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.

SaaS adoption has skyrocketed, offering organizations undeniable advantages. But beneath the surface lurk overlooked configuration errors. Misconfigured SaaS settings create security gaps. Broad permissions, weak defaults, and forgotten accounts jeopardize your security. These issues act as open doors for breaches and unauthorized access. The sheer scale of the problem is staggering – 70% of company software now resides in the cloud.

Dirty COW, a seemingly light-hearted name, masks a severe Linux privilege escalation issue. This bug has affected many older Linux systems, which is concerning given that 41% of web servers run on Linux. Despite widespread patches in distributions like Ubuntu and Red Hat, Dirty COW remains a threat, particularly to outdated systems. As a significant security flaw, it poses risks to various devices and servers even in 2024.

The reality of cybersecurity is simple – breaches will occur – and reactivity will always be the losing strategy. Having a cyber resilience framework shifts the focus from preventing attacks to ensuring readiness, mitigating impact, and driving a swift return to operations. With the average data breach costing millions – like it or not – cyber resilience is no longer optional. But how do we translate ‘cyber resilience’ into actionable steps? It starts with a framework.

As you step into 2024, do you have absolute confidence in the security of your Linux systems? The stakes have never been higher, and the risk landscape for Linux is constantly shifting – which presents an ongoing challenge to your system’s security. In 2023 alone, 282 Linux-specific vulnerabilities were added to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog by CISA. Employing an advanced vulnerability scanner is the next step to protecting your systems from these and other potential risks.

Serverless containers mark a notable evolution from traditional containerization. Traditional containers, being continuously active, can lead to resource wastage. Serverless containers, however, are ephemeral and operate on-demand. For developers, this means less time spent on server management and more on coding. Kubernetes, or K8s, stands out in automating, scaling, and managing these containerized applications.

In a world where data is the new currency, understanding and leveraging data monitoring has become indispensable. Data monitoring involves systematically collecting, analyzing, and managing data to uphold its quality, security, and compliance—a critical process in a world where data influences every decision and innovation.

High-velocity software development today is close to impossible (and most certainly not sustainable) without DevOps. The migration to the public cloud, along with increasing regulatory demands, and other factors made application and code security as vital as DevOps. Thus were born the practices and frameworks of DevSecOps. The value of DevSecOps is evident and clearly understood by technologists.

DevSecOps – for many, it feels like a magical black box where code and sensitive digital assets go in one end, and a working piece of software comes out the other. Security practices within the development and operational phases can often get lost. Organizations that haven’t adopted DevSecOps see half of their apps at risk of attacks, while those with a DevSecOps-first approach have only 22% at risk. That’s why the core principles of DevSecOps are important.

Software developers face a constant barrage of cyber threats that can compromise their applications, data, and the security of their organizations. In 2023, the cyber threat intelligence (CTI) market is worth approximately $11.6 billion, and it’s projected to surpass $21 billion by 2027. Why?

For developers, secret and credential leakage is a problem as old as public-facing repositories. Unfortunately, in 2021 it is officially a significant risk. One that is easy to ignore until it is too late. In a rush to deliver, developers will often hard-code credentials in code or neglect to review code for exposed secrets. The results can be embarrassing, at best - but devastatingly costly in other cases.

The cloud has come a long way from Eric Schmidt's "modern" coining of the phrase in 2006. Today, companies and institutions are reliant upon a cloud infrastructure to run their day-to-day operations. This reliance and growth have also transformed the threat landscape and your cybersecurity requirements along with it. Though cloud service providers are working ceaselessly to shore up vulnerabilities and bolster defenses, the responsibility for your cloud assets does not solely lie with them. Estimates predict that by 2025, 99% of cloud failures will be caused by the customer.

Consuming secrets is a cornerstone for connectivity between applications and infrastructure. Whether it be cloud identity-based secrets such as IAM role keys from AWS, or FTP accessibility credentials - secrets such as these are often discovered by malicious users. The common culprit is usually in a public space such as public repositories on GitHub. While it's easy to think "that will never happen to us", it only takes one misplaced key pushed to the wrong repository for your entire infrastructure, application, and databases to be compromised and exposed.

Imagine you are in charge of maintaining data for some of the most secretive government offices and powerful business entities globally. You have a significant investment in your security apparatuses protecting that knowledge. For years you haven't had a single blip or incident to cause any suspicion. Then the unthinkable happens, and from a single weak point, your entire network is compromised by malicious code hidden in an innocuous update.
