The shift to the cloud has brought new challenges in securing environments, with traditional static rules and static graph algorithms-based approaches to security falling short. In this article, we will explore why static rules and static graph algorithms are no longer sufficient, and why dynamic graph algorithms present a better solution for cloud security management (CSPM, CIEM, and KSPM)

Terraform Cloud is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform built on top of the open-source Terraform tool. It provides a centralized workspace for teams to collaborate on infrastructure management, share Terraform configurations, and enforce security and compliance policies. Terraform Cloud streamlines the infrastructure management process by automating manual tasks, enabling version control, and providing a unified platform to track and monitor infrastructure changes.

Traditional security measures, such as periodic scans, have become increasingly inadequate in ensuring the safety and integrity of cloud environments. The cloud's rapidly evolving and dynamic nature necessitates a more practical approach: real-time change impact analysis. In this article, we will explore the limitations of periodic scans for cloud security and delve into the benefits of real-time change impact analysis as a superior alternative.

Terraform code needs to be tested to ensure that it works as expected. In this post, we'll look at some best practices for testing Terraform infrastructure code.

Reducing the cost of AWS NAT Gateways is essential for optimizing the budget for your cloud infrastructure. AWS NAT Gateways play a crucial role in enabling communication between instances in private subnets and the internet, but the cost of using them can add up quickly. In this hands-on guide I’ve covered several best practices to reduce the cost of your AWS NAT Gateways. By following these best practices, you can reduce the cost of your AWS NAT gateway and optimize your cloud infrastructure budget.

In this hands-on guide, we’ll show you how you can migrate your EBS gp2 volumes to gp3 to lower your AWS disk costs by up to 20%.

Elastic IPs are charged an hourly fee even if they are not associated with any running instances, or if they are associated with a stopped instance or with a network interface that is not attached to any running instance. Associating more than one Elastic IP with an instance adds additional charges. Releasing any unassociated Elastic IPs that are no longer needed can help reduce your monthly AWS bill. Stream.Security offers an easy and scalable way to find and manage Elastic IPs with advanced search capabilities and architectural standards.

Old EBS snapshots that are no longer referenced are called orphaned snapshots.You can find and delete these to reduce your AWS bills. You can find orphaned EBS snapshots using AWS Console, AWS CLI, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager. Alternatively, Stream.Security offers an easier and scalable way to find and manage EBS snapshots with advanced search capabilities and architectural standards.
