AWS egress fees and data transfer costs explained for MSPs and cloud providers

AWS has become a default infrastructure platform for many organizations. It offers scale, flexibility and a broad service portfolio. However, for managed service providers (MSPs) and cloud providers, AWS pricing can be difficult to explain, forecast and package profitably. One of the most important cost factors is AWS data transfer cost. Internet egress, or data leaving AWS for the public internet, is the most familiar example.

Protect AWS Strands Agents with Datadog AI Guard

AI agents can reason through tasks, call tools, and adapt their next steps based on intermediate results. That flexibility is useful for building agentic applications, but it also creates security risk at runtime: A prompt injection attempt can change the agent’s instructions, a malicious request can try to exfiltrate sensitive data, and an unsafe tool call can lead to an action that the application owner did not intend.

Protecting Sensitive Documents from Digital Threats

In our increasingly digital lives, we handle a vast number of documents, from personal financial statements and contracts to sensitive business reports.

Protecting these files from digital threats isn't just an IT department's problem; it's a personal responsibility for anyone creating, sharing, or storing information.

How I Chose a CIEM Tool: My Practical Review of Cloud Access Governance Platforms

Choosing a CIEM tool sounds simple until you actually start doing it.

5 Essential Cybersecurity Defenses for Cloud Email Security

Cloud email has become the center of modern business. Regardless of your organization's industry or size, email connects employees, customers, vendors, executives, financial systems and critical business processes.

Once inside, they may be able to steal information, impersonate employees, redirect payments, spread malware or gain access to other systems.

IaaS for MSPs: A practical guide to building profitable cloud services

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is becoming a bigger opportunity for managed service providers (MSPs), cloud service providers (CSPs), hosters and telecommunications providers. Clients still need compute, storage and networking. But many are rethinking where those workloads should run.
