In the arms race to secure environments, codifying permissions often becomes an afterthought in the wake of setting up a new access tool. I often speak with organizations that either don’t know who has permission to what, or have no permission definitions at all. I once onboarded an enterprise level digital communications company that was losing productivity trying to keep track of who had access to their Kubernetes resources.

To allay dependence on oil revenue and expand the private sector, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has committed, in recent years, to establishing a knowledge-based economy. Consequently, they have become a formidable competitor in Information Communication Technology (ICT). As the ICT industry has grown, so have government agencies to regulate it, namely the Signals Intelligence Agency, formerly known as (and often still referred to as) the National Electronic Security Authority (NESA).

Following the Sysdig Threat Research Team’s (TRT) discovery of LLMjacking — the illicit use of an LLM through compromised credentials — the number of attackers and their methods have proliferated.

Elastic has been recognized as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide SIEM for Enterprise 2024 Vendor Assessment.

Today’s threat landscape is defined by adversaries’ increasing speed and quickly evolving tactics. Now more than ever, it is imperative organizations unify and accelerate their security operations to detect, identify and respond to threats at the rapid pace of the adversary. This isn’t always straightforward.

In the fast-paced world of cybersecurity and system observability, timely and accurate incident investigations are crucial. Whether you’re a SOC admin hunting down vulnerabilities, a developer resolving critical system outages, or a team member tracking Real User Monitoring (RUM) errors, the ability to piece together evidence, understand the timeline, and collaborate effectively is the difference between days and weeks of investigation.

This is the third article in a series about cloud-based attack vectors. Check out our last article about Cloud-Based ransomware! As Identity Access Management (IAM) becomes more complex, it becomes possible for an attacker to exploit the capabilities of legitimate permissions alone or in combination, escalating privileges and gaining potentially devastating levels of access. Because these privileges are legitimate, these attacks can be difficult to detect until the damage is already done.

Pulumi customers can secure and simplify their secrets management workflows with a new integration built for 1Password.

Generative AI (GenAI) has the power to transform organizations from the inside out. Yet many organizations are struggling to prove the value of their GenAI investments after the initial push to deploy models. “At least 30% of GenAI projects will be abandoned after proof of concept by the end of 2025, due to poor data quality, inadequate risk controls, escalating costs or unclear business value,” according to Gartner, Inc.
