Cybersecurity leaders already know the importance of a data loss prevention (DLP) solution. They also know DLP has its limits. As cloud applications have grown more common, they’ve introduced gaps in the DLP shield. SaaS apps present new opportunities for data leakage, accidental sharing, and insider threats. To plug those gaps, you need a cloud access security broker (CASB).

Disruptive technologies have a learning curve in the pace of adoption and implementation. Training and education tend to follow a slower schedule and can have a hard time keeping up with discoveries happening on the bleeding edge. This is part of what led to the current cloud security skill gap. The cloud transformed software development, accelerating innovation and the pace of human creativity. But, we now know that it also formed new security challenges.

Chances are good that today you’ve sent a message through an end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) messaging app such as WhatsApp, Signal, or iMessage. While we often take the privacy of these conversations for granted, they in fact rely on decades of research, testing, and standardization efforts, the foundation of which is a public-private key exchange.

In 2018, Cloudflare announced 1.1.1.1, one of the fastest, privacy-first consumer DNS services. 1.1.1.1 was the first consumer product Cloudflare ever launched, focused on reaching a wider audience. This service was designed to be fast and private, and does not retain information that would identify who is making a request. In 2020, Cloudflare announced 1.1.1.1 for Families, designed to add a layer of protection to our existing 1.1.1.1 public resolver.

Anyone using the Internet likely touches Cloudflare’s network on a daily basis, either by accessing a site protected by Cloudflare, using our 1.1.1.1 resolver, or connecting via a network using our Cloudflare One products. This puts Cloudflare in a position of great responsibility to make the Internet safer for billions of users worldwide. Today we are providing threat intelligence and more than 10 new security features for free to all of our customers.

In this increasingly cloud-first world, data protection is more important than ever. With so many organizations relying on cloud applications to get work done, keeping sensitive information secure is a top priority. But balancing convenient access with strong security measures is no easy feat. In fact, only a small fraction of security leaders feel truly confident in their current data security measures. Lookout recently surveyed 100 executives to get their take on data security in the cloud.

In the early days of the Internet, a single IP address was a reliable indicator of a single user. However, today’s Internet is more complex. Shared IP addresses are now common, with users connecting via mobile IP address pools, VPNs, or behind CGNAT (Carrier Grade Network Address Translation). This makes relying on IP addresses alone a weak method to combat modern threats like automated attacks and fraudulent activity.

Azure Container Storage is a cloud-based volume management, deployment, and orchestration service built natively for containers. It integrates with Kubernetes, allowing you to dynamically and automatically provision persistent volumes to store data for stateful applications running on Kubernetes clusters.
