In the ongoing battle between cyber adversaries and defenders, the odds are often stacked against the guardians of digital assets. Defenders face a challenging task – they must secure their systems 100% of the time, while adversaries need only find one vulnerability to breach their defenses. This inherent imbalance presents a significant challenge to the cybersecurity community, where constant vigilance is necessary.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a fully managed Kubernetes service that makes it easy to run, scale, and secure containerized applications using Kubernetes. However, managing costs while utilizing EKS can be challenging, especially as your organization grows and adds more resources. This article will outline some best practices to help you optimize costs and get the most out of your EKS deployment.

In the realm of cybersecurity, the escalation of threats, especially in cloud environments, demands robust and adaptive strategies for threat detection and response. The MITRE ATT&CK framework, a globally-accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations, offers a structured approach to understanding and tackling security threats. This article delves into the utilization of the MITRE ATT&CK framework for enhancing cloud threat detection.

In this article, we will introduce one of the most useful tools that every engineer responsible for the network layer should have in their arsenal: VPC flow logs. Back in the day when private data centers were cool, when we needed to troubleshoot network problems, we had to “tap the wire” and that could take many forms such as installing packet sniffers on various network segments or configuring complicated traffic mirroring options. Enter VPC flow logs! With the cloud and the advent of software defined networks, troubleshooting IP networks has never been easier.

AWS Config offers basic capabilities for change management in small AWS environments but has limitations when it comes to complex and dynamic environments.
