As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more and more prevalent in society, it is also making its way into the world of cyber security. AI can be used in a number of ways to help improve cyber security, including by automatically detecting and responding to threats, improving network efficiency, and helping to identify vulnerabilities. In this blog post, we will discuss some of the ways that AI is changing cyber security and how it can help your business stay safe online.

Social media is both a boon and a bane. While it has connected billions of people, made them more accessible, and created more possibilities for the end-users. There's no doubt that it has also made them more susceptible to security threats and vulnerabilities. According to We Are Social, there are around 4.62 billion active social media users worldwide. This is precisely the very reason why cyber criminals love social media as well.

In a Kubernetes cluster, Control Plane controls Nodes, Nodes control Pods, Pods control containers, and containers control applications. But what controls the Control Plane? Kubernetes exposes APIs that let you configure the entire Kubernetes cluster management lifecycle. Thus, securing access to the Kubernetes API is one of the most security-sensitive aspects to consider when considering Kubernetes security.

One of the selling points of cloud computing is the ability to quickly spin up new machines as needed. Unfortunately, this means that cloud environments grow very complex, very quickly – and manually updating configuration files to add new instances gets really old, really fast. It’s easy to make a mistake, which inhibits productivity and causes security issues, especially when accessing machines remotely.

Four high-severity vulnerabilities have been exposed to the framework used by pre-installed Android system apps with millions of downloads. Fixed by Israeli developer MCE Systems, this issue could allow an attacker to launch remote and local attacks or be used as a vector to exploit extensive system privileges to obtain sensitive information. Here’s what Microsoft 365 Defender Research Team had to say about it.

Either through human error or intentionally, configuration changes in the cloud may suddenly increase your attack surface. AWS Route 53 is an example of a service that needs to be continuously tracked for risky changes. As the first line of defense of our cloud, it is necessary to secure Amazon Route 53 and monitor risky configuration changes to avoid unwanted surprises. As you probably know, AWS Route 53 is of course a very popular DNS service offered by AWS, with millions of top-level domains.

Cloud technology is a booming sector in today’s digital world. The business environment is trying to make the most of it from cloud-based platforms. With pandemics striking the globe, cloud applications have come to rescue business operations from remote locations. It improves connectivity and accessibility irrespective of the location. However, every technology has its advantages as well as disadvantages.
