Most organizations adopt cloud and containers to accelerate application development, but by adopting a secure DevOps approach and embedding security into the DevOps workflow, you can ensure security controls don’t slow down developers. Check out these key considerations to keep in mind as you put together your plan for securing clouds and containers.

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.

The Splunk Threat Research Team continues to address ongoing threats in relation to geopolitical events in eastern Europe. The following payload named Cyclops Blink seems to target Customer Premise Equipment devices (CPE). These devices are generally prevalent in commercial and residential locations enabling internet connectivity (Cable, DSL Modems, Satellite Modems, Firewalls, etc).

Resilience means more than bouncing back from a fall at a moment of significantly increased threats. When addressing resilience, it’s vital to focus on long-term goals instead of short-term benefits. Resilience in the cybersecurity context should resist, absorb, recover, and adapt to business disruptions.

Databases are sensitive resources that need an additional layer of protection and security. Though database servers have built-in authentication and authorization mechanisms, they are not designed for cloud-based, multi-tenant access mechanisms. Managed databases such as Amazon RDS are accessed and administered by different personas with varying levels of access permissions.

Many companies look to CISOs or compliance teams to manage security throughout software development. But this practice usually keeps security considerations separate from developers. CISOs can assign security tasks to developers, but if developers aren’t thinking about security regularly, those tasks may be overlooked.

Have you ever wondered what vulnerabilities are exploited the most by threat actors? The answers you have been eagerly waiting for could be found inside a joint Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) coauthored by the cybersecurity authorities of the United States (CISA), Australia (ACSC), Canada (CCCS), New Zealand (NZ NCSC), and the United Kingdom (NCSC-UK), plus the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
