As enterprise cloud adoption on AWS accelerates, security remains a top of mind concern for many businesses. Traditional security approaches don’t fit with the dynamic nature of the cloud, leaving business exposed to a host of new threats. Especially now where deployments have a hybrid solution with workloads sitting in AWS as well as in the corporate datacenter, security needs to be rethought from an end to end perspective. As a result, security teams require a few key capabilities to secure connectivity between workloads across AWS VPCs and from/to on-prem resources: 1. Cloud Perimeter Firewall – customers want to inspect all incoming traffic into the VPCs. 2. Inter-Tenant Inspection – for workloads communicating across VPCs, a security policy needs to be applied and traffic to allow for deep packet inspection 3. Internet Bound Inspection – for workloads communicating to the internet, traffic needs inspection before leaving the IGW. 4. Hybrid Cloud Protection – for workloads that ne...

Social media sites are increasingly the focus of our digital lives. Not only do we share, interact and post on platforms like Facebook —we also use these sites to quickly log into our favorite apps and websites. But what happens when these social media gatekeepers are hacked? Awhile back, Facebook suffered a major attack when hackers obtained the digital keys to access at least 30 million accounts (originally thought to be 50 million), exposing highly sensitive personal details. The attack not only gave the bad guys access to the Facebook accounts but raised the prospect of them also being able to access any linked apps or websites.

As a Facebook user, you’re probably well-aware of the ease-of-use benefit of logging-in to your third-party website and application accounts using your Facebook creden...
