Organizations in regulated industries run container workloads in air-gapped AWS environments, which means migrating hundreds of Helm charts and images into private Amazon ECR with consistent security controls. This post uses Amazon ECR repository creation templates, Terraform, and a migration tool to make secure-by-default the path of least resistance.

We applied AWS Security Agent (now part of AWS Continuum), our autonomous penetration-testing agent, to 37 real, recently disclosed Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), each packaged as a live, containerized target with a flag hidden at the vulnerability’s intended sink. Starting from an unauthenticated or low-privilege position (an endpoint URL and a one-line hint, no

Most security tooling that fits into a CI/CD pipeline—static analysis (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and dynamic scanners (DAST)—flags potential issues from patterns and signatures. A flagged pattern shows you where to look; penetration testing is what confirms whether something is actually exploitable. That confirmation has traditionally come from a periodic, out-of-band engagement that runs

When you restore an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL instance from a snapshot, the Amazon EBS volume hydrates lazily, so early queries can run 10x to 15x slower. This post walks through PostgreSQL-native prewarming techniques (pg_prewarm, VACUUM ANALYZE, and full table scans) and new monitoring fields to restore predictable performance faster after restore.

If you’ve ever looked at a list of cybersecurity jobs and felt like none of them fit you, you might just be looking at a short list. Most career guides cover the same few roles, like the analyst watching alerts or the pen tester (penetration tester, someone hired to legally break into systems to find

Some numbers are hard to picture until you sit with them for a moment. Last week we published the Prime Day 2026 metrics, and the one that stuck with me is 2.3 quadrillion: the daily requests Amazon ElastiCache peaked at during the event. Prime Day ran back in June, so this post always lands as

As your Amazon Aurora DSQL workload scales, DPU consumption and storage costs can grow without a fixed instance ceiling. This post shows how to monitor Aurora DSQL usage and cost with the built-in Usage and cost panel, set up Amazon CloudWatch alarms for hourly DPU spend, and deploy the alarms as code with AWS CloudFormation.

Amazon RDS Custom for SQL Server gives you OS-level access, which also exposes internal storage volumes where the W: drive looks like a raw, uninitialized disk. This post explains the C:, D:, and W: drive architecture, how the drives map to Amazon EBS, and the safe disk operations and verification checks that keep you from accidentally destroying your data.

Amazon GuardDuty Extended Threat Detection correlates weak GuardDuty signals into a single, critical-severity attack sequence finding when their composition crosses a threshold of credibility. On May 20, 2026, the service started attaching five new indicator types to those sequences: MALICIOUS_PACKAGE, MISCONFIGURATION, REACHABILITY, SENSITIVE_DATA, and VULNERABILITY. For more information, see Document history for Amazon GuardDuty and

You want to set a cryptographic algorithm policy and stop non-compliant choices from being made in your Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment. This post shows you how. As you adopt post-quantum cryptography, one of the first decisions you face is which algorithms and parameter sets fit your business needs, balancing security against signature size, key

Software supply chain attacks have grown in both frequency and sophistication. Recent high-profile compromises of build systems and open source dependencies demonstrate that attackers increasingly target the trust mechanisms that verify software integrity. Those trust mechanisms rely on digital signature algorithms, and today many use traditional algorithms such as Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and the Elliptic Curve

MUFG Bank standardized overseas back-office procedures across roughly 30 countries by grounding generative AI in a structured domain model on Amazon Neptune and Amazon Bedrock. Its AI Flowchart application is expected to cut the system-development effort behind each branch-procedure standardization from 11 person-days to 1, a reduction of up to 90%.
