Futuralis: Proactive AWS Security for Uptime Insurance

🔐 Cloud Security Flashpoint: F5 Gets Hit — What It Says About Infrastructure Risks Big news today: the U.S. government issued an emergency directive after a nation-state breach of F5’s security tooling. Wall Street Journal+1 Internal files, source code, and configurations were compromised — which puts cloud environments that depend on F5 squarely in the line of fire. Axios+1 If infra is your domain, here are 3 takeaways we all should take seriously: ⚠️ 1. Trust your dependencies — but don’t assume they’re infallible Your cloud infra is only as secure as the tools you build it on. When the foundational tools get breached, even your locked-down pipelines are vulnerable. 👮 2. Zero Trust & least privilege must extend to control plane tools It’s not just about service accounts or user roles. Management planes, security products, observability tools — everything should follow least privilege. If a security tool has broad access and gets compromised, it becomes your weakest link. 🔄 3. Continual auditing, validation, and breach drills aren’t optional Configuration drift, stale access, and unchecked permissions are playgrounds for attackers. If you don’t test your infra’s defenses, one day you’ll wake up to someone else’s agenda running inside your systems. Let’s not wait until the next “big name” gets breached.

𝗖𝗬𝗕𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗜𝗣 #𝟰: 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗗𝗼! 🚨 Remember the Capital One Breach? In 2019, over 106 million customer records were exposed all because of a cloud firewall misconfiguration. One small setup error led to massive financial loss, legal fallout, and long-term reputation damage. ✅ How to Avoid the Same Mistake: • Review your cloud configurations regularly • Set strict access controls & permissions • Monitor for unusual activity or insider threats • Work with IT pros who understand secure cloud architecture Staying “mostly secure” isn’t enough, one misstep can cost millions. 📌 Source: https://hubs.ly/Q03PkTlX0 💬 Is your business 100% sure its cloud settings are locked down?

Are you truly prepared for data loss? Many rely on cloud services like M365 or G Suite, but what happens if data is accidentally deleted or modified by your team? Backing up your email and critical data creates a hot swap, mitigating risks beyond server outages, it's about safeguarding your information from internal mishaps. Remember, cloud providers focus on availability, not backups. Having your own backup plan ensures peace of mind and business continuity. Don't wait for a data disaster, be proactive today! #RTBTechnologies #DataProtection #BusinessContinuity #CyberSecurity

Think “secure website” means “slow website”? Think again. ⚡ Adding firewalls + SSL layers often tanks performance. Result: a “secure” experience that frustrates users and hurts SEO. You shouldn’t have to choose between protection and performance.

🔗 In modern cloud environments, context is everything. With their new integration, Wiz and Check Point are unifying cloud risk with network defense—bringing firewall rules, protections, and topology directly into Wiz’s Security Graph. That means you can immediately see which vulnerabilities are already shielded and which remain exposed. This shared visibility drastically reduces friction between cloud and network teams. Rather than guesswork or siloed handoffs, the integration enables validated exposure analysis and safer remediation. When Check Point’s Infinity can automatically enforce protections like virtual patching, teams gain breathing room to remediate root causes without opening gaps. In short: combining cloud scanning with live network context turns risk noise into prioritized action. This kind of integrated defense is exactly what security operations need to scale with confidence—and with clarity. 🛡️ #CloudSecurity #NetworkDefense #IntegratedSecurity #Wiz #CheckPoint #ExposureManagement #CyberResilience #DevSecOps

Your Web Application Firewall (WAF) sees EVERYTHING 👁️ In our new blog, @nyxgeek demonstrates how an attacker with access to Azure Front Door’s WAF and Log Analytics can potentially skim credentials from a site behind the WAF.

Ransomware has changed the rules. For years, the 3-2-1 backup strategy was the gold standard in data protection: 3 copies of your data, 2 types of media, 1 offsite copy. It worked — until ransomware got smart. Now, attackers don’t just target your production systems. They go after your backups first, encrypting everything and leaving you with no way out. That’s why the standard had to evolve. Meet the 3-2-1-1-0 rule — the modern blueprint for true ransomware resilience: • 1 offline or air-gapped copy – isolated from your network and untouchable. • 0 errors – verified, tested backups you can actually restore from. This approach, paired with technologies like immutability (WORM policies, snapshots, S3 Object Lock), ensures your backups can’t be altered or deleted — not even by a compromised admin. Whether on-prem, virtualized, or in the cloud, StoneFly solutions make air-gapped and immutable, ransomware-proof backup practical and manageable. Your data deserves more than hope. It deserves resilience by design.

🚨 The AWS outage today is a sharp reminder that cybersecurity isn’t just about keeping hackers out — it’s about resilience when the infrastructure itself fails. ☁️ When one cloud region goes down and takes half the internet with it, that’s not a glitch — it’s a systemic risk. 🧭 If your business continuity plan doesn’t account for vendor outages, you don’t have a security plan — you have a wish list. ⚙️ Redundancy, visibility, and multi-cloud thinking aren’t luxuries anymore. They’re survival. #CyberSecurity #CloudResilience #AWSOutage #BusinessContinuity #InfoSec #CyberResilience #RiskManagement #CloudSecurity #IncidentResponse #TechLeadership #CISO #DigitalResilience #CyberAwareness

What's your cloud's biggest blind spot? It's probably not a new zero-day exploit. It's the "test" environment a developer spun up with their personal credit card. It's the "temporary" S3 bucket a marketing team is using to share files. This is Cloud Shadow IT. It's the infrastructure, platforms, and services that exist outside the visibility and control of your IT and security teams. The risk is massive: ● Zero Oversight: These assets aren't patched, monitored, or included in security scans. ● Misconfiguration: They are almost always misconfigured, creating easy entry points for attackers. ● Data Leakage: Sensitive company data often ends up in these unsanctioned buckets and databases. ● Compliance Nightmare: They create a completely undocumented and uncontrolled part of your environment, making audits impossible. You can't secure what you can't see. This is why a foundational capability of any modern security program is continuous asset discovery. You need a CNAPP platform that can automatically discover and onboard all cloud accounts associated with your organization—not just the ones you already know about. Are you confident you've found all the "shadows" in your cloud? #CloudSecurity #ShadowIT #ThreatIntel #CNAPP #AssetManagement #Cybersecurity #RiskManagement #CISO #PioneerHive
