In recent times, the widespread use of cloud services has become common for most organizations. While many organizations now enjoy the savings and convenience afforded by hosting their data and services on cloud platforms, this shift towards the cloud brings with an increased vulnerability to data theft and cyberattacks.

The Relational Database Service (RDS) service offered by AWS is one of the most popular databases today. A lot of critical, confidential data resides inside of RDS. Hence it becomes imperative to protect this data from various threats and ensure that the data is secure. Our approach to protecting the data inside RDS is based on two aspects: Rubrik already supports a modern approach to safeguarding RDS data from an operational perspective and also maintains a clean, secure copy in a different region.

Misconfigured internet-facing servers are a growing risk for organizations and one of the preferred weapons for ransomware gangs to break into their victims’ networks.

In the event of a cyber attack, how confident are you that your Azure SQL data is safe and recoverable? As a commitment to cyber-proofing the cloud, we’re pleased to introduce new security enhancements to our previously-announced Azure SQL protection. Now, businesses and government agencies can further minimize the risk of data loss in Azure SQL databases and Managed Instances.

The Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit (HECVAT) helps higher education mitigate the impact of security risks of vendor relationships offering cloud-based services. With supply chain attacks on the rise, and vendor risks ranking in the top three initial attack vectors for data breaches, HECVAT compliance is becoming a mandatory requirement for partnering with higher education institutions.

Blackhat 2022, on its 25th anniversary, took place this week in Las Vegas. The most important event for the infosec community and the best place for security vendors to showcase all their innovations and products in this ever-growing ecosystem. This year, attendees come from 111 different countries. In 2020, Black Hat added the word Cloud to the existing track about Platform Security.

More companies are switching from on-premises systems to public cloud services, ensuring long-term growth and digital resilience. But as their implementations grow, they begin to realize that their exposure to cyberattacks and other risks grows as well. Cybersecurity is an essential practice for successful businesses. Adapting to business growth is a good problem to have, but without an eye on cloud security, that growth could cost you in the long run.

The concept of storing sensitive data in the cloud was once seen as ludicrous. Now, businesses are moving into cloud security at an exponential rate with the promise of larger storage space, lower costs, and improved performance. However, with such great benefits come severe risks.

Containerization is a rapidly evolving technology in cloud-native applications. Just like computing systems, containers consist of packages of software programs with all the vital elements like binaries, files, and libraries for running an application in the environment from anywhere. Containers are lightweight, and DevOps teams develop applications and deploy services using them. Moreover, organizations also use these containers to deploy and scale the DevOps infrastructure like the CI/CD tools.
