Palo Alto Networks bolsters its cloud native security offerings

With today’s announcement, Prisma Cloud can now provide organizations with deep web and API security both inline and out of band, allowing them to choose how to protect their cloud applications.

Cybersecurity mitigations no organisation can afford to ignore

Code signing is another underused approach, in light of architectural trends that pull code from disparate sources at runtime. In particular, sub-resource integrity (SRI) headers can ensure that external scripts haven’t been modified when they are called at runtime. As applications increasingly rely on external scripts to pull in new features, SRI is a powerful tool to shut down vectors.

The WAF Is Dead (and we know who killed it)

Knowing that DevOps are going to keep spinning out new code, how can one figure out if their WAF is worth the maintenance or dead in the water?

Prisma Cloud now secures apps with Web App Firewall (WAF)

Prisma Cloud delivers cloud workload protection capabilities through a number of distinct modules including Host Security, Container Security, and Web Application and API Security (WAAS).

These credential lists are simply a file of usernames (usually email addresses) and passwords. If the attacker hasn’t already obtained a batch of them through phishing, they can easily turn to the dark web.
