A new flaw in AMD's Zen 2 processors is detailed in this blog post (archive.org snapshot) today, July 24, 2023. The 'Zenbleed' flaw affects the entire Zen 2 product stack, from AMD's EPYC data center processors to the Ryzen 3000 CPUs, and can be exploited to steal sensitive data stored in the CPU, including encryption keys and login credentials.
There is no question that cybersecurity is on the brink of an AI revolution. The cloud security industry, for example, with its complexity and chronic talent shortage, has the potential to be radically impacted by AI. Yet the exact nature of this revolution remains uncertain, largely because the AI-based future of cybersecurity is still being invented, step by step.
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) play a crucial role in delivering reliable and secure IT services to organizations of all sizes and across various industries. With the rise in cyber threats, especially ransomware attacks targeting public sector organizations, the need for robust cybersecurity tools has become paramount.
As attackers get more creative in their malicious tradecraft, cloud security teams must be able to keep up with detections that provide adequate coverage against the diverse threats to their cloud environments. Threat emulation enables cloud security teams to leverage their understanding of threat actor behaviors as a feedback loop for developing cloud-based detections and validating their resilience.
A few years back, data was constrained to the on-premise infrastructure. Data management, governance, and protection were fairly uncomplicated in this enclosed environment. The emergence of cloud computing and multi-cloud infrastructures has not only introduced more complexity in data management and governance, but it has also increased security risks significantly.
Selecting an identity management solution is a critically important decision for any software organization. Identity management is a foundational component of good cloud security and can either be an enabler for scalability or a huge technical debt sink. Many organizations start with AWS by quickly throwing together their IAM infrastructure: some users, a few roles, and some policies.
