Cloud environments comprise hundreds of thousands of individual components, from infrastructure-level containers and hosts to access-level user and cloud accounts. With this level of complexity, it’s important to establish and maintain end-to-end visibility into your environment for many reasons—not least among them to efficiently identify, prioritize, and mitigate security threats.
As organizations increasingly adopt continuous delivery practices and deploy code as often as every few seconds, the number of vulnerabilities in your code and the potential for them to go undetected increases. Not knowing which vulnerabilities to focus on can be extremely costly—both in terms of the resources needed to address them as well as the risk they pose for your system.
As organizations increase the size of their cloud footprint and the complexity of their applications, they face challenges securing their infrastructure and services. Security breaches often go undetected for months, giving attackers time to do extensive harm. Once organizations become aware of a breach, they may no longer have access to the logs that comprise a complete history of the attack, because the time span easily exceeds their log retention window.
1Password is a password manager that helps organizations reduce the use of weak and reused credentials across their teams. Because your organization uses 1Password to store highly sensitive information, including passwords, access keys, and secret tokens, monitoring logs generated by activity in your 1Password environment can be useful, as unexpected patterns of behavior could indicate malicious activity by attackers.
Cloudflare’s SASE is a zero trust network-as-a-service platform that dynamically connects users to enterprise resources, with identity-based security controls delivered close to users, wherever they are. Cloudflare spans more than 300 cities in over 100 countries, resulting in latencies under 50 milliseconds for 95 percent of the internet-connected population globally.
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.
Software today relies heavily on open source, third-party components, but these reusable dependencies sometimes inadvertently introduce security vulnerabilities into the code of developers who use them. Some of the most serious vulnerabilities discovered in recent years—like the OpenSSL punycode vulnerability, Log4Shell (Log4j), and Dirty Pipe (Linux)—reside in popular open source packages, making them so widespread that they could compromise almost the entire software ecosystem.
