Author Brian Mislavsky Rubrik Storage Tiering for Microsoft Azure now leverages Azure Blob immutability by default. In our Winter Release, we introduced Storage Tiering for Microsoft Azure as a way for Rubrik customers to further protect workloads in Microsoft Azure by enabling the ability to logically air gap data between Azure Subscriptions as well as potentially decrease long term storage costs by almost 40%.

The cloud has enabled organizations to build and deploy applications faster than ever, but security has become more complex. The shift to cloud has created a world where everything is code — not just the applications, but also the infrastructure they run on. So, any security issue within an application or cloud environment can put an entire system at risk. And keeping that cloud native application stack secure is increasingly the responsibility of development teams.

It is a sentence I hear a lot; “We treat Microsoft 365 as an exception in our cloud security because it is a managed app.” You might think that’s a reasonable approach to take, after all Microsoft’s security credentials are impressive, all OneDrive app traffic is encrypted, and there are plenty of other unmanaged cloud applications in use as shadow IT all over your organisation that pull your attention.

Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is arguably one of the most popular AWS services, and really needs no introduction but here is one anyway. With Sysdig, you can secure EC2 by managing configuration and permissions risk, meeting compliance requirements, and managing vulnerabilities on containers and host VMs. When it comes to EC2 and Hosts themselves, Sysdig Secure alerts us in multiple ways.

As more and more businesses adopt cloud computing services for their operations, the threat against cloud infrastructure is also increasing. AWS, the huge cloud service provider in the market, provides many security features to secure the cloud structure and customer data. It is essential to understand the service provider’s security policy before adopting it for the business.

With more and more organizations moving from traditional on-premises infrastructure to the cloud, it remains critical for organizations to have robust security monitoring, regardless of their cloud platform of choice. Sumo Logic Threat Labs has expanded our log parsing, mapping and detection rules for Microsoft Azure. While our Cloud SIEM has broad coverage for AWS and GCP platforms, we wanted to close the gap for Azure coverage, which previously addressed: Azure - Event Hub Deleted Signal Firing.

Cloud adoption continues to soar. More than two-thirds of small to mid-sized businesses intend to increase their use of cloud technologies over the next few years. While the cloud comes with many security benefits, it also carries unique concerns. As the cloud becomes increasingly central to business operations, cloud security should be a priority. Businesses must ensure this security from the ground up, not add it in later as an afterthought.

Have you ever had your Gmail account hacked? If not, you’re lucky. But it happens, 1 out of 4200 emails sent in 2020 was a phishing activity. Considering that 306 billion emails were sent in the same year, it means a whopping 72 million were phishing-related. Keeping your Gmail secure isn’t a request anymore. You don’t want anyone to access your personal information or compromise important company conversations and files.
