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.

The Ongoing Challenges of DevSecOps Transformation and Improving Developer Experience

There's no reason to be scared about a pen test - especially when it's run by a professional like Brad Causey. I catch up with Brad in this episode to discuss what's recently changed in pen testing in how you test and people's motivations for hiring a pen testing. Interesting and not spooky at all.

Most teams start with the default VPC—but it lacks proper gateways, subnet isolation, and scalability. A well-structured 3-tier VPC (Public, Private, Restricted) with smart CIDR planning ensures security, scalability, and performance from day one. Avoid future tech debt by designing your cloud architecture the right way.

Power your infrastructure with DevSecCops ai — the AI DevOps platform delivering secure, scalable cloud environments with built-in security scanning solutions.
