How SD-WAN Enables Cloud Security

This episode is sponsored by Intel®.

Discover how the 4th Gen Intel Xeon Processor is revolutionizing enterprise security with advanced threat protection, cloud security, and hardware security. Learn how to improve your IT infrastructure and protect your organization from cyber threats with this powerful solution.

To learn more about how Intel solves enterprise security challenges, I had a conversation with Brian Richardson, who is the Security Marketing Lead for Intel Data Center & AI (DCAI) Marketing Product Strategy.


The key takeaways of the conversation are as follows:

• The main challenges that enterprises face in securing their infrastructure are the increasing number of cyberattacks, increasing regulation, and increased security spending. The traditional software approach to cyber security is no longer enough to stop attacks, which are becoming increasingly more sophisticated.
• Confidential computing is a newer approach to protect data when it is in use, not just at rest or in transit, which is being focused on by Intel and the industry.
• The fourth-generation Intel Scalable Processor addresses enterprise security needs by using technology, such as Intel SGX or Software Guard Extensions, to protect data in use.

Solving Enterprise Security Challenges

Audio version of Greylock investor Jason Risch's essay "Three Trends in VC-Backed Cloud." As part of our Castles in the Cloud project, which maps the activity in the venture capital-funding startup ecosystem with that of the Big 3 Cloud providers, we compile a database of fundraising at the end of each calendar year and identify trends. Although 2022 and the first part of 2023 has been marked by notable advancements in cloud technology – mostly via AI integrations – there is still considerable restraint in today’s venture capital-backed ecosystem. That figure doesn’t translate to lower activity, however. Many venture capital firms report they are just as busy as prior to the market correction, albeit with a focus on smaller checks for early-stage companies. Technological advancements, partnerships between major powerbrokers, and vertical specialization are all components of the current wave. The top three trends for this period are the rise of AI/ML in cloud, Vertical specialization (or, industry clouds), and security.

Lessons Learned From the CrowdStrike Incident: InfoQ Dev Summit Munich 2024 Preview

O gerenciamento de identidades, que historicamente era visto como um problema de TI, costumava se concentrar na facilidade e na velocidade de concessão de acesso. Essa estratégia levou a uma enorme onda de permissões desnecessárias, medidas de autenticação mal configuradas e usuários com privilégios excessivos. Somado a esse histórico, hoje as empresas precisam lidar com o aumento do cibercrime, a expansão da superfície de ataque e novas ameaças impulsionadas por IA. 

Então como resolver a gestão de acesso e identidade? Este RedCast é sobre esse assunto, com a participação de Fabricio Ferrinho, coordenador de Segurança da Informação na LiderCaps, e Galeno Garbe, ex-consultor do Gartner e CISO.

Episódio #73 | Gestão de identidade: os desafios de controle no dia a dia corporativo

Organizations increasingly leverage Amazon Bedrock to power their Generative AI (GenAI) applications.  Amazon Bedrock provides access to several Foundation Models (FMs) supplied by leading AI companies, including A121 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Mistral AI, Stability AI, and Amazon. Bedrock employs several AI techniques, e.g., fine-tuning and RAG, to empower organizations to build innovative GenAI applications without undergoing rigorous AI processes. Furthermore, Bedrock is serverless, relieving users of infrastructure orchestration and maintenance. However, a firm understanding of the shared responsibility model and its peculiar application to Bedrock is imperative for maintaining a healthy cloud security posture. The risks Bedrock introduces using AWS S3 in the Knowledge Base for the Bedrock component are central to this understanding. This critical Bedrock component manages data retrieval and processing amongst the core Amazon Bedrock components. The vital role played by S3 as a data source is Bedrock's Achilles heel; it introduces several attack vectors, including data poisoning, denial of service, data breach, and S3 ransomware. This blog post delves into these attack vectors, foreseeable impact, detection opportunities, and mitigations.

Bedrock or Bedsand: Attacking Amazon Bedrock’s Achilles Heel

In today’s digital age, businesses of all sizes rely heavily on cloud computing. With this reliance comes the pressing need for enhanced cloud security. While cloud security platforms are primarily known for safeguarding data from cyber threats, they also play a significant role in improving operational efficiency. These platforms automate key tasks, reduce manual processes, streamline compliance, and help businesses allocate resources effectively, leading to smoother operations and cost savings. In this blog post, we’ll dive deep into how cloud security platforms help businesses become more efficient while ensuring their data remains secure.

How Cloud Security Platforms Boost Operational Efficiency

With over two decades of experience in the cybersecurity domain, Chad Lorenc stands as a prominent voice in cloud security and enterprise security strategy. Currently serving as a security leader at Amazon Web Services (AWS), Chad has contributed significantly to advancing cloud architecture best practices and building robust security frameworks for some of the world’s most dynamic organizations. In this insightful Kitecast episode, Chad shares his expertise on cloud security, the evolving role of CISOs, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into enterprise security strategies.

Evolution of Cloud Security: From Apprehension to Opportunity

In the early days of cloud adoption, organizations often hesitated to migrate their operations due to concerns over security and control. Chad reflects on this initial apprehension and explains how the cloud security paradigm has matured over the years. Many companies attempted to replicate on-premises security models in the cloud, often facing challenges with patching, incident management, and compliance. Cloud environments require unique security approaches, with a focus on building specific controls and aligning them with broader security operations and compliance requirements.

CISOs: Leading the Charge in Cloud and AI Adoption

A recurring theme in the podcast is the critical role of CISOs in driving cloud and AI strategies. Chad offers valuable advice to CISOs, encouraging them to lead cloud adoption initiatives rather than being pulled into projects at the last minute. He highlights the tangible security benefits of cloud environments, such as the ease of implementing encryption and other advanced security controls. By taking a proactive approach, CISOs can not only enhance security but also achieve cost savings and operational efficiencies.

Embracing AI and Navigating Regulatory Challenges

As organizations increasingly integrate AI into their operations, compliance and security become critical considerations. Chad discusses how the shift to data lakes and the acceleration of AI adoption have transformed cloud security conversations from traditional security measures to compliance and audit readiness. The conversation also touches on the complexities of shadow AI—where unsanctioned AI tools are used within companies—and how security leaders can address these challenges by aligning internal strategies with business demands. In addition, Chad sheds light on the regulatory landscape, including the growing importance of FedRAMP compliance for federal clients and the balance between rapid cloud innovation and regulatory adherence.

Charting the Future of Cloud Security with Chad Lorenc

The podcast concludes with Chad’s forward-looking perspective on the evolving cybersecurity landscape. He believes that while AI remains a dominant topic, true innovation lies in optimizing security operations and embracing technologies that drive business outcomes. Chad sees an emerging trend where CISOs are not only security experts but also strategic business leaders who contribute to overall organizational success. His parting advice to security professionals is clear: embrace new technologies like AI and cloud solutions with a strategic mindset to remain relevant and impactful.
