It’s no secret that government agencies are facing increasing restrictions and compliance regulations as they strive to ensure effective data governance and protection. “Agencies have a lot of regulated information that needs to be governed, and they need to make sure it’s not compromised,” says Corey DuBois, senior advisory presales solution consultant at ServiceNow. “There are a lot of checks and balances they need to have in place.”
Despite the best efforts of individuals to protect their own data, they cannot always account for the cybersecurity shortcomings of larger organizations such as their employers, financial institutions, and healthcare providers entrusted with their personal information. Hotels should also be added to this list of vulnerable entities, as was made painfully apparent in the most recent Marriott data breach.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) is an attack that tricks a user's browser into sending a malicious HTTP request to another website. This malicious HTTP request looks like it was sent by the user, but it actually comes from the attacker. A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attempts to execute a change rather than trying to download personal data. Once an attack is executed there is no way for the attacker to directly monitor the result so attackers often execute multiple forgeries.
In cloud-native organizations and software as a service (SaaS) businesses, cloud security automation is becoming a must-have feature. You can't stay ahead of threats across several levels of your cloud environment using manual procedures alone, and you can't rely exclusively on cloud providers' security technology, which doesn't operate across different clouds and lacks advanced automation features. Managing these infrastructures and apps in multi-cloud settings becomes increasingly difficult and compounds the operational issues that you face today. Automation is the way to go if you want to stay ahead of the game and meet the expectations of your customers.

The early days of cloud computing saw people subject it to severe scrutiny. The main talking point revolved around its security and the ability of infrastructure providers to keep it secure. Regardless of the doubts, more businesses are migrating to the cloud. That's mainly because leading cloud service providers have consistently improved and upgraded their processes to secure their networks. However, even with years of improvement, the old fears remain.

Since joining the CFEngine team in 2019 I’ve heard and read numerous times that the configuration management market is dying and becoming obsolete. While I and many others don’t personally adopt this line of thinking, I can understand why one would come to this conclusion being that we’re in an ever-changing industry and talking about solutions that have been around for decades.
