Identity-first access control Network proximity is now an inferior trust signal. Only federated, cryptographically verifiable identity tokens issued by centralized enterprise IdPs using OIDC or SAML are permitted as gates to corporate resources. This transition, well-documented by FIDO Alliance and Microsoft research, transfers the very concept of “inside” the organization from the network to…

Ransomware gangs seize a new hostage: your AWS S3 buckets
Tags: access, backup, breach, business, cloud, control, credentials, cryptography, data, encryption, exploit, least-privilege, monitoring, network, ransomware, supply-chainWeaponizing cloud encryption and key management: Trend Micro has identified five S3 ransomware variants that increasingly exploit AWS’s built-in encryption paths. One abuses default AWS-managed KMS keys (SSE-KMS) by encrypting data with an attacker-created key and scheduling that key for deletion. Another uses customer-provided keys (SSE-C), where AWS has no copy, making recovery impossible. The…

In a default-deny world, where only verified sources and verified destinations are allowed, which require a successful policy-allowed DNS resolution, many modern threats are mitigated, and there’s demonstrable value in choosing this path, including being able to enforce “My network, my rules” approach to egress control. However, in this world where existing applications need to…
