Cloud Security Basics: Keeping Your Business Data Safe Online


A resilient cloud posture relies on layered controls and continuous validation:

  • Enforce AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit

  • Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on every account

  • Implement role-based access control (RBAC) with least-privilege policies

  • Maintain an up-to-date asset inventory and automate configuration scans

  • Deploy continuous threat monitoring plus a tested incident response plan

  • Integrate application allowlisting and API security to limit attack surfaces

Mastering Cybersecurity: Advanced APT Detection Strategies for 2025


Stay ahead of persistent adversaries by combining analytics and zero trust:

  • AI & ML frameworks (e.g., BiADG) achieving up to 91% intrusion precision

  • Zero Trust models reducing APT dwell time from 78 days to just 9.3 hours

  • CSPM tools pinpointing cloud misconfigurations before they’re weaponized

  • UEBA systems tracking 120+ behavioral parameters to flag insider threats

  • Threat intelligence feeds feeding real-time indicators into SIEM/EDR

Cloudflare Exploited: Hackers Use Tunnels for Stealthy Cyber Assaults

Ransomware groups now weaponize Cloudflare’s own tunnel client for covert access:

  • BlackSuit, Royal, Medusa deploy Cloudflared to disguise malicious traffic

  • Persistent tunnels survive reboots, DNS changes, and IP rotations

  • Attackers rename instances to mimic trusted services, evading detection

  • Use internal network segmentation and firewall rules to block unauthorized tunnels
