Few things in recent years have changed the game plan of the tech organization as much as the infrastructure as code movement. With infrastructure itself largely having moved into the cloud, automating provisioning, upgrades and management of that infrastructure was a natural next step.

Misconfigurations in infrastructure as code (IaC) can be just as dangerous as vulnerabilities in code. Small mistakes in configuration can lead to the sensitive data being readable on the internet, or private endpoints and dashboard accessible to the anonymous users and abused as the initial point of compromise. Recent security research findings indicate the rise in malware targeting the Kubernetes platform which showcases the need for secure configuration.

CloudCasa is a simple, scalable, and inexpensive cloud backup service for protecting your Kubernetes and cloud native applications. We worry about protecting your Kubernetes environment so that you don’t have to! Since the introduction of CloudCasa in November of last year, we’ve been making improvements and adding new features at a steady rate. The CloudCasa team has been very busy this spring, and we’re now pleased to announce yet another major release of new service features!

When it comes to Data protection, we used to talk about securing the perimeter with firewalls, VPNs, cybersecurity training for employees, to prevent data leaks - remember those days?? Well, these days, things are a little different as we now have remote working to contend with. As a result, Zero Trust has crept in and tilted the formula for Data security and securing network perimeters is no longer effective.

On, July 2nd, a massive ransomware attack was launched against roughly 60 managed services providers (MSPs) by criminals associated with the REvil ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) group. The attack leveraged the on-premises servers deployed by IT Management Software vendor Kaseya. It was initially thought that Kaseya might have been compromised themselves as a root cause -- similar to the compromises associated with SolarWinds software in December of 2020.

The REvil ransomware (a.k.a Sodinokibi) is a threat group that operates in the RaaS (Ransomware-as-a-Service) model, where the infrastructure and the malware are supplied to affiliates, who use the malware to infect target organizations. On July 2, the REvil threat group launched a supply chain ransomware attack using an exploit in Kaseya’s VSA remote management software. REvil claims to have infected more than one million individual devices around the world.

Cryptocurrencies, once the exclusive domain of an idealistic fringe movement, have recently become attractive to mainstream retail investors. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the valuation of cryptocurrencies rose exponentially, reaching a market capitalization of over $2 trillion. Cybercriminals are always looking for the path of least resistance to make money and cryptocurrencies are now in their crosshairs.

The corporate network can be a busy place with devices connecting, reconnecting and disconnecting every day. With the ever-growing landscape of today’s corporate networks, the difficulty of knowing and understanding what is on an enterprise network has highlighted the importance of effective asset discovery. So what does asset discovery involve? Asset discovery involves keeping a check on the active and inactive assets on a network.

Life science companies must implement quality processes into procedures in order to meet regulatory requirements and endpoint validation. But the implementation of quality processes is not an easy task. Managing the process of gathering feedback and gaining approval can be slow and comlex. In today's video, we will show how to handle Standard Operating Procedures or SOPs on the Egnyte platform and how to enable Part 11-compliant workflows for the review and approval process.

Users of Elastic Security are protected through numerous layers of protections against the REvil ransomware that affected Kaseya VSA and its customers. Elastic Security’s layered protections prevented 100% of the REvil ransomware samples tested before damage and loss could occur to the business. We believe that detections and preventions must be layered, as no single protection works 100% of the time.
