The ongoing growth in the adoption of cloud services poses escalating opportunities and risks in equal measure. The increased capacity and scalability of cloud environment lends itself to an accelerated pace and higher volume of software and application development than ever before. This trend brings into play a huge increase in the number of software components and dependencies that developers use in their code bases.

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) aims to automate the identification and remediation of risks across your entire cloud infrastructure. A core requirement of the CSPM framework is the need to enforce a principle of least privilege. There are certain overlaps with Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) solutions. CIEM is a newer categorization that came after CSPM.

A common use case for Open Policy Agent (OPA) is to decouple authorization from the application. This enables policies and decisions to be managed centrally and lifecycled independently to the application. For application use cases, OPA can be integrated at the API Gateway, Service Mesh or Microservices layer or any combination of these.

Mobile forensics is the process of accessing, recovering, and analyzing digital evidence from mobile devices using a court accepted methodology. The information that can be gleaned from a criminal’s phone is highly valuable. That’s why mobile forensics and digital forensics as a whole are valuable assets for law enforcement and intelligence agencies worldwide.

Editor’s note: This is Part 2 of a five-part cloud security series that will cover protecting an organization’s network perimeter, endpoints, application code, sensitive data, and service and user accounts from threats.

In Teleport 8, we introduced the TLS Routing feature that can multiplex all client connections on a single TLS/SSL port. Recently we've added support for TLS Routing for Database Access when Teleport is deployed behind an AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB). In this article, we will take a deep look at the problem with Teleport behind an ALB and how we solved it.
