With GitGuardian available on AWS Marketplace, we’re making it easier for all organizations using AWS to protect their software supply chain from exposed secrets and credentials.

Threat actors continue to exploit cloud services for cyber espionage, and a new campaign by a threat cluster named WIP26, discovered recently by researchers at Sentinel One in collaboration with QGroup, targeting telecommunication providers in the Middle East, confirms this trend.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s largest cloud provider, with well over a million active users. The popularity of AWS makes it one of the biggest targets for cybercriminals — and one of the leading contributors to breaches is incorrectly configured Amazon S3 buckets. For example, an insecure bucket led to the unauthorized access of 23 million documents and 6.5 TB of data belonging to Pegasus Airlines.

MITRE ATT&CK and MITRE D3FEND are both frameworks developed by the non-profit organization MITRE, but they serve different purposes. If you are new to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and would like to brush up on some of the concepts first, we created a Learn Cloud Native article to help you on your journey. If you want to go further, here’s how Falco’s Cloudtrail rules align with MITRE ATT&CK.

This blog will explain how Falco’s Cloudtrail plugin rules can be aligned with MITRE ATT&CK Framework for Cloud. One important note is that the team at MITRE has developed several different matrices to address the unique risk associated with adversaries in the cloud, in containerized workloads as well as on mobile devices.

Multi-tenancy can maximize the number of resources that are utilized in a cluster by sharing these resources between different groups, teams, or customers. However, boundaries must be placed to avoid problems associated with resource-sharing. On top of that, in a multi-tenant cluster, the number of security policies might gradually grow to the point where a slight misconfiguration could cause major security problems, performance issues, and service disruptions.
