More companies are switching from on-premises systems to public cloud services, ensuring long-term growth and digital resilience. But as their implementations grow, they begin to realize that their exposure to cyberattacks and other risks grows as well. Cybersecurity is an essential practice for successful businesses. Adapting to business growth is a good problem to have, but without an eye on cloud security, that growth could cost you in the long run.

No single organization is prepared to stop an attack from a nation-state Not so long ago, I woke up every morning focused on one thing: finding and exploiting vulnerabilities. During my 10 years working for the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), my single objective was to identify and exploit networks to collect foreign intelligence. I was fortunate to work alongside the world’s best professional vulnerability and exploit developers. My time serving my government was formative and humbling.

Distributing malware through a. ZIP file isn’t anything new, so threat actors are using a new tactic in response to tightening cybersecurity measures across the globe.

Unfortunately, the very pieces that help keep us well provide a perfect hunting ground for threat actors. Threat actors are attracted to the data rich environments in healthcare organizations.

Picture this: unfortunately you had to let one of your engineers go. No matter how many times you tried to tell them, after countless interventions and meetings with the engineering lead, they simply wouldn’t stop using tabs instead of spaces. An absolutely unforgivable offense. A few weeks later, suddenly your production Snowflake database is wiped out. You log on to assess the damages and you check the SNOWFLAKE.ACCOUNT_USAGE.QUERY_HISTORY for every user in the system.

The concept of storing sensitive data in the cloud was once seen as ludicrous. Now, businesses are moving into cloud security at an exponential rate with the promise of larger storage space, lower costs, and improved performance. However, with such great benefits come severe risks.

The only constant you can count on in technology is change. From microprocessors to PCs to smartphones to software, technology continues to become faster, smarter, and more sophisticated. But make no mistake: what’s changed the most in the world of technology over the past few decades is the hacker. Hackers are highly motivated to stay ahead of the latest security trends. It’s how they keep from getting caught, and how they keep the fun and profit rolling.
