What happens when devices meant to make your life easier become tools for intrusion? Your smart TV could become a surveillance device, your fitness tracker could leak your health data, and your connected car could be remotely hijacked. In the world of IoT vulnerabilities, the technology designed to serve you could turn against you. The Internet of Things promises convenience and connectivity. The risks of cyberattacks targeting these devices are growing exponentially.

In our latest report, Snyk surveyed security and software development technologists, from top management to application developers, on how their companies had prepared for and adopted generative AI coding tools. While organizations felt ready and believed AI coding tools and AI-generated code were safe, they failed to undertake some basic steps for secure adoption. And within the ranks, those close to the code have greater doubts about AI safety than those higher up in management.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, the fusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity is creating both exciting opportunities and formidable challenges. The recent breakfast briefing on the historic HMS Belfast served as a critical forum for industry leaders to explore these issues in depth.

Penetration testing is a cornerstone of any mature security program and is a mature and well understood practice supported by robust methodologies, tools, and frameworks. The tactical goals of these engagements typically revolve around identification and exploitation of vulnerabilities in technology, processes, and people to gain initial, elevated, and administrative access to the target environment.

AWS WAF is a managed web application firewall that monitors network traffic to your AWS applications and resources. As a perimeter-based firewall, AWS WAF is designed to secure the boundaries between your applications and the public internet. This means that it’s capable of protecting all of the various elements of your AWS architecture, including Amazon API Gateways, load balancers, and Amazon CloudFront distributions.

In Part 1 of this series, we looked at how AWS WAF helps you monitor network traffic to AWS resources, as well as key metrics and logs for detecting WAF misconfigurations and malicious activity. In this post, we’ll walk through using AWS’s native tooling to query that data.

In Part 2 of this series, we looked at Amazon’s built-in monitoring services for AWS WAF activity and audit logs. In this post, we’ll demonstrate how Datadog complements your WAF’s existing protection and extends its capabilities to not only offer protection at the perimeter but also to the APIs and services within your network.

It’s a familiar post-disaster scene in seemingly every television medical drama. A ferry has crashed, or a train has derailed. Patients flood into the ER, each requiring urgent medical attention. The impossibly attractive medical staff must quickly assess and prioritize patients based on the severity of their injuries and the likelihood of survival. Someone with great hair likely says an inspiring quote and jumps immediately into action.
