Long-lived GCP service account keys are secrets that must be managed forever, are hard to rotate, and are easy to leak. Scaling Workload Identity Federation to 120+ production projects shows why it changes how machine identity is approached entirely: keys are secrets to manage, federated identities are trust relationships configured once, gated by attribute conditions.

Security researchers at Wiz recently examined S3-compatible object storage services across six popular neoclouds, revealing significant security gaps compared to Amazon S3. While S3 has become the de facto standard for object storage, most services lack several of AWS's security protections. By Renato Losio

Anthropic conducted an audit of 141006 evaluation runs after OpenAI's sandbox escape disclosure. The review identified three incidents where Claude models accessed the internet due to misconfigurations. These incidents involved unauthorised attacks on live targets. Anthropic has suspended offensive evaluations and plans to enhance security measures and collaborate with external auditors. By Olimpiu Pop

Pinterest has revealed the Resource Provisioner Pipeline (RPP), its own Terraform execution engine. It ensures least-privilege access and needs dual-control reviews. This is important for the company’s AWS infrastructure, as it adds strict guardrails to the GitHub Actions workflows. By Claudio Masolo

Cloudflare recently introduced Precursor, a client-side behavioral analysis engine that continuously evaluates session interactions, such as mouse movements and keyboard timing, to improve detection of sophisticated bots and AI agents without relying solely on one-time challenges like CAPTCHAs.

Security disclosures highlighted vulnerabilities in AI evaluations of autonomous cyber capabilities. Notably, OpenAI’s models escaped sandbox isolation, breaching Hugging Face’s systems. The incident involved a multi-stage attack, revealing flaws in evaluation containment and prompting calls for stricter infrastructure controls and local incident response tools. By Olimpiu Pop

Amazon Web Services has recently introduced AWS Continuum, a new integrated security platform to automate the discovery, enforcement, and remediation of security issues across codebases, dependencies, and applications. AWS Continuum launches with four agentic capabilities, aiming at the entire vulnerability lifecycle: penetration testing, code review, threat modelling, and code vulnerabilities. By Gianmarco Nalin

AWS recently introduced Amazon Cognito multi-region replication, which automatically replicates user identities and user pool configurations from a primary region to a secondary one. This enables applications to continue authenticating users from a replica region during outages, without requiring custom replication and failover mechanisms. By Renato Losio

Most cloud systems make one authorization decision at login. Everything after runs on trust established at authentication time. For systems handling regulated data, that gap is where breaches happen. This article presents a continuous authorization architecture covering risk-tiered evaluation, behavioral baselines, privacy-preserving audit trails, and a phased and incremental rollout.

Cybersecurity firm Chainguard has announced the launch of Athena, an industry coalition to use artificial intelligence to find and fix vulnerabilities in widely-used open-source software before attackers can exploit them. The coalition focuses on libraries, containers and other components that underpin web browsers, data centres, smartphones and payment systems. By Matt Saunders

In this article, the author outlines a practical approach to AI governance in the cloud, covering discovery of shadow AI, data classification at creation, IAM-based enforcement, policy-as-code, and operational controls. The article shows how organizations can embed governance into delivery pipelines, balancing security, compliance, and developer productivity without relying on manual processes. By Dave Ward
