Law firms are in a precarious position when it comes to cyber risk. These organizations are tasked with storing large amounts of sensitive information — from corporate finances to client data to intellectual property (IP) — and, as such, are finding themselves in the crosshairs of threat actors.

AWS and Azure account for almost two-thirds of this figure. While many organizations benefit from these platforms, the popularity of the cloud can also present significant security challenges.

Privilege escalation in AWS refers to the unauthorized elevation of user privileges within the AWS environment, allowing users to access resources and perform actions beyond their intended level of permissions. This security risk would arise in case the attackers utilize the vulnerabilities or misconfigurations in AWS services, IAM policies, or access controls to take up privileges above the current level.

The Rolling Stones wanted to protect their space; we, as security practitioners, need to protect ours. Data 'castles' in the cloud are out there, and they're constantly under siege. By drawing inspiration from a band that embodied personal freedom, we can draw some – okay, very stretched - parallels to modern cloud security. Nonetheless, they work. And we all knew this blog was coming. And if you read the blog backward you can hear the name of the latest malware family... Maybe.

There’s currently a cybersecurity adage with varying verbiage and claimed origins – the point, however, is unmistakable.

You could have the strongest firewalls, encryption, anti-malware, vulnerability scanners, and risk management tools in the world and still leave one critical gap in your cybersecurity infrastructure — insider threats. And most of those threats come from poor identity management. But what, exactly, is good identity management? How do you pick the right identity provider for your organization?

Modern technology continues to assist, enhance, and shape every aspect of our lives—in our work, our homes, and even our vehicles. Home security video cameras and car dashcams are prevalent ways to ensure our personal safety and security. A popular electric vehicle has a “sentry mode” that is a perfect example of a system that monitors and captures events happening around the vehicle, providing information about incidents to vehicle owners.
