In today's digital landscape, where data breaches and security threats are a constant concern, ensuring least privilege access is of utmost importance for companies operating in the cloud. Granting the principle of least privilege to employees helps minimize the risk of unauthorized access, accidental misuse, and insider threats. However, achieving and maintaining least privilege access can be challenging, often resulting in manual processes, delays, and potential security gaps.

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the de facto inter-domain routing protocol used on the Internet. It enables networks and organizations to exchange reachability information for blocks of IP addresses (IP prefixes) among each other, thus allowing routers across the Internet to forward traffic to its destination. BGP was designed with the assumption that networks do not intentionally propagate falsified information, but unfortunately that’s not a valid assumption on today’s Internet.

There is no question that cybersecurity is on the brink of an AI revolution. The cloud security industry, for example, with its complexity and chronic talent shortage, has the potential to be radically impacted by AI. Yet the exact nature of this revolution remains uncertain, largely because the AI-based future of cybersecurity is still being invented, step by step.

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) play a crucial role in delivering reliable and secure IT services to organizations of all sizes and across various industries. With the rise in cyber threats, especially ransomware attacks targeting public sector organizations, the need for robust cybersecurity tools has become paramount.

As attackers get more creative in their malicious tradecraft, cloud security teams must be able to keep up with detections that provide adequate coverage against the diverse threats to their cloud environments. Threat emulation enables cloud security teams to leverage their understanding of threat actor behaviors as a feedback loop for developing cloud-based detections and validating their resilience.

A new flaw in AMD's Zen 2 processors is detailed in this blog post (archive.org snapshot) today, July 24, 2023. The 'Zenbleed' flaw affects the entire Zen 2 product stack, from AMD's EPYC data center processors to the Ryzen 3000 CPUs, and can be exploited to steal sensitive data stored in the CPU, including encryption keys and login credentials.
