Based on the well-known cybersecurity method, “honeypots”, Calico Cloud runtime security approach of Honeypods as decoy pods are designed to attract traffic to them from malicious sources and to detect suspicious activity within a Kubernetes cluster.

Cloud optimization is the process of correctly selecting and assigning the right resources to a workload or application with the ultimate goal of minimizing costs while improving performance and efficiency. These resources can range from computational power, memory, and storage to network capabilities. The cloud optimization process involves continuously monitoring, analyzing, and fine-tuning these resources to ensure optimal performance.

Cloud computing has become a cornerstone of business operations, with cloud security at the forefront of strategic concerns. A significant focus within this domain is the protection of containerized environments, which are increasingly targeted in cloud-based breaches. Embracing CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform) is crucial, particularly for its role in securing these versatile yet vulnerable container environments.

Today’s security practitioners face a daunting challenge: Staying ahead of sophisticated adversaries who have turned their attention to the expansive terrain of cloud environments. CrowdStrike observed a 95% year-over-year increase in cloud exploitation in 2022. This trend demands strategic reevaluation of how organizations protect their cloud environments and workloads, and emphasizes the importance of choosing the right cloud security capabilities.

For DevOps software developers, navigating the cloud landscape without a clear understanding of risks is equivalent to walking into a minefield blindfolded. Cloud risk management, therefore, becomes an indispensable tool for DevOps – enabling us with the ability to identify, assess, and mitigate potential threats that could jeopardize their applications, their data, and their organization’s reputation.

How many of us use ChatGPT? And how many of us use SaaS applications as part of our daily workflows? Whether you know it or not, if you use either of these tools, your data has likely traveled beyond the boundaries of your “fort.” What do I mean by “fort,” exactly? For this guide, consider your “fort” to be somewhere where you can monitor and secure your data. When data leaks outside your “fort,” it presents a myriad of possible risks.

Many applications rely on user data to deliver useful features. For instance, browser telemetry can identify network errors or buggy websites by collecting and aggregating data from individuals. However, browsing history can be sensitive, and sharing this information opens the door to privacy risks. Interestingly, these applications are often not interested in individual data points (e.g.

The advent of cloud computing has revolutionized various industries, with cybersecurity being no exception. In the realm of threat intelligence, cloud computing has emerged as a game-changing force, enhancing the way intelligence is gathered, analyzed, and applied. This post delves into the transformative impact of cloud-based solutions on threat intelligence.

As the last school bell rings before winter break, one thing school districts should keep in mind is that during the winter break, schools can become particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks as the reduced staff presence and extended downtime create an environment conducive to security lapses. Criminal actors make their move when organizations are most vulnerable: on weekends and holiday breaks.

Two months ago, we made Cloudflare Turnstile generally available — giving website owners everywhere an easy way to fend off bots, without ever issuing a CAPTCHA. Turnstile allows any website owner to embed a frustration-free Cloudflare challenge on their website with a simple code snippet, making it easy to help ensure that only human traffic makes it through.

We are thrilled about Australia’s strategic direction to build a world-leading cyber nation by 2030. As a world-leading cybersecurity company whose mission is to help build a better Internet, we think we can help. Cloudflare empowers organizations to make their employees, applications and networks faster and more secure everywhere, while reducing complexity and cost.

In the fast-paced environment of cloud-native apps, security and seamless connections are a priority. Many DevOps and SecOps professionals use Kubernetes native features to handle their container security, keeping a tight grip on access and secrets to improve security posture. The integration between AWS AssumeRole and JFrog Access in Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS), enhances enterprise security by automating secrets management.

Azure App Service is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) commonly used to deploy applications and APIs, as well as functions, mobile apps, and more. It provides flexibility and reliability when deploying new applications and infrastructure, but it also introduces new security risks to your system. In particular, reduced visibility into the infrastructure and deployment of your application leads to a greater chance of application vulnerabilities being exploited by an attacker.

With over 50,000 in attendance, AWS re:Invent 2023 had generative AI taking center stage at keynotes, race cars, and robots wowing at the Expo. Once again, Snyk showed up in a big way. Some of our highlights included being awarded the AWS ISV Partner of the Year in EMEA and UKI, achieving AWS Security Competency, and several new integrations with AWS services. Best of all, we got to meet all of you!

The landscape of coding is changing as developers embrace AI, automation, microservices, and third-party libraries to boost productivity. While each new approach enhances efficiency, like a double-edged sword, flaws and vulnerabilities are also introduced faster than teams can fix them. Learn about one of the latest innovations solving this in a recap of what our security experts discussed at AWS re:Invent 2023.

Proprietary severity scoring often burdens AppSec teams. With every new vendor, you must evaluate their custom severity framework and work to translate assessed risk between tools. To eliminate this burden and provide our customers with a clear security assessment for configurations across the SDLC, Snyk will be moving towards standardizing our code to cloud security rules set on the Common Configuration Scoring System (CCSS)!

So, you’ve dipped your toes into the cloud, chasing after that sweet combo of efficiency, scalability, and innovation. But, hold up – with great power comes great responsibility. It’s time to build up those digital defenses against all the lurking risks that come with the cloud craze.

This post is also available in 한국어, 日本語, Português. The 2023 Cloudflare Radar Year in Review is our fourth annual review of Internet trends and patterns observed throughout the year at both a global and country/region level across a variety of metrics. Below, we present a summary of key findings, and then explore them in more detail in subsequent sections.

The security industry is at a critical juncture. Capturing the state of affairs is a recent report released by the International Information System Security Certification Consortium, or ISC2.

Amazon EC2 is the most popular cloud computing environment and powers a great part of the Internet. Accessing EC2 Instances is done using SSH, which typically involves generating and managing SSH Keys. This is not easy when you have a large fleet/team.

Keeper Security has released the third part of its series on Privileged Access Management (PAM) research, the Keeper Security Insight Report: Cloud-Based Privileged Access Management, to determine what IT leaders are seeking in a PAM solution and the benefits of moving away from traditional, on-premises platforms.

Malicious browser extensions are a common attack vector used by threat actors to steal sensitive information, such as authentication cookies or login credentials, or to manipulate financial transactions.
