    FTX Japan, Long Inactive, Leaves Millions of Customer Records Publicly Accessible

    Why the Lack of Cloud Monitoring Causes Data Breaches

    In the past 6 months, a number of high-profile data breaches, namely cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, have resulted in the loss of millions of records and millions of dollars in fines, pipeline depletion, and restitution for the affected customers.

    Secure Amazon S3 with Advanced Access Control and Antivirus Scanning

    The typical enterprise organization stores high volumes of data in cloud storage services such as Amazon S3– with much of this data being sensitive or otherwise business critical in nature. Particularly for organizations who leverage data lakes built on Amazon S3, the sheer volume of data housed within one (or a few) individual storage resources is staggering. Scaling cloud infrastructure requires implementing proper access controls and comprehensive malware protection. These measures limit exposure to bad actors and unintended user mistakes, protecting against data breaches, system disruptions, and financial losses. Implementing these controls secures the cloud and helps achieve certifications like ISO 27001. Cloud Storage Security Antivirus for Amazon S3 enhances Amazon S3's native features, offering advanced antivirus scanning and malware protection.
