Achieving an effective bring-your-own-device (BYOD) program has been aspirational for many IT organizations. There are explicit security and privacy concerns, which have led many admins to sour on the concept, despite its benefits. Admins have even reluctantly accepted the risk of personal PCs being left unmanaged, which leaves gaps in management and visibility.

With the new release of CloudCasa migration and replication workflows, businesses harnessing Kubernetes can now streamline complex transitions across multiple clouds with unprecedented ease.

IT professionals are the people who Make Work Happen™ throughout their organization — so it’s important they have the right tools at their fingertips.

Two recent Microsoft breaches underscore the growing problem of cloud identity attacks and why it’s critical to stop them. While Microsoft Active Directory (AD) remains a prime target for attackers, cloud identity stores such as Microsoft Entra ID are also a target of opportunity. The reason is simple: Threat actors increasingly seek to mimic legitimate users in the target system. They can just as easily abuse identities from cloud identity providers as they can in on-premises AD environments.

95% of cloud security fails are due to internal slip-ups. One wrong password, one sloppy permission, and your sensitive data are out in the open. Thankfully, AWS gives you tools to fight back. IAM lets you control who does what, down to the finest detail. And IAM PassRole? It prevents sneaky permission grabs that put your data at risk.

Achieving and maintaining compliance in the cloud proves challenging for many organizations, as it is a complex, ongoing effort that includes safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring infrastructure resources are correctly configured. Success often hinges on the ability to monitor compliance-related trends over time, enabling organizations to spot risk patterns, gauge their current compliance posture, and adapt as new risks emerge. However, gathering this data can be difficult.

CrowdStrike and Google Cloud today debuted an expanded strategic partnership with a series of announcements that demonstrate our ability to stop cloud breaches with industry-leading AI-powered protection. These new features and integrations are built to protect Google Cloud and multi-cloud customers against adversaries that are increasingly targeting cloud environments.

Microsoft’s Active Directory (AD) has been a mainstay of information systems for over 20 years, but it was intended for a different era of computing and business requirements. Its persistence affects IT’s agility, impacts security posture, and limits IT’s capacity to provide the best-of-breed tools that employees expect.
