Lessons to Learn from TeamTNT: Best Practices for Securing Cloud Environments

Is your system being used for crypto mining without your consent? This might sound unlikely to you, but it could be possible, and you won’t even know about it. Cryptojackers can find your unprotected or exposed servers to put malicious code or malware and use it for mining cryptocurrencies.

CrowdStrike Showcases Cloud Security Innovation and Leadership at AWS re:Invent

As organizations accelerate their innovation in the cloud and their adoption of AI, securing AI workloads and identities has become critical. Misconfigurations, vulnerabilities and identity-based threats expose high-value assets to potential manipulation and exploitation. For AWS customers, advancing cloud security means establishing resilient guardrails that protect innovation without compromising speed.

CrowdStrike Announces Falcon Identity Protection for AWS IAM Identity Center

As organizations scale their operations on Amazon Web Services (AWS), they must secure their identities and ensure all users have the correct permissions. AWS IAM Identity Center is built to simplify access management across multiple AWS accounts — a critical tool for rapidly growing AWS environments. This hub for identity data and processes demands strong protection against the identity-focused threats growing popular among today’s adversaries.

What is Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)?

Coined by Gartner in 2022, continuous threat exposure management, or CTEM is a structured framework for continuously assessing, prioritizing, validating, and remediating vulnerabilities across an organization’s attack surface, enabling you to respond effectively to the most pressing threats over an ever-expanding attack surface. Reactive security is a temporary fix, not a sustainable solution.

NDR in the Era of Cloud and Hybrid Environments: Why It's Essential

With cloud infrastructures expanding across private, public, hybrid, and multi-cloud models, effective security monitoring is essential. Gartner’s 2024 Hype Cycle for Workload and Network Security suggests that NDR solutions are becoming critical in these diverse environments and could reach widespread adoption within the next two to five years. This trend underscores the importance of NDR for visibility and rapid threat detection in today’s complex cloud landscapes (see Figure 1).

8 Best Practices When Using AWS Security Groups

Are you concerned about the security of your AWS environment? With over 73% of businesses having at least one critical security misconfiguration, it's essential to take proactive measures to protect your data and applications. While AWS is responsible for the security of the underlying infrastructure, you are responsible for securing your data and applications in the cloud.

From deals to DDoS: exploring Cyber Week 2024 Internet trends

In 2024, Thanksgiving (November 28), Black Friday (November 29), and Cyber Monday (December 2) significantly impacted Internet traffic, similar to trends seen in 2023 and previous years. This year, Thanksgiving in the US drove a 20% drop in daily traffic compared to the previous week, with a notable 33% dip at 15:45 ET. In contrast, Black Friday and Cyber Monday drove traffic spikes. But how global is this trend, and do attacks increase during Cyber Week?

Sysdig and Cribl: Unleash the true power of cloud security data

Cloud security operates on a different paradigm compared to traditional IT security. For example, it involves multiple contextual layers such as cloud services, containers and Kubernetes that require specialized insights. The challenge is even harder when the organization is affected by compliance requirements, and is compounded by the sheer volume of data that becomes a major concern for any organization. Failing to effectively manage it leads to costly inefficiencies and risks.

Access AWS RDS Databases in EKS Using Teleport Machine ID Without Passwords

At Teleport we love modern infrastructure and open-source software, but don't like static credentials and passwords. This created a challenge for us when deploying Temporal, an open-source workflow automation software on EKS: Temporal always requires a password to authenticate to the backend RDS database. To solve this problem, we turned to Teleport Machine & Workload Identity.
