When it comes to securing your production environment, it’s essential that your security teams are able to detect any suspicious activity before it becomes a more serious threat. While detecting clear-cut attacker techniques is essential, being able to spot unknowns is vital for full security coverage.
After a year full of unknowns and new normals, knowledge is power. The spike in cyber breaches in the past year, compounded by COVID-related attacks, has only increased the importance of cyber threat intelligence (CTI). The 2021 SANS Cyber Threat Intelligence survey, sponsored by ThreatQuotient, explores the state of play in the global use of CTI and outlines why the difficulties of the past year have contributed to the continued growth and maturity of CTI.

As Uncle Ben once said, “With great power comes great responsibility.” This is also true of the Kubernetes API. It is very powerful, and you can build amazing things on top of it, but it comes with a price—a malicious user can also use the API to do bad things. Enter Kubernetes RBAC (role based access control), which enables you to use the API in a controlled manner by granting only required privileges needed, following least privilege principle.
Financial services are big targets for cybercrime. As the world shifts from physical to online, credit unions are doubling down on web applications to improve access and ensure vital financial services for their members. But with that comes greater security risks. In this benchmark study, we analyze the Top US Credit Unions with our attack surface analysis tool to highlight security weaknesses they should watch out for.
