Detection and Response

Agentless scanning inspects cloud environments for security risks without installing software agents on workloads, using cloud provider APIs and snapshot analysis instead

Business email compromise is a targeted cyberattack where criminals impersonate someone you trust—like your CEO, a vendor, or a business partner—to trick you into sending money or revealing confidential information.

Arbitrary code execution is when an attacker tricks your system into running their malicious code without permission. Think of it like someone breaking into your house and using your computer to do whatever they want.

A backdoor attack creates a hidden method for bypassing standard authentication or security controls in a computer system, application, or network. Think of it as a secret entrance that allows attackers to return to a compromised system whenever they want, without going through the front door.

A CISSP-aligned incident response model outlines seven common steps organizations use to detect, respond to, and recover from security incidents.

An advanced persistent threat is a sophisticated cyberattack where skilled hackers break into your network and stay hidden for months or even years

Indicators of attack (IOAs) are real-time behavioral signals that reveal active malicious activity in your cloud environment. Unlike static signatures, IOAs detect attacker techniques as they happen.

SOC threat hunting is a proactive cybersecurity practice where analysts actively search for signs of malicious activity that bypass traditional security controls.

Indicators of compromise are forensic artifacts that prove a security breach has already happened. Think of IOCs as digital fingerprints left behind at a crime scene—they're specific pieces of evidence that confirm an attacker was in your system.

Enrichment in threat intelligence is the process of adding context, metadata, and relationships to raw security data to make it actionable.

An application security engineer is a security professional who protects software applications from threats throughout the entire development process.

Vulnerability threat intelligence is the practice of combining vulnerability assessment data with real-world threat information to understand which security weaknesses actually matter.

AI data security is a specialized practice at the intersection of data protection and AI security that’s aimed at safeguarding data used in AI and machine learning (ML) systems.

Vulnerability scanning is an integral component of every vulnerability management program, providing security teams with insights needed to address vulnerabilities before they become attack vectors. When conducted regularly, vulnerability assessments offer asset discovery and visibility, attack surface management, and compliance enforcement.

Multi Cloud Security is the combination of strategies, controls, and technologies designed to address the complex challenges of a multi cloud environment.

Cloud data security is the comprehensive strategy of preventing data loss or leakage in the cloud from security threats like unauthorized access, data breaches, and insider threats.

The principle of least privilege (PoLP) is a cybersecurity concept in which users, processes, and devices are granted the minimum access and permissions necessary to perform their tasks.

In this article, we will explore the challenges of managing permissions, the risks associated with improper access controls, and how major cloud providers handle permissions. We’ll also take a look at best practices and advanced solutions like cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM).

In this blog post, we’ll explore security measures and continuous monitoring strategies to prevent these leaks, mitigating the risks posed by security vulnerabilities, human error, and attacks.

In this article, we’ll explore what cloud risk management entails and take an in-depth look at the tools that can keep your systems safe.
