Cloud security has reached an inflection point. Organizations have accelerated their cloud adoption and must navigate a complex threat landscape where workloads spin up and down in seconds, applications deploy continuously and identities span multiple services and providers.

For SOC teams, the battle against cyber threats can feel like trying to solve a 3D jigsaw puzzle in a bouncy house with missing pieces and a timer blasting every few seconds. Despite the increase in security spending, most teams still struggle with inefficient investigations, alert fatigue, and the non-stop guessing game of prioritizing threats. That’s why we’re excited about our latest integration with Microsoft Security that we hope will help address these persistently common challenges.

In today’s cloud-native environments, network security is more complex than ever, with Kubernetes and containerized workloads introducing unique challenges. Traditional tools struggle to monitor and secure these dynamic, interconnected systems, leaving organizations vulnerable to advanced threats, such as lateral movement, zero-day exploits, ransomware, data exfiltration, and more.

We are excited to announce the upcoming enhancement of ARMO Platform’s Threat Detection and Response feature, designed to provide more robust, real-time security protection for your cloud and Kubernetes environments. While the existing feature effectively detects anomalies, suspicious behavior, and active threats, we recognize the need for additional critical components: Policies, Response, and notifications.

When it comes to managing AWS cloud security, a growing concern for security operations (SecOps teams) is the increasing sophistication of digital threats. While conventional cyber threats deploy widely known tools and techniques in crude, all-or-nothing attempts to breach enterprise security controls, sophisticated attacks known as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) employ more advanced technologies and methods to gain and maintain access to secure systems for long periods of time.

As organizations embrace DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines to accelerate software delivery, their greater dependency on third-party components can introduce security risks. Because malware can infiltrate an environment during development, it’s important to check for it ahead of deployment.
