2026-03-31T07:43:42+00:00

The Mirage of the "Perfect" AI Shield: Why Your Security is Still Screwed In a world drowning in AI hype, we’ve been sold a sedative: the idea that a "Perfect AI Security System" is just around the corner. We're imagining a digital god that predicts every breach, slams every door, and lets us all sleep through the night. It’s a lie, A "perfect" AI security system will never exist. Not because the tech isn't getting smarter, but because the math of the universe is stacked against the defender. Here is why your "unbreakable" AI is actually a glass house. The [...]

How to Break Into Tech (With Security in Mind)

2026-03-03T17:42:28+00:00

Let’s talk honestly for a second. If you want to break into tech securely, you need to think differently from the start. A lot of people say they want to “break into tech,” but very few think about structure, architecture, and security from day one. What they usually mean is: Get a remote job  Learn to code  Work in AI Do cybersecurity  Escape something Nothing wrong with that. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: Most people enter tech learning how to build things, but very few take the time to understand how systems actually function and how they break. Because of [...]

AI-Driven Cloud Security at AWS re:Invent 2025

2025-12-26T11:28:51+00:00

Cloud computing continues to accelerate at a pace that traditional security models were never designed to support. Development teams now provision infrastructure in minutes, deploy services continuously, and scale applications automatically. However, security processes often lag behind this speed. In many organizations, security still enters the workflow after key architectural decisions are already finalized. As a result, teams spend more time fixing problems than preventing them. Although many organizations attempt to shift security earlier in development, the results are often disappointing. Security tools may run during build or deployment stages, yet they frequently lack the context required to provide meaningful [...]

HTTP Flood Attack Notification using AWS Lambda, Amazon EventBridge and CloudWatch Logs Insights

2024-01-25T05:04:59+00:00

We can almost do everything now on the website. Selling clothes, ordering food, video posting, doing business meetings, online classes, and others, you name it. Running a website is very awesome and at the same time hard, especially when bad actors want to mess with it. One sneaky way is an "HTTP Flood Attack," where your website gets bombarded with too many requests. This can slow down or even break your site. Detecting and responding to such attacks promptly is crucial for maintaining the availability and performance of your applications. In this blog post, we'll explore how to implement a simple [...]

Managing Amazon GuardDuty Security Findings Across Multiple Accounts

2023-05-02T05:23:52+00:00

In our previous article, we discussed how GuardDuty can help organizations monitor their workloads and  AWS accounts from malicious activities and how to monitor findings with Amazon CloudWatch Events. Imagine that your organization has multiple AWS accounts for different workloads, teams, and projects. With every account, you need to monitor GuardDuty findings individually. It will be quite difficult for your security team to monitor these findings with their constant switching between AWS accounts.  Amazon GuardDuty supports the consolidation of these findings to one AWS account. For example, your organization has 10 AWS accounts. All you have to do is to [...]

Large scale cyber attacks are now becoming normal in this age of interconnectivity. As we rely more and more on cloud technologies, companies are looking to tap into digital innovations to improve their businesses. Cyber attacks are costing companies millions of dollars of downtime not to mention the possibility of lawsuits whenever an attack occurs. It is imperative that security teams have the means to prevent, detect, and take actions to ensure that the security of their workloads in AWS are airtight. Amazon GuardDuty was released during the 2017 re:Invent conference. Amazon GuardDuty is an agentless threat detection service that [...]

Bookmarks AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store AWS Secrets Manager Similarities and Differences Managing the security of your applications is an integral part of any organization especially for infrastructures deployed in the cloud. One aspect of application security is how the parameters such as environment variables, database passwords, API keys, product keys, etc. are stored and retrieved. As a best practice, secret information should not be stored in plain text and not be embedded inside your source code. It is also recommended to set up an automated system to rotate passwords or keys regularly (which [...]
