The Rolling Stones wanted to protect their space; we, as security practitioners, need to protect ours. Data 'castles' in the cloud are out there, and they're constantly under siege. By drawing inspiration from a band that embodied personal freedom, we can draw some – okay, very stretched - parallels to modern cloud security. Nonetheless, they work. And we all knew this blog was coming. And if you read the blog backward you can hear the name of the latest malware family... Maybe.

There’s currently a cybersecurity adage with varying verbiage and claimed origins – the point, however, is unmistakable.

We’re excited to announce that Indusface has once again been recognized as a 2024 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice for Cloud Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) for three consecutive years.

You could have the strongest firewalls, encryption, anti-malware, vulnerability scanners, and risk management tools in the world and still leave one critical gap in your cybersecurity infrastructure — insider threats. And most of those threats come from poor identity management. But what, exactly, is good identity management? How do you pick the right identity provider for your organization?

Modern technology continues to assist, enhance, and shape every aspect of our lives—in our work, our homes, and even our vehicles. Home security video cameras and car dashcams are prevalent ways to ensure our personal safety and security. A popular electric vehicle has a “sentry mode” that is a perfect example of a system that monitors and captures events happening around the vehicle, providing information about incidents to vehicle owners.

Today’s businesses are building their future in the cloud. They rely on cloud infrastructure and services to operate, develop new products and deliver greater value to their customers. The cloud is the catalyst for digital transformation among organizations of all sizes and industries. But while the cloud powers immeasurable speed, growth and innovation, it also presents risk.

Amazon Bedrock and Elastic’s Attack Discovery automate security analyst workflows As cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated, the need for highly effective security measures becomes imperative. Traditional SIEMs aren’t equipped to address threats fast enough because they rely on too many manual and labor-intensive tasks. AI-driven security analytics from Elastic’s Search AI platform solves these challenges.

Many organizations are migrating to cloud infrastructures. The cloud presents new levels of flexibility and scalability in the way organizations operate. But as with any new opportunity, it also creates new forms of risk. How can organizations succeed at identifying and remediating these security risks?

A long time ago in a movie theater far, far away, a little film by the name of “Star Wars” took the world by storm and changed the course of sci-fi, cinema, and pop culture for decades to come. But believe it or not, this intergalactic tale of droids and lightsaber duels can actually teach us a lot about the importance of cybersecurity. As it turns out, if the bad guys had been a little more security-savvy, the film might have ended quite differently.
