Today, Netskope partnered with the Cloud Security Alliance to release the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Data Security Survey Report, a survey focused on data protection needs in cloud and hybrid work environments. Unsurprisingly, the report found that the biggest pain point organizations identify with trying to modernize their data protection strategy is that current DLP deployments show limitations when it comes to cloud and remote work use cases, and they are a nightmare to manage.

Mobile security refers to the technologies and processes that are used to protect mobile devices from malicious attacks, data breaches, and other forms of cybercrime. It also includes measures taken to safeguard personal information stored on these devices, as well as protecting them from physical damage or theft. Mobile security is becoming increasingly important due to the rapid proliferation of smartphones and tablets being used for business purposes around the world.

Another day, another cyber espionage campaign exploiting two legitimate and well-known cloud services to deliver the malicious payload. Once again, this campaign was unearthed by researchers at Sentinel One, and it is aimed to distribute the Remcos Remote Access Tool (yet another example of a remote control tool used for malicious purposes) through the DBatLoader to target predominantly organizations in Eastern Europe.

Vulnerabilities are only one part of the cloud security story. Misconfigurations are still the biggest player in security incidents and, therefore, should be one of the greatest causes for concern in organizations.

According to the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP, 2019), broken object-level authorization (BOLA) is the most significant vulnerability confronting modern application programming interfaces (APIs). It can be exciting to pursue innovations in the API area, but while doing so, programmers must ensure that they are adequately attentive to security concerns and that they develop protocols that can address such concerns.
