In the world of cloud services, transparency has often been treated as a box to check rather than a cornerstone of innovation. Trust and status portals, once an innovative approach for offering visibility into service health and availability, now largely feel stagnant and table stakes providing the bare minimum.

The year 2024 is over, so it’s time to sum up what threats were the most dangerous for DevOps and PMs. Outages, degraded service performance, vulnerabilities, cyberattacks, ransomware – all of those were appearing in media headlines all year round. Thus, for the third year in a row, we’ve decided to analyze incidents related to Git hosting services, like Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, and Atlassian. Our first article in a DevOps threat landscape series is dedicated to Azure DevOps.

Each year, Data Protection Day marks an opportunity to assess the state of privacy and security in the midst of technological innovation. This year’s inflection point follows a robust dialogue on AI from last week’s World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos. As CrowdStrike participated in these discussions, we emphasized the importance of leveraging AI to defend against ever-evolving cyber threats and protect the very data and workloads used to power AI.

Compliance management has emerged as a cornerstone of sustainable growth and risk mitigation. Companies today face increasing regulatory demands while striving to achieve ambitious business objectives. Strategic compliance management, therefore, is not just about adhering to rules but about seamlessly aligning compliance efforts with business goals.

Nearly 90% of cyberattacks are known methods that proper systems can detect, but most organizations don’t have the best defenses. Signature-based detection is a vital aspect of cybersecurity. It offers some benefits but also has some drawbacks. This blog will break it down simply to help you strengthen your defenses against new threats.

This blog is the latest in a series that delves into the deep research conducted daily by the Trustwave SpiderLabs team on major threat actor groups currently operating globally. APT34, also known as OilRig, Earth Simnavaz, and Helix Kitten, is a sophisticated, state-sponsored cyber threat group with suspected ties to Iran.

If you’re looking for a quick way to block bots with robots.txt, you may be disappointed to learn that it’s not as effective as many people think. Robots.txt is often discussed as a simple solution for controlling crawler traffic, but in reality, it provides very limited protection.
