Software as a Service (SaaS) has quickly become popular and has changed the way businesses work by making them more scalable, flexible, and efficient. Cloud-based apps are convenient, but they also come with the duty of keeping them safe from cyber threats. As more businesses move private data to the cloud, security for SaaS has become very important. This is because the data is vulnerable to risks like cyberattacks, data breaches, and unauthorized access.

Adversaries’ persistent efforts to evade advancements in threat awareness and defense have shaped a cyber threat landscape dominated by their stealthy, fast-moving tactics. As they expand into the cloud environments where most organizations now operate, the need to hunt and remediate threats has become crucial.

The advent and widespread acceptance of Large Language Models (LLMs), such as Microsoft Copilot, by organizations and even average consumers has created another surface threat area that cybersecurity teams must come to understand. To help with this process, Trustwave SpiderLabs conducted a Red Team exercise against a licensed version of Microsoft Copilot.

Legacy attack surfaces were small and simple. There were fewer servers and endpoints to protect. The tooling required to secure it was basic – perimeter firewalls, antivirus software, and server/network/application monitoring tools. When organizations migrate to the cloud, things change and become complex. For starters, on-premise infrastructure and applications can’t be left out in favor of the cloud. Most organizations run hybrid setups.

Envoy has carved out a critical role in cloud-native computing, becoming increasingly prevalent as the default ingress controller for Kubernetes. This high-performance proxy, developed by Lyft and now part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s arsenal, is integral for companies scaling up their Kubernetes deployments. Envoy ensures efficient load balancing, security, and operational agility by managing external access to services within Kubernetes clusters,.

By James Rees, MD, Razorthorn Security In the rapidly evolving world of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs), have become buzzwords that seem to promise revolutionary solutions. However, as with any emerging technology, it’s crucial to separate hype from reality.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) safeguards patient data. Hospitals, clinics, insurance providers, and other healthcare facilities must adhere to these stringent rules. De-identification enables healthcare data to be used in meaningful research. It enables data to be analyzed to provide improved healthcare. It does this without violating personal privacy. This balance is critical to fuel innovation and ethically manage data.

Privilege Access Management (PAM) controls access to privileged accounts, a key step in securing sensitive data and systems. Discover what PAM is, why you need it, and how to implement it effectively.
