Adopting a DevSecOps Culture in Your Organization
Security has long been seen as a roadblock for developers, leading to friction between development and security teams. Developers want to ship features fast, while security teams aim to prevent vulnerabilities. The result? Misalignment, bottlenecks, and a growing backlog of security issues. A DevSecOps culture bridges this gap by integrating security into every stage of […]
Cortex Cloud: Redefining Cloud Security for a Real-Time World
The world of cloud security is always changing. Every day, new AI-driven innovations help companies build and scale their cloud infrastructure faster than ever. Businesses are embracing the cloud for speed, efficiency, and flexibility—but with great power comes great responsibility. As cloud environments expand, so do the risks that come with them. Cyber threats have […]
Codefinger Ransomware: A New Threat to S3 Buckets
The overwhelming fact about the cloud is that new threats rise at an alarming rate, which brings us to our current challenge, the “Codefinger ransomware attack”. This brings to light a growing concern: the increasing vulnerability of cloud-based data. The above being said, for those organizations relying on Amazon S3 for data storage, the rise […]
Implementing Multifactor Authentication (MFA) to Protect Data and Sensitive Information
Why Stronger Authentication is Essential “Treat your passwords like your toothbrush. Don’t let anyone else use it and get a new one every six months.” — Clifford Stoll, American astronomer and author Passwords have long been a critical layer in the security architecture of digital systems. However, relying solely on passwords has become increasingly risky. […]
Identity Lifecycle Management: Best Practices for Securing Joiners, Movers, and Leavers
Effectively safeguarding your organization’s assets, resources, and data starts with securing identities and managing authorizations. However, identity management isn’t a one-time task—it’s a continuous process that must adapt as identities, roles, and risk factors evolve over time. In this blog, we’ll unpack the concept of Identity Lifecycle Management (ILM) and explore best practices to ensure […]
Introduction to Dynamic Privileged Access (DPA)
In today’s security landscape, managing privileged access effectively is paramount to reducing cyber risks. Traditional privileged access methods, which grant standing privileges for prolonged periods, pose a significant threat to organizations, as they can lead to unauthorized access and data breaches. To tackle this issue, CyberArk offers a robust solution — Dynamic Privileged Access (DPA) […]
Preventing Serverless Function Injection Attacks with Prisma Cloud
Serverless functions, such as AWS Lambda, offer unparalleled scalability and cost efficiency. However, their lightweight, ephemeral nature makes them vulnerable to unique security threats, including injection attacks. Let’s explore how Prisma Cloud fortifies your serverless environments and protects against these risks. Understanding Injection Attacks in Serverless Functions Injection attacks occur when malicious inputs trick an […]
Integrating Vulnerability Management into Your Security Lifecycle
In today’s digital landscape, organizations face an ever-evolving array of security threats. As businesses rely increasingly on cloud environments, microservices, and interconnected systems, vulnerabilities in these systems can expose them to significant risks. Vulnerability management, the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating vulnerabilities, has therefore become a critical component of any robust security lifecycle. This […]
Decoding ZSP: Separating Fact from Fiction
The Privileged Access Management (PAM) market has seen a wave of new entrants, each boasting that their technology can achieve the elusive goal of Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP). These claims paint an enticing picture, but most vendors overlook one critical detail: ZSP, while essential, is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Yes, ZSP is a fundamental building […]
Defending Against Supply Chain Attacks in CI/CD Pipelines with Prisma Cloud
Introduction As continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) practices evolve, supply chain attacks have become a major concern in software development. CI/CD pipelines streamline software delivery, but if not properly secured, they can become vulnerable entry points in the software supply chain. In this blog, we’ll explore how Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks offers robust […]
