Agentless scanning inspects cloud environments for security risks without installing software agents on workloads, using cloud provider APIs and snapshot analysis instead

Business email compromise is a targeted cyberattack where criminals impersonate someone you trust—like your CEO, a vendor, or a business partner—to trick you into sending money or revealing confidential information.

Arbitrary code execution is when an attacker tricks your system into running their malicious code without permission. Think of it like someone breaking into your house and using your computer to do whatever they want.

A backdoor attack creates a hidden method for bypassing standard authentication or security controls in a computer system, application, or network. Think of it as a secret entrance that allows attackers to return to a compromised system whenever they want, without going through the front door.

Successful security programs utilize runtime signal analysis with cloud context to eliminate unnecessary alerts and focus on exploitable threats—active malicious behaviors, suspicious identity patterns, and attack paths—not just static vulnerabilities.

DevSecOps Automation is the practice of embedding automated security controls into every phase of software development and deployment.

Application Vulnerability Scanning is the automated process of detecting security weaknesses in software applications before attackers exploit them.

AI data classification is the process of using machine learning to automatically sort and label data based on its content and sensitivity.

Kubernetes YAML is the declarative file format Kubernetes uses to define, configure, and manage cluster resources.

Despite the costs and challenges involved, achieving solid cloud network defenses is an opportunity for SMBs to reinforce cloud operations and maximize their cloud investments.
