Everything Patch Review has reported about cloud security: 7 stories, newest first. Part of our Cloud Security coverage.
Cloud application detection and response shifts security from static perimeter checks to continuous behavioral monitoring of runtime environments and identity flows.
Isolating compromised cloud identities stops data exfiltration faster than shutting down virtual machines or storage buckets.
Unmanaged cloud services often hide in routine email footers and unusual network traffic patterns long before security tools detect them.
Credential leakage often hides in version control history and build logs long before any unauthorized access occurs in the cloud environment.
Secure Access Service Edge merges network connectivity with security controls, eliminating the need for backhauling traffic to a central data center for inspection.
Secrets managers encrypt credentials at rest and mask them in transit, but they do not prevent an attacker who controls your application code from reading them at runtime.
Attackers exploit metadata services to steal cloud credentials, bypassing network controls by targeting the local instance rather than external endpoints.
