In all the hullabaloo about AI, it strikes me that our attention gravitates far too quickly toward the most extreme arguments for its very existence. Utopia on the one hand. Dystopia on the other. You could say that the extraordinary occupies our minds far more than the ordinary. That’s hardly surprising. “Operational improvement” doesn’t sound quite as headline-grabbing as “human displacement”. Does it?
Cyber risks for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have never been higher. SMBs face a barrage of attacks, including ransomware, malware and variations of phishing/vishing. This is one reason why the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) states “thousands of SMBs have been harmed by ransomware attacks, with small businesses three times more likely to be targeted by cybercriminals than larger companies.”
As the internet continues to evolve, cybersecurity threats—particularly Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks—are an increasingly significant concern for organizations. In this post, we’ll look at how you can use Datadog to collect Google Cloud Armor (GCA) logs and detect and respond to potential DDoS attacks in real-time. But first, we’ll briefly cover what DDoS attacks are and how they work.
For customers using Azure Key Vault—which helps them safeguard sensitive keys and secrets used by applications and services hosted on Azure—it can be challenging to determine when the resources in their Key Vault(s) are about to expire. Invalid keys and secrets can disrupt your day-to-day workflows by causing application downtime, holding up incident investigations, invalidating compliance, slowing down the development of new features, and more.
More decision-makers are investing in grid modernization efforts, knowing that doing so is necessary for keeping pace with modern demands. For example, smart grid fault-detection sensors could warn utility company providers of problems in real time, preventing costly and inconvenient outages. Technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) can also improve stability. An IoT grid-monitoring approach allows authorized parties to oversee electrical infrastructure from anywhere.
Most cloud providers use a shared security responsibility model, meaning they secure some areas of the environment but expect the customer to establish security controls in others. AWS is one of the many cloud providers that follow the concept of shared responsibility. Generally speaking, they split responsibility into two categories. AWS focuses on the security of the cloud, such as the infrastructure that runs all AWS services.
