In 2023, nearly 60% of incidents investigated by Arctic Wolf Incident Response involved a vulnerability that was two — or more — years old. That means the organization had 24-plus months to find and remediate the vulnerability before threat actors took advantage. Why do vulnerabilities remain persistent? There’s a number of reasons, not the least of which is that more of them pop up each day, creating a mountain of vulnerabilities that feels too difficult to summit for most businesses.

We recognize that federal agencies face a wide range of cyber threats in today’s hybrid and cloud work environment, which requires securing multiple endpoints. From nation-states to organized crime groups, adversaries are looking to steal data at the highest levels of government, and the stakes have never been higher. Protecting sensitive information, ensuring national security and safeguarding public trust all hinge on effective cybersecurity strategies.

This is the second in a series of articles about cloud-based attack vectors. Check out our last article about admin takeovers! Inside the Cloud: Attacks & Prevention – Administrative Account Compromise Ransomware has long been associated with takeovers of endpoints. However, attackers are evolving to target cloud environments – and the effects can be devastating.

As organizations are increasingly relying on web applications, securing them is vital. A Web Application Firewall (WAF) plays a critical role in protecting web apps by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic between the application and the internet. Unlike traditional firewalls, which safeguard internal networks, a WAF focuses on protecting web applications from threats such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS) and other vulnerabilities.

It allows administrators to enforce business logic or policies on what objects can be admitted into a cluster. Kubernetes RBAC is a scalable authorization mechanism, but lacks the fine grained control over different Kubernetes objects. This creates the need for another layer of control which is Admission Policies.
