CrowdStrike is defining the future of cloud security by empowering customers to rapidly understand their cloud risk and to detect, prevent and remediate cloud-focused threats. Today we are announcing a series of new cloud security innovations designed to deliver complete visibility into potential attack paths, from endpoint to cloud, and instantly secure vulnerable cloud workloads across build and runtime.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a crucial aspect of any organization's cybersecurity strategy, especially in industries that handle sensitive data, such as health care, finance and government. PAM involves implementing policies, procedures and tools to manage and monitor access to privileged accounts and limit the risk of unauthorized access or misuse. This ensures that only authorized personnel can access critical systems and data, reducing the chances of a security breach.

Cybersecurity is a constant journey, always full of fresh challenges. New threats keep popping up. Endpoint-only solutions are ineffective. And the cybersecurity skills shortage makes it difficult to recruit and retain top talent — especially with the increasing salaries required to be competitive. You may consider a security operations center (SOC), until you find out that operating one in-house is prohibitively expensive and time-consuming.

May often heralds the start of summer — warm weather, long days, and plenty of cybersecurity workers taking much needed time off. Cybercriminals however, are always at their monitors and love to take advantage of times when they know defenses may be down and this month was no different. May saw a wide range of cybercrime, including disruptions of schools and news organizations, a slow-burn in the tech sector, and public negligence from one of the web’s most well-known entities.

Today, development is faster than ever. More apps and code are being written than ever before. There are more third-party dependencies in use to speed development, more containerization, and even code that controls the deployment and configuration of apps and the cloud. To ship quickly, developers need to stay on top of security issues. They want to understand how to build secure applications by getting feedback as they work.

A cybersecurity baseline is an invaluable set of standards for your organization. It helps you understand your security posture, identify security gaps, and meet cybersecurity regulations. The most widely adopted cybersecurity baselines are those recommended by the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, the SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls, and Shared Assessments (designed for third-party risk management). We covered the specifics of these frameworks in a previous blog.

We’re excited about achieving several key milestones with Amazon Web Services as we head into re:Inforce 2023 next week. These milestones include achieving the AWS Security Competency, partaking in the Amazon Security Lake launch as a subscriber partner, and the introduction of a Tines-Amazon GuardDuty partner solution. To date, the flexibility of our no-code automation sets us apart from other automation partners by automating across any AWS workflow.

Casepoint is one of the first companies to get approval to serve as an eDiscovery tool for Federal and State governments in the United States. The company manages legal data for huge agencies and is the home of many legal secrets that could provide lawyers with an edge if they had access to all the company's data. That's why Casepoint suffering from a data breach is such a significant problem.

Former Texas Congressman William "Mac" Thornberry and Trustwave Government Services President Bill Rucker recently sat down to discuss several pressing issues impacting the federal government’s cybersecurity preparedness, the impact the Russia-Ukraine War has had on cyber, and what remains to be done to shore up the nation's cyber defenses. This is the first of a two-part conversation.

MiTM or Man-in-the-middle attack is one of the most common cyberattacks that online users must be aware of. Anyone who’s actively connected to the internet for both work and entertainment purposes is at risk of being a victim of a MiTM attack. Fortunately, you can prevent the above from happening. This blog is here to help. Below, we’ll discuss MiTM attacks, their types, how they work, and how to prevent becoming a victim.
