Modern software development teams will have individual preferences about whether to use IDEs or which testing framework or coding convention to adopt. However, for teams that want to deliver high-quality software at a rapid pace, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) is a must-have. Mature, high-performing dev teams lean heavily on their CI/CD pipeline. Because of this heavy dependence on CI/CD, ensuring the security of your CI/CD pipeline is incredibly important.

Enterprises are increasingly adopting multi-cloud environments to take advantage of the flexibility and scalability of different cloud platforms. However, this shift has also introduced a major security challenge: the rise of identity-based threats. With 82% of data breaches now involving cloud-stored data, securing cloud identities has become a critical need. The complexity of managing identities and permissions across multiple cloud platforms only amplifies the risks.

Securing complex cloud environments is as crucial as it is challenging. The surface area for attack is vast. With the elastic nature of cloud resources, a single compromised service could allow attackers to take over large portions of your infrastructure, often lurking undetected for extended periods. This presents a significant risk to your organization, as your dynamic and ever-evolving cloud environment makes it difficult to maintain control over who has access to what.

Consider a modern software application as a constellation of cities that dot the landscape. These cities are components such as databases, authentication services, business logic engines, and more. Requests travel between components carrying data just as citizens travel between cities carrying their belongings. The highways that connect the cities on this map are your APIs. Cities get the most attention, often receiving the security and protection they need.

Cryptojacking is rapidly emerging as the most popular type of attack on cloud native applications and infrastructure. Care to guess how many cryptojacking attacks were recording in 2023? As a reference point, in the year before (2022), there were 139M cryptojacking attacks. However, this number jumped 659% the following year (2023) to 1.06B! That averages nearly 3M cryptojacking attacks every day, on average.
