Defragging database security in a fragmented cloud world

Security can often be distilled down to protecting data. And with microservice-driven applications, the approach to cloud database security has evolved quite dramatically. Beyond just securing data in the cloud, it’s now also difficult to know where the data resides, where the data is flowing, and how this data should be classified.

Integration Exploration: Getting Started with Falcon LogScale and Bucket Storage on AWS S3

If you run CrowdStrike Falcon® LogScale, previously known as Humio, locally or on-premises, one of your first steps is to configure local storage so that LogScale has a persistent data store where it can send logs. If you’re running LogScale as a cluster setup, then you’ll have some data replication as a function of how LogScale manages the data. However, even with that replication, you’ll probably still want something outside of your local infrastructure for resiliency.
