Cloud environments comprise hundreds of thousands of individual components, from infrastructure-level containers and hosts to access-level user and cloud accounts. With this level of complexity, it’s important to establish and maintain end-to-end visibility into your environment for many reasons—not least among them to efficiently identify, prioritize, and mitigate security threats.
The landscape of cybercrime continues to evolve, and cybercriminals are constantly seeking new methods to compromise software projects and systems. In a disconcerting development, cybercriminals are now capitalizing on AI-generated unpublished package names also known as “AI-Hallucinated packages” to publish malicious packages under commonly hallucinated package names.
The second annual threat report from the Sysdig Threat Research Team (Sysdig TRT) is packed with their findings and analysis of some of the hottest and most important cybersecurity topics this year. Threat actors are really embracing the cloud and are using it to their advantage to evade detection and speed up their attacks.
The life sciences industry is at the forefront of data-intensive research and innovation. Scientists and researchers rely heavily on the collection, processing, and analysis of vast amounts of data generated by lab instruments. And they are often challenged by errors or confusion in managing data flows that in turn, have a direct impact on the quality of data and corresponding compliance with regulatory requirements.
In modern network environments focused on cloud technology, organizations have undergone a significant transformation in the development and deployment of their IT assets. The introduction of cloud technology has simplified and expedited the deployment process, but it often lacks centralized change management. The cloud's shared responsibility model enables quick deployment and scaling but can pose security risks if not properly managed and understood.
If you had to choose a security measure that would make the most difference to your cyber program right now, what would it be? Maybe you’d like to get another person on your team? Someone who is a skilled analyst, happy to do routine work and incredibly reliable. Or perhaps you’d prefer an investment that would give your existing team members back more of their time without compromising your ability to find and fix threats? What about human intelligence without human limitations?
