Executive Summary This article outlines the mechanics and security implications of serverless authentication across major cloud platforms. Attackers target serverless functions in the hope of exploiting vulnerabilities that arise as a result of application developers deploying insecure code and misconfiguring cloud functions. Successful exploits of these weaknesses enable attackers to obtain credentials that can then be abused. Serverless computing functions are often associated with cloud identities that use authentication tokens to gain temporary, scoped access to cloud services and resources. Exfiltrating these tokens can expose cloud environments to security risks. Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda, Azure Functions and Google Cloud…
Aviatrix today committed to building a security fabric that because it will run natively in cloud computing environments will enable cybersecurity teams to streamline workflows in a way that also promises to reduce total costs. The post Aviatrix to Build Security Fabric to Secure Cloud Computing Environments appeared first on Security Boulevard.
Leading global application security provider Black Duck has reinforced its commitment to the Saudi Arabian market with the introduction of the Black Duck Polaris® Platform as the first application security software as a service (SaaS) platform hosted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Polaris is purpose-built to help enterprises streamline and strengthen their application security programmes by unifying multiple advanced Black Duck analysis engines into a single, cohesive platform.

IBM unveiled Power11 today, a new generation of Power servers built to improve performance across processing, hardware, and virtualization. It’s designed to run reliably both on-site and in IBM’s hybrid cloud. Enterprises in banking, healthcare, retail and government depend on Power systems for mission-critical workloads. As AI becomes central, these firms face pressure to deploy more applications. IDC projects one billion new “logical apps” by 2028. IBM Power11 aims to handle that growth with uptime, security and automation. Key highlights Ultra-high uptime: Power11 promises 99.9999% availability and zero planned downtime, letting maintenance happen without taking systems offline. Fast ransomware detection:…
Grok maker xAI quietly updated its chatbot to assume all media is biased, relying on X, a platform known for misinformation.
As a developer working with machine learning models, you likely spend hours writing scripts and adjusting hyperparameters. But when it comes to sharing your work or letting others interact with your models, the gap between a Python script and a usable web app can feel enormous. Gradio is an open source Python library that lets you turn your Python scripts into interactive web applications without requiring frontend expertise. In this blog, we’ll take a fun, hands-on approach to learning the key Gradio components by building a text-to-speech (TTS) web application that you can run on an AI PC or Intel®…
In Part 1 we covered the basics and how a fragmented approach can have a higher MTTD and MTTR. In part two we highlight five critical ways a hybrid mesh approach uniquely disrupts the ransomware lifecycle. How a Hybrid Mesh Architecture Disrupts the Attack Chain A hybrid mesh architecture (hybrid mesh) offers a new architectural approach that unifies threat prevention, segmentation, policy enforcement and other defenses such as email and endpoint across distributed enterprise environments. See figure 3 for an illustration. It is particularly effective in countering ransomware for five core reasons: Shared Threat Intelligence and Multi-Vendor Integration In today’s…
