Cloud Security News this week 27 October 2021

• UK’s spy agencies have given a contract to AWS to host classified material. Their intention is to boost use of data analytics and artificial intelligence for espionage. The agreement, estimated by industry experts to be worth £500m to £1bn over the next decade. The Guardian has reported that “the contract with Amazon is likely to ignite concerns over sovereignty because the UK’s most secret data will be hosted by a single US tech company” - Quite the interesting comment and Cloud Security News would love to hear your thoughts on this
• It's also the season for Revenue announcements for Quarter 3 for our big cloud providers. Google announced this week that Google Cloud revenue jumped 45 percent to $4.99 billion in the third quarter compared to the same period last year. You can view the results here
• Microsoft also announced their Quarter 3 revenue for Intelligent Cloud  to be $17.0 billion, an increase of   31% -  You can view the results here
• Microsoft shared earlier this month that things remain “Business as usual for Azure customers despite 2.4 Tbps DDoS attack” in Europe. They reported that the attack traffic originated from approximately 70,000 sources and from multiple countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Read the full statement from Microsoft here
• The Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC) has detected nation-state activity associated with NOBELIUM. It's quite the interesting read and the full blog can be found here.
• If you use discourse, a popular open source forum software, you should make sure that you update to Discourse versions 2.7.9 or later, as a security bug has been found that affects Discourse versions 2.7.8 and earlier.

How does Edge Security fit into the future of Cloud Protection ? In this episode, we sat down with Brian McHenry, Global Head of Cloud Security Engineering at Check Point at BlackHat USA, to chat about the evolving landscape of cloud security in 2024. With cloud adoption accelerating and automation reshaping how we manage security, Brian spoke to us about the challenges that organizations face today—from misconfigurations and alert fatigue to the role of AI in application security.

We tackle the question: Is CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) still enough, or do we need to rethink our approach? Brian shares his thoughts on edge security, why misconfigurations are more dangerous than ever, and how automation can quickly turn small risks into significant threats.

Cloud Security News this week 17 November 2021

• According to a research by Trend Micro, Elastic Computing Service (ECS) instances for Alibab Cloud are becoming an increasingly common target for financially motivated hackers with cryptomining goals. This increased targeting may be due to a few unique features of Alibaba Cloud. Alibaba ECS instances come with a preinstalled security agent and provides root access/ privileged control by default. There is a detailed article attached about this here
• JupiterOne (a Cyber Asset Management Platform ) and Cisco have announced  the launch of Secure Cloud Insights, an expanded cloud security and security operations partnership designed to provide businesses with a range of cybersecurity services. This new solution is aimed at  helping Cisco customers achieve a higher level of maturity with their digital transformation and security program. CEO of Jupiter One, Erkang Zheng calls it a game changing offering - that would provide increased visibility, efficiency, and speed to security operations, with combined context from situational awareness and structural data. We would be curious to know if you think the same.
• Those familiar with Palo Alto and their core cloud-security package, Prisma may be intrigued to know that they have launched Prisma 3.0. 
• Truffle Security has released an open source hacking tools called Driftwood designed to discover leaked, paired private and public keys which may be harmful. Driftwood builds upon Truffle Hog and is available on Github. Truffle Security in their blog which is shared here. stated that With this tool they found the private keys for hundreds of Transport Layer Security certificates, and Secure Shell keys that would have allowed an attacker to compromise millions of endpoints/devices.
• The Federal government is going from a  “Cloud First” to a “Cloud Smart” strategy to leverage cloud without compromising security. They quoted that “Cloud Smart is about equipping agencies with the tools and knowledge they need to make these decisions for themselves, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.The shift will be from “buy before build” to “solve before buy,”. Under security they added that “Successfully managing cloud adoption risks requires collaboration” leaning into that shared responsibility model we hear often about with Cloud Security.

In this episode we speak to Nick Jones, an expert in offensive cloud security and Head of Research at WithSecure to expose the biggest security gaps in cloud environments and why CNAPPs and CSPMs alone are not enough often.

• How cloud pentesting differs from traditional pentesting
• Why CSPMs & CNAPPs don’t tell the full cloud security story
• The biggest cloud attack paths—identity, IAM users, and CI/CD
• Why “misconfigurations vs vulnerabilities” is the wrong debate
• How organizations should prepare for a cloud pentest

With real-world examples from red team engagements and cloud security research, Nick shares insider knowledge on how attackers target AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes environments—and what security teams can do to stop them.

In their blog post Trellix shared that  “Customers can expect Trellix’s living security platform to deliver bold innovation across the XDR market.”  - “with automation, machine learning, extensible architecture, and threat intelligence.”  You can find out more about Trellix and read their blog post here and let us know if you are excited about this merger?
• Orca Security is back in the news this week, not for their funding round or their vulnerability findings in AWS. They have made their 1st acquisition: RapidSec, an Israeli cybersecurity startup that protects web applications from client-side attacks. RapidSec’s software allows for detection of  web-application misconfigurations and deviations from best practices. Orca has indicated that it  plans to integrate these web services and API security technologies into its agentless cloud security platform. You can read more about this acquisition here.
• Cloud Security Firm Polar Security that has emerged from Stealth With $8.5 Million Seed Funding. They are a Tel Aviv, Israel-based cloud security company that aims to provide visibility into companies’ cloud data storage to allow security teams to secure the data and avoid compliance problems.

Cloud Security News this week - 15 September 2021

• Oracle Chief Technology Officer and co-founder Larry Ellison told  their investors this week that Oracle Cloud is superior to AWS when it comes to security and cost. He shared that they don't think  an application should talk to five or six separate databases referencing AWS’ database offerings and calling it a  very, very risky security architecture. If you are keen to learn more about how the cloud providers rank, Gartner released a report in July 2021 noting that over 90% of the worldwide cloud market was concentrated in just four cloud providers. Amazon Web Services and Microsoft lead the market with Alibaba and Google as the next closest competitors.
• The research team at Wiz has recently discovered four vulnerabilities in the  little-known software agent called Open Management Infrastructure (OMI) that is embedded in many popular Azure services.When customers sets up a Linux virtual machine in their cloud, the OMI agent is deployed automatically when they enable certain Azure services. Without a patch, attackers can easily exploit these four vulnerabilities to escalate root or highest privileges and remotely execute malicious code. Microsoft has issued a patch to address this during their Patch Tuesday release on 14 September 2021
• Last year at the Reinvent Conference Amazon unveiled Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) Anywhere. Last week  they announced the general availability of Amazon EKS Anywhere. It's a deployment option for Amazon EKS that enables you to easily create and operate Kubernetes clusters on premises using VMware sphere. Fully supported by AWS, Amazon EKS will enable users to  automate cluster management,  reduce support costs and provide the ability to view all their Kubernetes clusters, running anywhere.
• Tenable, best known for their IT vulnerability management, has agreed to acquire cloud-native security startup Accurics Inc. for $160 million. Accurics, founded in 2019, states that their platform self-heals cloud native infrastructure by codifying security throughout the development lifecycle. Traditionally, Tenable vulnerability management covers physical and virtual infrastructure , they made a few acquisitions in the last 2 years to extend their coverage to cloud and container in an attempt to  to provide full coverage across risk identification and mitigation.
• fwd:cloudsec hosted their cloud security conference this week in-person and streamed live. fwd:cloudsec is a non-profit, conference on cloud security. You can view the entire conference on you tube or on their website ww.fwdcloudsec.org for discussions about all the major cloud platforms, both attack and defense research, limitations of security features, the pros and cons of different security strategies. This one is definitely a must attend  for all things cloud security

Threat detection is often limited to popular cloud services, so whats happening to all the "not so popular or commonly known" cloud services in your environment? We are speaking to Suresh Vasudevan, CEO of Sysdig about challenges typically companies find with this space and what should be the approach for threat detection. If you feel you are looking at threats from all cloud services you might want to hear this episode to know you actually are.

Cloud Security News this week - 1 Sep, 2021

• Last Thursday, on the 26th of August 2021 - Microsoft warned thousands of its cloud computing customers, including some of the world's largest companies. that hackers could have the ability to read, change or even delete their main databases. This is due to a vulnerability in the Jupyter Notebook Feature in Microsoft Azure's flagship Cosmos  database. Microsoft cannot change those keys by itself, it emailed the customers Thursday telling them to create new ones.
• AWS has announced the release of AWS Backup Audit Manager a new feature that allows you to audit and report on the compliance of your data protection policies. AWS claims that it provides built-in compliance controls and allows you to customize those controls to define your data protection policies. 
• Google Cloud has recently released on demand vulnerability scanning. Google claims that this will allow checking for vulnerabilities earlier in development. This new feature checks for vulnerabilities both in locally stored container images and images stored within GCP registries.
• A $2000 bug bounty has been claimed by researcher Robert Heaton, who was able to find a  vulnerability in Bumble, a dating app which has more than 100 million users worldwide.
• By learning how Bumble's application programming interface (API) works the researchers found a way to pinpoint users' exact location, bypassing the safeguards in the app designed to prevent this.
• Lacework, a data driven security platform has released their quarterly cloud threat report. The report stated that Last year alone, cybercrime and ransomware attacks cost companies $4 billion in damages. They identified a rising demand for access to cloud accounts along with  continued increases in scanning and probing of storage buckets, databases, orchestration systems, and interactive logins.

Is having a CSPM enough for Cloud Security? At RSA Conference 2024, Ashish sat down with returning guest Jimmy Mesta, Co-Founder and CTO of RAD Security, to talk about the complexities of Kubernetes security and why sometimes traditional Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) falls short in a Kubernetes-centric world.

We speak about the significance of behavioural baselining, the limitations of signature-based detection, the role of tools like eBPF in enhancing real-time security measures and the importance of proactive security measures and the need for a paradigm shift from reactive alert-based systems to a more silent and efficient operational model.

Cloud Security News this week 8 December 2021

• If you use AWS, you may have noticed some issues with your services this week. AWS reported on Tuesday morning that they were seeing impacts to multiple APIs in the US-East 1 region. The issues were impacting their monitoring and incident response tooling impacting their ability to provide timely updates. A bit later they reported that they had identified the root cause of the issue causing service API and console issues. Root logins for consoles in all AWS regions were affected by this issue, however customers could  login to consoles other than US-EAST-1 by using an IAM role for authentication. Services impacted include: EC2, Connect, DynamoDB, Glue, Athena, Timestream, and Chime. Most of the services have now recovered and all updates can be viewed here
• Recently McAfee and FireEye announced the availability of new cloud security capabilities on Amazon Web Services (AWS) as well as integration with the Amazon Inspector vulnerability management service. According to McAfee Enterprise and FireEye, their behavior analysis and machine-learning extended detection and response (XDR) capabilities combined with Amazon Inspector promises to deliver AWS customers greater visibility and protection of cloud-based applications and data.
• The research team at LightSpin discovered that the Jupiter Notebook instance of SageMaker could reach the Notebook Instance metadata endpoint. For context, having access to the metadata endpoint and requesting access tokens from an over-permissive IAM Role is a very well known SSRF vulnerability in AWS. In this case, the research team reported their finding to AWS and this has been resolved since. You can learn more about this here
• Zscaler, an  American cloud-based information security company known for their Zscaler private and internet access and now the creators of Zero Trust Exchange platform have now announced the general availability of its new Workload Communications solution, which is part of the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange. This extends Zero Trust security to workloads and applications hosted in public cloud to eliminate attack surfaces, prevent lateral threat movement, inhibit compromise of workloads, and stop data loss. It also helps IT teams simplify multi-cloud workload connectivity by moving away from traditional IP-based routing and VPNs between cloud environments to expedite enterprises' cloud transformation initiatives. You can learn more about this here.

In this episode, Ashish spoke with Kushagra Sharma, Staff Cloud Security Engineer, to delve into the complexities of managing Identity Access Management (IAM) at scale. Drawing on his experiences from Booking.com and other high-scale environments, Kushagra shares insights into scaling IAM across thousands of AWS accounts, creating secure and developer-friendly permission boundaries, and navigating the blurred lines of the shared responsibility model.

They discuss why traditional IAM models often fail at scale and the necessity of implementing dynamic permission boundaries, baseline strategies, and Terraform-based solutions to keep up with ever-evolving cloud services. Kushagra also explains how to approach IAM in multi-cloud setups, the challenges of securing managed services, and the importance of finding a balance between security enforcement and developer autonomy.

Cloud Security News this week 12 Jan 2022

• UK’s financial regulators - The Prudential Regulation Authority is looking to increase it’s monitoring of Cloud providers like AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. According to Financial times, they are looking to gain more access to data from these cloud providers because the impact outages and cyberattacks have on British Banks. They are looking at implementing more robust outages and disaster recovery tests given the increasing reliance UK banks have on a handful of cloud providers. A lot of major British banks have partnerships with cloud providers “AWS has announced deals with Barclays and HSBC, while Lloyd Banking Group holds partnerships with Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.”. There is an increasing concerns about the impacts on the banks should these cloud providers experience outages. You can view the financial times article here
• Speaking of regulators and how they are dealing with cloud providers, a few weeks ago in December Chinese regulators have “suspended an information-sharing partnership with Alibaba Cloud Computing” over concerns that it failed to promptly report and address a cybersecurity vulnerability. According to 21st Century Business Herald, citing a recent notice by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology “Alibaba Cloud did not immediately report vulnerabilities in the popular, open-source logging framework Apache Log4j2 to China's telecommunications regulator”.This comes after, according to Reuters “The Chinese government has asked state-owned companies to migrate their data from private operators such as Alibaba and Tencent to a state-backed cloud system by next year.” From what we understand, there is no statement from Alibaba Cloud on this yet. You can read more about this here.
