Discovering security threats is good and well. But, in many cases, simply knowing that a threat may exist is not enough. Instead, you also need threat intelligence enrichment. Threat enrichment plays a critical role in helping to evaluate and contextualize threats, root out false positives and gain the insights necessary to mitigate risks as efficiently and quickly as possible.
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a law that was signed on June 28, 2018, that established and promoted the consumer privacy rights and business obligations concerning the collection and sales of personal information of citizens of California. The CCPA came into effect on January 1st, 2020. Soon after in November 2020, Proposition 24, known as the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA) was introduced which is soon to replace the CCPA Compliance.
Privileged access management (PAM) uses cybersecurity strategies, tools, and technologies to control access permissions for users and systems across an IT environment. The goal is to hone in on privileged access controls to mitigate the risks of a cyberattack. According to the 2021 Privileged Access Management Solutions Market Offering, the global PAM solutions market size was valued at $2.47 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $19.73 billion by 2030.
The increase in attack sophistication coupled with the decline of skilled security staff continues to put pressure on organizations and their teams by minimizing their ability to effectively see and control risks within the enterprise. This is only made more difficult as teams find themselves patching together disparate solutions, resulting in labyrinthian security stacks and a heavily siloed environment.
Cloud-based services are augmenting business operations and being adopted at a record pace. In fact, Gartner® estimates “more than 85% of organizations will embrace a cloud-first principle by 2025 and will not be able to fully execute on their digital strategies without the use of cloud-native architectures and technologies.”
This is the second part of a three-blog series on startup security. Please check out part one too. The anatomy of a software vulnerability is a bit like mercury accumulation in seafood. Trace amounts of naturally occurring mercury in seawater is absorbed by algae and bioaccumulates up the food chain. Large fish at the top of the food chain contain the most mercury and should be consumed in limited quantities.
If your GitOps deployment model has security issues (for example, a misconfigured permission because of a typo), this will be propagated until it is hopefully discovered at runtime, where most of the security events are scanned or found. What if you can fix potential security issues in your infrastructure at the source? Let’s start with the basics.
With the constant threat of malware weighing on cloud teams, AWS is introducing new ways to identify malicious software with Amazon GuardDuty. Amazon GuardDuty Malware Protection, a fully managed malware detection service launched today at Re:inforce by AWS, provides agentless scanning to identify when suspicious activity occurs.
For our latest specialist interview in our series speaking to security leaders from around the world, we’ve welcomed Tony Giles, Lead Auditor and CMMC Provisional Assessor with the NSF. Tony has conducted audits globally for over 10 years and worked on large-scale security implementation projects, including NIST 800-171, NIST 800-88 and ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 28000.
A couple of days ago, I was checking my Twitter feed and saw a tweet from someone saying how frustrated he was that DockerHub (a renowned container registry) was down. Someone else replied to the tweet, recommending the tweet’s author to check out Google’s repository, where they have DockerHub mirrors in Google Cloud.
