The cybersecurity landscape has dramatically shifted with the rise of cloud computing. While Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) have proven valuable in protecting traditional endpoints, the cloud introduces a new set of challenges. This post examines why these solutions, rooted in endpoint-centric approaches, may fall short in the cloud, highlighting the need for a new generation of cloud protection strategies designed for SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS environments.

Since CrowdStrike’s acquisition of Bionic, we have been embedding application security posture management (ASPM) capabilities into CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, creating a unified solution that bridges the gap between proactive security for cloud security teams and cloud runtime protection for security operations. We are excited to share new ASPM updates in Falcon Cloud Security, built to help teams detect and respond faster to today’s cloud-focused adversaries.

The real-world asset tokenization market is projected to reach $200 billion by 2030, underscoring the enormous potential in this space. However, bringing digital assets to market presents non-trivial considerations and a need for infrastructure providers and software vendors to collectively fulfill functional and non-functional tokenization platform requirements.

Managing access across multiple AWS accounts is a popular approach to isolating workloads and data. While it provides several benefits to organizing the various operational requirements for the environment, it introduces additional complexity for managing IAM policies and workload permissions. A primary concern is assigning too many permissions to any one source, which increases the risk of an attacker moving within the environment undetected.

We did that in a record time of 12 days!! Yes, you read right, TWELVE DAYS! We are thrilled to announce that Jit is now officially listed on the AWS Marketplace.

Being listed on the AWS Marketplace is a testament to our commitment to providing top-notch services to our customers.

With Cloudflare Waiting Room, you can safeguard your site from traffic surges by placing visitors in a customizable, virtual queue. Previously, many site visitors waited in the queue alongside bots, only to find themselves competing for inventory once in the application. This competition is inherently unfair, as bots are much faster and more efficient than humans. As a result, humans inevitably lose out in these high-demand situations, unable to secure inventory before bots sweep it all up.

At Datadog, we build and operate a complex, self-managed infrastructure that spans multiple cloud providers and serves many customers in regulated environments. We need to secure this large, distributed infrastructure while maintaining strict uptime requirements and scaling our finite people resources. In this post, I’ll detail the playbook that we use on Datadog’s Cloud Security team for securing our infrastructure, including.
