Misconfigurations in infrastructure as code (IaC) can be just as dangerous as vulnerabilities in code. Small mistakes in configuration can lead to the sensitive data being readable on the internet, or private endpoints and dashboard accessible to the anonymous users and abused as the initial point of compromise. Recent security research findings indicate the rise in malware targeting the Kubernetes platform which showcases the need for secure configuration.

Google recently released the new Cloud Security Foundations Guide. We’re going to take apart Google’s guide and show you what’s worth looking into. First, an introduction. “This comprehensive guide helps you build security into your Google Cloud deployments.” – Google What’s going on: Google Cloud Services are out there, being deployed in the wild, untamed. This guide is Google’s self-proclaimed “opinionated” view on keeping them safe.

When it comes to establishing a robust mobile application security posture, vulnerability scanning is certainly the go-to option. But given the complex cybersecurity challenges of modern times, it might be complicated and challenging to implement vulnerability scanning properly. According to the 2020 Edgescan Vulnerability Statistics Report, around 35% of the vulnerabilities discovered in external-facing apps were of critical or high risk.

Cybersecurity has a bad rap for getting in the way of business. Many CIOs & CISOs dedicate a lot of time to minimizing security solutions’ performance drag on their network traffic while ensuring that the solutions continue to do their job keeping the network secure. The move to the cloud exacerbates this challenge.

The following is an excerpt from Netskope’s recent book Designing a SASE Architecture for Dummies. This is the seventh, and final, in a series of seven posts detailing a set of incremental steps for implementing a well-functioning SASE architecture.

This is the third in a series of posts examining the recent Devo research report, Beyond Cloud Adoption: How to Embrace the Cloud for Security and Business Benefits, which is based on a survey conducted by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). This time, we’ll take a look at the cloud-computing security challenges Cloud Evangelists face. Let’s begin by explaining how we define that group.

The pandemic has accelerated digital transformation and telework on a scale never seen before. Employees are working from anywhere and collaboration in the cloud has skyrocketed. But this new environment has expanded the cyber attack surface, compromising critical U.S. infrastructure and lives of our citizens. The recent slew of major cyber attacks including SolarWinds, Microsoft Exchange and Colonial Pipeline, has moved cybersecurity improvements to the top of the agenda for the U.S.
