Cloud Security

Check Point Software has announced that its Cloud Firewall offering is now available on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, as the cybersecurity giant becomes an official partner for Amazon's new independent European cloud infrastructure. The move is designed to help European organisations meet increasingly stringent data residency and operational autonomy requirements under EU regulatory frameworks, without sacrificing the performance and security capabilities they rely on from AWS. The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is a fully...

The top account takeover (ATO) protection tools in 2026 include Memcyco, Arkose Labs, SpyCloud, BioCatch, and Proofpoint, each addressing different stages of account takeover attacks such as phishing, credential stuffing, and session hijacking. ATO protection refers to the set of tools and strategies used to prevent unauthorised account access across pre-login, login, and post-login stages. Used by organisations to prevent attackers from using stolen credentials to access user accounts, modern ATO protection tools are designed...

Modern applications aren't built from scratch. They’re assembled. When you look at most typical enterprise codebases, you’ll see that they contain a large proportion of open source elements, many of which are pulled from public repositories and bolted together with their own proprietary logic.  From a development perspective, this approach makes a lot of sense. Why spend months writing out your own authentication libraries or data parsing various functions when you can just plug and...

Bring your own device (BYOD) programs are no longer a niche policy reserved for a few departments. Today, nearly every organisation allows team members to use their personal hardware for work purposes. However, sweeping adoption has resulted in a tricky security reality. Verizon’s 2025 Mobile Security Index found that 70% of mobile devices impacted by cyber attacks are personal rather than corporate-issued, which means the riskiest endpoints are often the ones that the business doesn’t...

Aligning security policies with industry regulations is essential for robust cybersecurity. Strategic vendor partnerships play a crucial role in achieving this alignment and enhancing your organisation's overall security posture. Effective collaboration with vendors bridges compliance gaps and fortifies defenses against potential threats. In an era where cyber threats continuously evolve, forming strategic partnerships with vendors becomes paramount. These partnerships are not merely transactional but are collaborative efforts aimed at strengthening cybersecurity frameworks. By engaging with...

As cyber threats continue to grow more advanced, the need to secure critical infrastructure has never been more urgent. From manufacturing floors to hospital networks and public transportation systems, essential services face relentless pressure from increasingly sophisticated ransomware attacks, including those backed by nation-states. For cybersecurity expert Vinay Adavi, this is a personal mission as much as a professional challenge. Closing The Security Gap Vinay Adavi brings over 20 years of hands-on experience building networking...

Cloud adoption continues to rise, and with it comes increased complexity. Organizations use multiple cloud platforms, creating challenges that traditional security tools struggle to handle. Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs) have emerged as vital solutions. CNAPPs offer integrated security across cloud-native environments, from applications and workloads to data and infrastructure. As organizations look to optimize their cloud security posture, many are reassessing their current CNAPP solutions and evaluating newer options to address evolving business needs....

Today’s cloud environments and the traditional security tools that accompany them often fail to provide the visibility and context needed to prevent breaches. As sensitive data is increasingly moved to cloud servers, it is important to utilise applications and tools for better security. While cloud-native platforms bring agility and complexity to systems, this complexity creates risks. This is why organisations are turning to CNAPP (Cloud Native Application Protection Platform) to unify security across their cloud...

Despite DevSecOps being a well-understood priority, many teams still find themselves getting security alerts too late. Developers often feel burdened rather than empowered, and security vulnerabilities may make their way into the final stages before a release. Traditional AppSec tools, while powerful, can create miscommunication between teams, forcing developers to step outside of their familiar workflows. These misalignments between security and engineering goals often slow down productivity and can introduce unwanted risks in the development...

When you think of cloud security, you may simply be thinking of keeping information safe. However, there are many areas of responsibility when it comes to working in a cloud environment, including the securing of infrastructure, network and data features, and applications, as well as managing identities and access. However, there are also ongoing processes for security operations and governance that include risk and compliance management. Cloud security, as a result, requires collaboration. Its many...
