Security teams have long relied on deliberately vulnerable web applications to train defenders and test internal defenses. New research shows those same tools are now being used as a shortcut into real enterprise cloud environments. An investigation by automated penetration testing firm Pentera  found that threat actors are actively exploiting misconfigured security training and testing applications that have been left exposed on the public internet. These include intentiona

For years, enterprises have treated cloud security as a budgeting problem. Spend more, buy more tools, hire more specialists. The assumption was simple: complexity could be contained with enough investment. The latest 2026 Cloud Security Report  from Fortinet  and research partner Cybersecurity Insiders suggests that assumption is breaking down. Based on a global survey of more than 1,100 senior security leaders conducted in late 2025, the report paints a picture of organizat

Presidio is betting that the next phase of cloud services will look less like a fixed contract and more like a living system that adjusts as customers grow, spend, and secure their environments. Presidio has introduced Adaptive Cloud Services, a new portfolio of AI-enhanced offerings built on Amazon Web Services that is designed to scale in step with an organization’s maturity rather than forcing customers into an all-or-nothing managed services model. Cloud adoption has rea

Commvault is making a direct play for one of the messiest corners of modern cloud infrastructure: the sprawl of S3-based backups quietly accumulating across enterprise environments. The data protection company announced a new cloud-native service called Commvault Cloud Unified Data Vault , aimed at bringing structure, immutability, and policy control to data written via the S3 protocol. The offering extends Commvault’s air-gapped resilience model to S3-compatible workloads,

For years, cloud security teams have been promised that artificial intelligence would simplify their lives. In practice, much of that AI has arrived sealed inside opaque interfaces—systems that spit out answers without showing their work. As cloud environments sprawl and risk signals multiply, that lack of transparency has become a liability rather than a feature. This week, Upwind  is betting that the next phase of AI-driven cloud security won’t be about smarter black boxes,

Cloud security has a noise problem. As organizations pile into AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, the number of alerts generated by scanners and posture tools has exploded. Security teams are told hundreds of things could be wrong, yet they often lack clear evidence of what is actually exploitable. Astra Security says its latest product is designed to change that equation by attaching proof to every finding. This week, the company unveiled its Cloud Vulnerability Scanner, a new a
