Lacework Strengthens Threat Detection To Uncover More Malicious Activity and Speed Investigation at Scale

Lacework, a cloud security company, announced new capabilities that enable organizations to uncover critical infrastructure threats and empower teams to collaborate more efficiently in alert investigation and response. Lacework has added fully automated time series modeling to the existing anomaly detection capabilities of the Polygraph Data Platform.

Sysdig Combats Cryptojacking in the Cloud Using Machine Learning

Sysdig, a unified container and cloud security platform, announced machine learning-powered cloud detection and response (CDR) to combat cryptojacking. The company’s threat engine and detection algorithms block cryptojacking in the cloud with 99 percent precision. Cryptojacking is the unauthorized use of someone else’s computing resources to mine cryptocurrency. According to the Google Cloud Threat Horizons Report, 86 percent of compromised Google Cloud instances were used for cryptocurrency mining. Cryptojackers use low-and-slow attack techniques to mask what they are doing, so those impacted do not realize it until they receive their cloud bill. The longer cryptojacking goes undetected, the more significant the financial impact. While the average increase in a monthly bill varies by the report, it is not uncommon for cryptojackers to run up a $100,000 – $500,000 bill in a single month.
