Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 researchers have demonstrated how an indirect prompt-injection attack against AWS’ AgentCore Harness could be used to extract plaintext credentials managed by AgentCore Identity. The researchers said the attack worked with a default Harness configuration, combining malicious instructions embedded in external content with its built-in shell tool. AWS reviewed the disclosure […]

Almost every organisation running cloud-native systems has been hit by a security incident in the past year. The causes are less dramatic than the frequency suggests, according to Red Hat’s 2026 State of Cloud-Native Security Report, published on March 24. It states that 97% of organisations reported at least one cloud-native security incident over the […]

Enterprise networks do not operate inside a single security perimeter. Workloads now run in on-premise data centres, public clouds, branch offices, and remote endpoints simultaneously. Employees connect from home networks, cloud infrastructure scales dynamically, and applications interact increasingly across multiple platforms. These changes have created a major challenge for traditional network security. Legacy firewall architectures […]

It’s often the nature of the job that cloud security teams work with only partial visibility when trying to identify and assess cyber risk. Even when an issue has been identified, assigning ownership for the necessary remediation is an additional possible stumbling block. The result is a speed of fix that’s sub-optimal – and the […]

Automating patching for container-based images has become a requirement for organisations running production workloads at scale. Containers promised faster delivery and cleaner infrastructure boundaries, but they also introduced a new operational reality: base images now function as long-lived supply-chain artefacts. Once approved, they are reused in services and environments, often persisting, unchanged for months. This […]
