Cloud computing security architecture describes how an organization secures data, applications, and workloads hosted across cloud environments. It specifies all technologies — both software and hardware — allocated for protecting cloud assets, and defines the security responsibilities shared between the cloud services provider and the organization. Cloud security architecture is a component of the organization’s overall security approach.

Endpoints as well as applications such as AWS, Google Cloud, Office 365, 1Password, Slack, and thousands of others produce vast amounts of data. The volume of security data is growing, and this growth will continue for the foreseeable future. This, in turn, leads to several challenges: To solve these problems, many companies have adopted Splunk as their SIEM (security information and event management) platform.

In the past, if someone called themselves hacker chances are, they received some backlash or negative connotations. However, in recent times as the field of information is on the rise a new term ‘Ethical Hacking’ has emerged and opened many different avenues for IT and cyber security professionals.

A zero-day vulnerability has been re-disclosed that is very similar to the Follina zero-day announced last week and is actively being tracked by Trustwave SpiderLabs. The vulnerability was initially publicly disclosed back in 2020 but dismissed by Microsoft, which replied at the time: "We are also always seeking to improve these protections.

When client-side security breaches happen, web application developers may find themselves at the receiving end of the blame game (somewhat unfairly). The demands of an accelerated development cycle combined with pressures related to JavaScript web applications security, means developers may feel caught in the proverbial “damned if you do and damned if you don’t” loop.

Author Brian Mislavsky Rubrik Storage Tiering for Microsoft Azure now leverages Azure Blob immutability by default. In our Winter Release, we introduced Storage Tiering for Microsoft Azure as a way for Rubrik customers to further protect workloads in Microsoft Azure by enabling the ability to logically air gap data between Azure Subscriptions as well as potentially decrease long term storage costs by almost 40%.

It's natural for tension between the cybersecurity team and internal stakeholders to exist. As the administrator, you play a crucial role in ensuring the network's security, protecting against unauthorized access, and troubleshooting any access issues. But trying to keep people both secure and productive can be challenging. Ultimately, you want to protect critical data without making your colleagues' jobs more difficult.

Rego is the purpose-built declarative policy language that supports Open Policy Agent (OPA). It’s used to write policy that is easy to read and easy to write. Fundamentally, Rego inspects and transforms data in structured documents, allowing OPA to make policy decisions. Rego was originally inspired by Datalog, a common query language with a decades-long history, but extends its capabilities to support structured document models like JSON.

We’re told that multi-factor authentication is more secure than passwords, but in truth most MFA is susceptible to the same old threats, such as phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks. In fact, the widely championed advice to “use MFA, any MFA” could lead to a false sense of security and even more data breaches.
