This type of exfiltration incident isn't just hypothetical; it's a reality that organizations face on the daily.

The dynamic world of Kubernetes and cloud security is constantly evolving. As we explore this complicated ecosystem, it’s crucial to understand the role of policy as code (PaC) and its impact on operations and security teams. Emerging from the broader paradigm of infrastructure as code (IaC), PaC represents a significant shift in how we manage and secure cloud-native environments.

CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM enhances security operations by integrating data, AI, workflow automation and threat intelligence into a single platform with a unified console and a lightweight endpoint agent. We continue to innovate in next-gen SIEM to power SOC operations, most recently with a series of product updates announced at Fal.Con 2024. But we’re not stopping there.

One of the most interesting findings of our Netskope Threat Labs Report: Insurance 2024 was the discovery that GitHub is the most popular application in terms of malware downloads for this specific vertical, surpassing Microsoft OneDrive, which is usually the undisputed leader of this unwelcome chart.

A unique attribute of the current commercial and public sector is the convergence of warfare principles with information technology operations and security. In the realm of modern warfare, uncertainty is a constant companion. The term “fog of war,” coined by the Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz, encapsulates the chaos and unpredictability inherent in military operations.

Cybersecurity's role in geopolitics is growing more significant by the day. In a world of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, governments worldwide are recognizing the impact digital attacks can have on national security, trade, and infrastructure. This has never been more evident than with the recent introduction of the Protecting Investments in Our Ports Act by U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Gary Peters (D-MI), along with U.S.

The story of cybersecurity involves bad actors and security professionals constantly trying to thwart each other, often using newer and more advanced measures in an attempt to outdo each other. In recent years, especially, cybercriminals have evolved to include sophisticated technology and advanced tactics in their attacks.

Reliable access to financial data is critical for organizations and individual consumers alike, making resiliency key for financial institutions responsible for managing this information. While cloud computing can strengthen your app’s resiliency, it can also open up new security risks and require more complex continuity planning.

We’ve just released the 2024 State of Cloud Security study, where we analyzed the security posture of thousands of organizations using AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. In particular, we found that: In this post, we provide key recommendations based on these findings, and we explain how you can use Datadog Cloud Security Management (CSM) to improve your security posture.

Containers are transforming how enterprises deploy and use applications - their efficiency and cost-effectiveness making them a cornerstone of modern IT strategies. Compared to traditional virtualization, where the server runs a hypervisor, and then virtual machines with entire guest operating systems and software run on top of the hypervisor, containers allow more versatility since they simplify management and provide faster provisioning of applications and resources.
