Everything AppSec Scoop has reported about cloud security: 8 stories, newest first. Part of our Cloud Security coverage.
Cloud patch management differs from traditional IT because you cannot simply reboot servers; you must replace immutable infrastructure components while maintaining continuous service availability.
Security researchers report that AWS AgentCore vulnerabilities allow attackers to steal tokens and escalate privileges through misconfigured settings.
Security groups enforce stateful rules at the instance level, creating a hidden complexity that often obscures the true attack surface of your cloud infrastructure.
CNAPP consolidates tooling but obscures the trade-off between broad coverage and the deep, granular control offered by specialised CSPM solutions.
Overprivileged identities hide in plain sight, granting silent access to resources they never touch until an attacker exploits the gap.
Multi-factor authentication stops credential theft but introduces latency that can disrupt automated infrastructure management pipelines.
Cloud penetration testing reveals how attackers exploit permission boundaries rather than just firewalls, exposing gaps in identity management that traditional scans miss.
Detect subtle infrastructure anomalies and silent API calls that indicate compromised credentials before data exfiltration completes.
