In Part 2 of this series, we looked at Amazon’s built-in monitoring services for AWS WAF activity and audit logs. In this post, we’ll demonstrate how Datadog complements your WAF’s existing protection and extends its capabilities to not only offer protection at the perimeter but also to the APIs and services within your network.

It’s a familiar post-disaster scene in seemingly every television medical drama. A ferry has crashed, or a train has derailed. Patients flood into the ER, each requiring urgent medical attention. The impossibly attractive medical staff must quickly assess and prioritize patients based on the severity of their injuries and the likelihood of survival. Someone with great hair likely says an inspiring quote and jumps immediately into action.

IONIX’s Cloud Cross-View (CCV) uses cloud integrations to broaden the scope of attack surface mapping and coverage beyond traditional methods of monitoring. CCV extends asset analysis to consider aspects that are specific to cloud environments. This complements CSPM and CNAPP solutions by enriching them with broader attack surface data obtained through IONIX’s EASM capabilities.

With ransomware increasing and a complex, business-critical cloud migration on the horizon, BSM, one of the world’s largest shipping companies, was seeking a solution to monitor its environment for potential threats, both now and in the future. Working with Kroll gives the company greater visibility across its global network of offices and ships to better detect and respond to threats.

An increasing number of phishing campaigns from several threat groups are being tracked as they leverage legitimate Cloudflare services as part of account compromise attacks. Security analysts at Netskope take an expository look at the misuse of Cloudflare services for the purpose of enabling phishing attacks that leverage HTML Smuggling and Transparent Phishing tactics. We’ve seen HTML Smuggling attacks for several years, including its continued use this year.

Many organizations struggle with handling BYOD and mobile devices. Permitting those devices to access resources poses a larger challenge for governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). Questions of how to deploy approved apps and updates remain unresolved. It’s an even greater struggle when legacy Active Directory infrastructure is added to the mix. The temptation to piece together a strategy with point solutions can be met with resistance from IT directors who favor consolidation.

Cloud computing has changed the way we work, and mostly for the better. Widely available cloud applications let us create new documents, access our existing files, and communicate with our coworkers from just about anywhere. However, cloud computing has also created new data security and privacy concerns. A comprehensive CASB DLP policy can help address these concerns and keep your organization’s data exactly where it belongs.

Attending industry events is quite possibly one of the most important requirements of running a successful managed service provider (MSP) business. Why? On the one hand, a few days away from the day-to-day grind of running your MSP to instead network with your peers and enjoy some MSP swag seems like the perfect opportunity to unwind while staying connected. On the other (equally as important!) hand is all the great learning going on.
