maintaining consistency when deploying updates and changes.

The world of software development has been rocked by JavaScript. With nearly every modern web app making extensive use of JavaScript on the front end. And with JavaScript’s popularity also on the backend with Node.js, it’s hardly surprising that new vulnerabilities are emerging daily, given the sheer volume of open source project dependencies being used by JavaScript developers. The culprit? It all comes down to the free-ware NPM packages installed within Node.js.

Today’s threat actors often carry out cyber attacks with the primary objective of accessing and exfiltrating sensitive information from your IT environment. Efforts to obtain this “crown jewel” information usually involve complex multi-phase cyber attacks. But another way in which sensitive data ends up in the hands of malicious actors with a lot less effort is when an organization exposes sensitive data assets in a data leak incident.
