With the mission of empowering developers to take control of their own code integrity, SonarLint, a free and open source IDE extension from SonarSource, recently announced a new feature for its software that aims to help developers identify and prevent leaks of AWS user or system-level authentication credentials before they are committed to a repository and leaked from user's local source code or files. There have been a number of news articles in the past year highlighting incidents where malicious users have stolen API keys embedded in public source code repositories such as GitHub and BitBucket.

Unlike an old-school 2D plotter than can move its printing mechanism side-to-side and top-to-bottom in order to skim across a horizontal surface, a 3D printer can move its print head vertically as well. To print on a surface, a 2D plotter usually uses some sort of pen that releases ink as the print head moves in the plane.

Earlier this week, Microsoft has shared guidance on securing Windows 365 Cloud PCs and more info on their built-in security capabilities. The guidance is broken down into actions customers can take to secure Cloud PCs enrolled in Windows 365 Business and Windows 365 Enterprise subscription plans.
A 3D printer remote monitoring company accidentally exposed users' printers to each other after a cloud reconfiguration snafu.Jiang added that his team had been "Notified of a case in which a user started a print on someone else's printer" - and linked through to a Reddit post where someone had used a stranger's printer to print the words: "TSD is not secure/ I randomly connected /sorry had to inform u.".

The public cloud shared security model may lead to gaps in the telemetry. On occasion, DevOps teams may also reduce logging on end systems and applications to reduce CPU usage, leading to additional gaps in telemetry data.
Iboss announced the general availability of three new features that have been added to the iboss Cloud Platform: API Cloud Access Security Broker, Advanced CASB controls and Remote Browser Isolation. "The future of work is anywhere, and organizations need to ensure they have the right checks and balances in place to ensure their users are securely connected to any application they need from any device, all in the cloud. Part of this requires additional control and visibility into how employees are accessing the resources they need to stay productive," said Paul Martini, CEO of iboss.
Cloud deployments are also a huge source of data leaks, and third-party data providers running in the cloud continue to be a source of data leaks from otherwise secure organizations.Security is paramount for the companies who build and maintain the major clouds like Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform and others - Microsoft for example has an extremely well-developed process to secure its hypervisor layer.
