Mind the Gap: Why your on-prem Red Team isn’t Cloud-Ready
Red teaming is a key pillar of a modern cybersecurity strategy. By emulating the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of real-world attackers, organizations can test their defenses and readiness for a potential breach. Industry data shows that a significant 74% of organizations perform red team exercises regularly. However, a critical and often underestimated challenge has […]
Fight AI-based Threats with AI-based Security
Threat actors are using AI to create better, faster and stronger attacks. AI can create a threat actor army with just a few prompts (Check out this attack detected by Anthropic) that looks for vulnerabilities across your cloud attack surface to breach your cloud. If you are not using AI to defend your cloud, you […]
From Skepticism to Confidence: How to Answer the Board’s Toughest Cybersecurity Questions
