We recently released the State of Cloud Security study, where we analyzed the security posture of thousands of organizations using AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. In particular, we found that: In this post, we provide key recommendations based on these findings, and we explain how you can leverage Datadog Cloud Security Management (CSM) to improve your security posture.

Organizations are transitioning into the cloud at warp speed, but cloud security tooling and training is lagging behind for the already stretched security teams. In an effort to bridge the gap from endpoint to cloud, teams are sometimes repurposing their traditional endpoint detection and response (EDR) and extended detection and response (“XDR) on their servers in a “good enough” approach.

In the age of cloud computing, where more and more virtual hosts and servers are running some flavor of Linux distribution, attackers are continuously finding innovative ways to infiltrate cloud systems and exploit potential vulnerabilities. In fact, 91% of all malware infections were on Linux endpoints, according to a 2023 study by Elastic Security Labs.

It sounds like something from a sci-fi novel, but guess what? With the magic of cloud compliance, this futuristic vision is already coming to life. The cloud is home to 83% across the globe.

If you’re responsible for creating a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule, you’ll almost certainly need to reference a large list of potential values that each field can have. And having to manually manage and enter all those fields, for numerous WAF rules, would be a guaranteed headache.

For customers using Azure Key Vault—which helps them safeguard sensitive keys and secrets used by applications and services hosted on Azure—it can be challenging to determine when the resources in their Key Vault(s) are about to expire. Invalid keys and secrets can disrupt your day-to-day workflows by causing application downtime, holding up incident investigations, invalidating compliance, slowing down the development of new features, and more.

As the internet continues to evolve, cybersecurity threats—particularly Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks—are an increasingly significant concern for organizations. In this post, we’ll look at how you can use Datadog to collect Google Cloud Armor (GCA) logs and detect and respond to potential DDoS attacks in real-time. But first, we’ll briefly cover what DDoS attacks are and how they work.

The capabilities of cloud computing have changed the digital landscape significantly, and the popularity of cloud solutions only continues to increase. According to Gartner, the market for public cloud services is expected to surpass 700 billion USD by the end of 2024. The growth of cloud technologies presents a wealth of new opportunities for IT teams but also brings a host of security challenges.
