Today organizations have a large part of their environment outside of their control. They have authentication, email, data, code—some organizations have the majority of their most important assets in cloud and SaaS applications. And yet the security team does not have effective tooling to investigate across this surface. So when a complex breach unfolds, an organization can find themselves scrambling. Why? The first problem is cloud scale. The amount of telemetry that is produced daily across this surface is extraordinary. The security tooling a team would use is not appropriate for the sheer volume of data that needs to be collected. The second problem is cloud complexity. Correlating cloud data into contextual alerts and insights that teams can act on is a massive task that requires deep understanding of each environment—which leads into the third problem: Most teams lack cloud expertise—and the DevOps teams they often turn to for cloud knowledge lack security expertise. Nobody is holding all the cards when it comes to detecting, investigating and responding to threats. We have spent years building a comprehensive solution that addresses the challenges facing modern SOC teams and the transforming enterprises they're tasked with securing. It distills our knowledge to elevate their cloud security capacity and capabilities. So the now SecOps can have broad visibility across clouds and SaaS—because our solution harvests all the needed telemetry and stores it for years for a minimal cost. When an incident happens, they can easily answer the questions that are fundamental to a modern organization’s security and resilience: Did anyone get in? Where did they go? What did they do while inside? What did they take? —because our Cloud Attack Scenario Library filled with the latest intelligence to root out cloud and SaaS threats. And they'll possess the speed of Mitiga's automation—to dramatically accelerate detection, investigation and response—minimizing impact. With Mitiga, the SOC is well equipped to deal with cloud threats. Learn more about Mitiga: https://itspm.ag/mitiga-5zz Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.

Aembit is the first Workload Identity and Access Management Platform. It discovers, enforces, and audits workload access. By using native identities and short-lived credentials, we eliminate the need for secrets scanning and credential rotation. We let your teams focus on building your software, without worrying about sharing API keys or misusing vaults. An Aembit access policy enforces authorized access in three steps: First, Aembit cryptographically verifies workload identity, and validates access rights. This works for the most complex environments like an AWS serverless app accessing Snowflake or Salesforce. Second, Aembit implements workload Zero Trust by adding conditional access. For example, Aembit can check CrowdStrike or Wiz posture assessment before authorizing access. Finally, Aembit issues access credentials. Aembit automatically injects short-lived credentials into requests with no burdensome code changes required by the dev team. The benefits of using Aembit include significant time savings and reduced complexity. This allows engineering teams to move faster in building software and APIs that help companies automate more and build great products. From a security standpoint, Aembit also mitigates a growing attack surface (workload credential compromise) by allowing companies to go secretless using short-lived dynamic access credentials, as opposed to long lived tokens. There's no more credential reuse across multiple workloads. They can also enable Zero Trust conditional access for workload access. If the workload isn't being actively managed by their cloud security tool, it shouldn't get access. And with Aembit, they now have a highly compliant automated system of record to keep track of every workload requesting access, which is huge for audit and compliance requirements.

Sometimes organizations know they need to do something to improve their cybersecurity posture … or, in some cases, something more, something different. They know there is a disconnect between cybersecurity and the business — they just don’t know how to get started or transition to get the best results, given their unique environments and operating processes. What’s truly innovative about RockCyber’s cybersecurity assessments is how they intertwine cybersecurity strategies directly with business alignment and outcomes. This is not just about securing IT assets; it's about shaping cybersecurity as a strategic advantage that supports overall business goals. The service is tailored for organizations that need a cybersecurity approach that is not only robust but also aligned with their business objectives, enhancing both security and business performance. This approach solves the key problem of the disconnect between cybersecurity practices and business objectives, which many companies struggle with. The RockCyber vCISO and cybersecurity assessment services are particularly valuable for organizations where security must be a driver of cyber resiliency and growth, not just a protective measure. Let’s talk about how this changes the future for our customers. Traditionally, cybersecurity has often been a siloed IT function, reactive and disconnected from core business functions. RockCyber’s assessments transform this by integrating cybersecurity with business strategy, making it a cornerstone of business planning and execution. Imagine a before scenario where a company's cybersecurity efforts are technically adequate but not aligned with the strategic business initiatives, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities. After a RockCyber assessment, this company strengthens its security and aligns its cybersecurity strategy with business objectives, ensuring that every security investment directly supports business growth and resilience. With the assessment in place, RockCyber clients typically lean in on the virtual CISO services where the RockCyber team can take the knowledge we have in the field — both figuratively and literally — to establish a strategy that will begin the process of maturity and lead the organization down a path of cyber sustainability. For example, with one recent oil and gas client, the cybersecurity program the RockCyber created not only reduces cyber risk and improves the ability of the organization to handle and manage a potential cyber incident, but it aligns directly with the organization’s key objectives: To achieve this, the team at RockCyber kept the big business picture in mind while focusing on breaking down the problem into smaller projects that be accomplished successfully, building on the past to continue to improve the future. The RockCyber cybersecurity assessment and vCISO services provide the following benefits: Rock invites you all to connect with him via LinkedIn where you can find some of his musings on this topic and so many more.

When you are only looking for malicious indicators, you will NEVER get security teams in control of the rapidly evolving threats to their organizations. When Brooke Motta's co-founder, Jimmy Mesta, was a security architect, and consulting companies on Kubernetes security at the very start of containerization, he witnessed a paradigm shift to defining your environment in a declarative way, through code. He decided to apply this paradigm shift toward a positive security model. To this end, RAD Security was born. RAD Security creates fingerprints of known good behavior and notifies on drift from that behavior. RAD Security have built fingerprints for cloud native workloads, identities, and infrastructure to detect attacks through meaningful drift that signifies attacker behavior. RAD Security have also built a real-time posture model that can accept the data from our drift engine, so teams can constantly refine their shift-left efforts with the best data possible.
