37 publicationsInvestigate stolen cloud credentials used to run AI models
When stolen keys run foundation models in your account, the evidence is split between CloudTrail, usage logs that may never have been enabled and a bill that lags by a day or more.
Detection & response · Amazon Web Services / Microsoft Azure / Google Cloud · By Cloud Security DeskFind the Kubernetes RBAC permissions that lead to cluster admin
Group RBAC grants by what they yield, not by verb. Then close the nodes/proxy exec path with v1.36 fine-grained kubelet permissions, narrow impersonation, and prove each removal with a negative test.
Identity & access · Kubernetes / Amazon Web Services / Google Cloud / Microsoft Azure · By Cloud Security DeskKnow what service mesh mTLS proves about the caller
A mesh handshake proves that a peer held a key for a namespace and service account. It says nothing about the user or the operation, and permissive defaults, probes and waypoints open paths around it.
Workload security · Istio / Linkerd / Kubernetes / Google Cloud / Microsoft Azure / Amazon Web Services · By Cloud Security DeskFind the AWS global control planes in your recovery path
Thirteen AWS control planes run in us-east-1 or us-west-2, and ordinary calls from other Regions still reach them. Audit runbooks, SDK settings and the last exercise, then swap each dependency for a data-plane operation.
Resilience · Amazon Web Services · By Cloud Security DeskLock down self-hosted model servers before exposing them
Built-in credentials in vLLM, SGLang and Triton cover less than their names suggest, Ollama's local API has none, and vLLM and SGLang leave their internal planes unauthenticated. Here is what stays open and what must sit in front.
AI systems · vLLM / SGLang / Ollama / NVIDIA Triton Inference Server / Kubernetes / nginx · By Cloud Security DeskUse DNS egress filtering without mistaking it for a firewall
Resolver-layer filters in AWS, Azure and Google Cloud decide which names a workload can resolve, not where it connects. What each provider says its DNS control misses, and the connection control to pair with it.
Workload security · Amazon Web Services / Microsoft Azure / Google Cloud · By Cloud Security DeskPlan the move from ingress-nginx to Gateway API
Ingress-nginx is archived and will not be patched again. Contain the old controller, inventory the behaviors your clients depend on, and cut over to Gateway API with evidence and a rollback path.
Workload security · Kubernetes / Google Cloud / AWS / Azure · By Cloud Security DeskGive Kubernetes pods cloud credentials without static keys
EKS Pod Identity, IRSA, AKS Workload ID and Workload Identity Federation for GKE all swap a projected token for short-lived credentials. What leaks if you stop there is the node's own identity.
Identity & access · Amazon Web Services / Microsoft Azure / Google Cloud / Kubernetes · By Cloud Security DeskContain failures with cell-based architecture and shuffle sharding
Cells limit a failure to the tenants behind one partition only when routing, data and change delivery are partitioned too. Here is how to choose the key, size cells and check the shuffle-sharding arithmetic.
Resilience · AWS / Microsoft Azure / Slack · By Cloud Security DeskPrepare Azure automation for mandatory MFA on resource management
Azure now requires MFA for user accounts that write through Resource Manager. Find the scripts and pipelines that still sign in as people and move each one to a managed identity or federated credential.
Identity & access · Microsoft Azure / Microsoft Entra / GitHub / Azure DevOps / HashiCorp Terraform · By Cloud Security DeskInvestigate a CI supply chain compromise from workflow logs to rotated secrets
When an action or package in your pipeline turns out to be malicious, scope the response by exposure window and by what each affected job could reach, then revoke together and hunt for use.
Detection & response · GitHub / AWS / npm · By Cloud Security DeskDesign health checks that remove broken instances without causing outages
A health check is an automated decision to remove capacity. Keep load balancer checks local, learn what your platform does when every target fails, and set probe timing from documented defaults.
Resilience · Amazon Web Services / Microsoft Azure / Google Cloud / Kubernetes · By Cloud Security DeskBuild an inventory of non-human identities across cloud accounts
Find every service account, service principal, role and key across AWS, Entra and Google Cloud, then record the owner, credential type, privilege and last use that turn a list into decisions.
Identity & access · Amazon Web Services / Microsoft Entra / Microsoft Azure / Google Cloud / OWASP · By Cloud Security DeskEncrypt Kubernetes Secrets at rest with a KMS v2 provider
KMS v2 keeps etcd copies and backups unreadable without an external key, but it does not stop API readers. Configure it, compare what EKS, AKS and GKE already do, and finish key rotations with a rewrite.
Workload security · Kubernetes / Amazon EKS / AWS KMS / Azure Kubernetes Service / Azure Key Vault / Google Kubernetes Engine / Cloud KMS · By Cloud Security DeskRun code written by AI agents inside a disposable sandbox
Treat agent-generated code as untrusted input. Pick a microVM or user-space kernel boundary, keep egress and credentials off by default, and destroy the session when the user or conversation ends.
AI systems · Amazon Web Services / Microsoft Azure / Google Cloud / Firecracker / gVisor / OWASP · By Cloud Security DeskBack up a Kubernetes cluster so workloads can actually be restored
A Kubernetes backup has to carry definitions, Secrets and volume data, and the restore depends on identity, keys and images it never held. Plan the layers, the restore order and the checks that prove recovery.
Resilience · Kubernetes / Velero / Amazon Web Services / Google Cloud / Microsoft Azure · By Cloud Security DeskLimit what Google Cloud principals can reach with principal access boundaries
Allow and deny policies sit on resources. A principal access boundary travels with the identity and limits which projects, folders and organizations it may touch, even where someone else granted it a role.
Identity & access · Google Cloud · By Cloud Security DeskPrepare a cloud exit strategy that satisfies DORA
DORA requires a tested exit plan for every cloud service that supports a critical or important function. This guide turns that duty into dependency maps, measured data exports, staged tests and register entries that agree.
Resilience · European Commission / European Supervisory Authorities / European Central Bank / Amazon Web Services / Google Cloud / Microsoft Azure · By Cloud Security DeskKeep Kubernetes audit records useful without logging secrets
Design a question-led Kubernetes audit policy with explicit body limits, rule precedence, lifecycle stages and provider-specific acceptance checks.
Detection & response · Kubernetes / AWS / Azure / Google Cloud · By Cloud Security DeskRead VPC Flow Logs without overclaiming network evidence
Interpret aggregation, address translation, skipped records and delivery clocks before turning a VPC flow record into an incident conclusion.
Detection & response · AWS · By Cloud Security DeskPlan Kubernetes drains around the disruption budget
Review selector scope, current status, unhealthy Pod handling and replacement capacity before treating a blocked drain as a reason to bypass availability controls.
Resilience · Kubernetes · By Cloud Security DeskIsolate document parsing before RAG ingestion
Give document parsing a bounded worker, then admit its extracted content separately before embedding or indexing.
AI systems · Apache Tika / Kubernetes / gVisor · By Cloud Security DeskSeparate stopping a fault experiment from recovering the service
Plan AWS FIS around separate evidence for stopping execution, removing fault effects and accepting the recovered application.
Resilience · AWS · By Cloud Security DeskGive Kubernetes admission webhooks an explicit failure contract
Treat an admission webhook as a control-plane dependency with explicit behavior for denial, call failure, mutation and the changes needed to repair it.
