Hackathons vary in sizes and shapes, but ours has typically been a 24-hour sprint, with teams submitting a five-minute video presenting their project. This year was our biggest hackathon yet, with almost 90 teams registering across a multitude of departments including Support, Sales, Product, Technical Writing, and, of course, Engineering! We crowdsource the first-round judging by asking anyone at Rubrik to participate in evaluating projects.

In this tutorial, we will walk through the end-to-end process of scanning your Amazon S3 buckets for sensitive data with Nightfall’s S3 Sensitive Data Scanner. By the end of this tutorial, you will have an exported spreadsheet report (CSV) of the sensitive data in your S3 buckets.
Cloud security is not only good for consumers — but it’s also a requirement for businesses in many industries.

A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. For a daily selection see our twitter feed at #ionCube24. Way too many awesome articles to include caught my attention this week. These three made it though.
