Runtime security in multi-cloud environments: best practices and importance

Runtime security in multi-cloud environments encompasses the continuous monitoring and protection of cloud-based resources during their active operation. Unlike traditional security approaches that focus on static configurations or pre-deployment checks, runtime security emphasizes: This approach ensures that potential risks are identified and mitigated in real-time, providing an additional layer of protection against both known and emerging threats in complex multi-cloud setups.

Introducing The 403 Circle by Astra

This Cyber Security Awareness month, we’re thrilled to launch The 403 Circle, our new community-driven approach to building a safer world. It isn’t for everyone, but it might be for you. We are surrounded by an overwhelming trove of information, from AI chatbots and mile-long whitepapers to social networks or ‘communities’ that treat you like a product—to acquire, upsell, and renew contracts. At Astra, we strive to simplify proactive security.

AI-Powered APIs: Expanding Capabilities and Attack Surfaces

AI and APIs have a symbiotic relationship. APIs power AI by providing the necessary data and functionality, while AI enhances API security through advanced threat detection and automated responses. In 2023, 83% of Internet traffic traveled through APIs, but there was a 21% increase in API-related vulnerabilities in Q3 2024, severely impacting AI. The relationship between AI and APIs expands capabilities while simultaneously increasing potential vulnerabilities.

Investigating iOS 18's AI Capabilities

Leveraging on-device machine learning, iOS 18’s AI features tap into user data to provide a personalized experience.

Azure DevOps Restore and Disaster Recovery

Make sure that all your Azure DevOps data is secured in any event of failure. Try GitProtect backup and Disaster Recovery software for Azure DevOps and prevent any data loss scenario. The IT industry nowadays is growing faster than ever before, and with it, there are potential threats that could negatively impact your business. Being able to recover quickly from any event of a disaster should become a key aspect of your cyber defenses.

A Snapshot of Cyber Threats: Highlights from the ENISA Threat Landscape 2024 Report

Understanding the threats we face is crucial to protecting against them. Industry research and reports are invaluable to this understanding, providing insights to inform mitigation efforts. Few cybersecurity reports are as valuable or comprehensive as the annual ENISA Threat Landscape Report (ETL).

Threat Hunting: Strategic Approaches and Capabilities to Uncover Hidden Threats

Threat hunting is the discovery of malicious artifacts, activity or detection methods not accounted for in passive monitoring capabilities. Essentially, threat hunting is the process of identifying unknown threats that otherwise would be hiding in your network and on your endpoints, lying in wait to further expand access and/or steal sensitive data.
