A SANS 2021 Survey: Threat Hunting in Uncertain Times
Discover insights from SANS experts on recent breaches, emerging threats, and how to mitigate risks going forward.

4 Levels of Automated Remediation
Automation can be incredibly powerful, particularly in the world of cloud security. But many organizations struggle to implement automation that will align with their broader security goals. This whitepaper outlines some best practices to consider when embracing automation.

Ransomware Playbook: Actions You Can Take to Lower the Risk and Impact of This Kind of Attack
Many organizations are relying on Managed Detection & Response (MDR) providers to make sure they’re able to respond to threats like Ransomware as they emerge, without hiring any headcount. With an expected shortage of 2.5 million cybersecurity professionals it’s become critical to dedicate resources to better prepare for, detect, and respond to these types of attacks.

Practical Guide to Gartner’s Cloud Security Archetypes
The cloud security solutions market is growing rapidly and there are an overwhelming number of solutions. Figuring out the right tool, let alone the right type of tool, can be difficult.

Cloud and Kubernetes – Removing the Kubernetes Security Blind Spots
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP) are foundations for good cloud security, but with more and more organizations adopting microservices and Kubernetes orchestration using cloud and hybrid cloud infrastructure, they are unwittingly expanding their significant attack surface.

Shifting Cloud Security Left With Infrastructure as Code
DevOps and the continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline are revolutionizing application development, test, and cloud delivery, enabling developers to write the application code and define the cloud infrastructure. But where is cloud security? Shifting left allows cloud security to scale along with development, improving developer productivity and stopping security and compliance risks before runtime.

Securing Kubernetes With InsightCloudSec, Rapid7’s Cloud-Native Security Platform
Enterprises on a Kubernetes journey cannot apply the traditional security solutions that once protected on-site servers or VMs, as those are not designed for the unique development practices and distributed environments with which Kubernetes excels.

2020 Vulnerability Intelligence Report
Security, IT, and other teams tasked with vulnerability management and risk reduction frequently operate in high-urgency, high-stakes environments that require them to quickly separate signal from noise. When a new potential threat emerges, information security professionals often find themselves needing to translate vague descriptions and untested research artifacts into actionable intelligence for their own particular risk models.
