Security News > 2024 > July > Enhancing threat detection for GenAI workloads with cloud attack emulation

Cloud GenAI workloads inherit pre-existing cloud security challenges, and security teams must proactively evolve innovative security countermeasures, including threat detection mechanisms.

More recently, detection engineering has spun off as a specialized aspect of threat detection, allowing detection engineers to customize threat detection systems.

Lack of threat detection logic: Threat detection engines need specific logic to identify malicious or suspicious events in the cloud.

Cloud attack emulation minimizes cloud detection errors and alert fatigue by safely emulating cyber attacks that typify actual attacker behavior.

Cloud attack emulation is a critical component for developing and improving cloud detection significantly, as cloud APIs, features, and resources change unpredictably, and these changes are potential vulnerabilities and attack opportunities.

While learning from actual attacks has proven to be the most powerful motivation to strengthen threat detection, cloud attack emulation provides a means to learn cheaply without the exact implications of an actual cyber attack.
