Unleashing the Power of Generative AI: Accelerating Cloud Security

A loophole in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) - dubbed ‘Sys:All’ - could allow an attacker with any Google account to take over a GKE cluster, potentially leading to serious security incidents such as cryptomining, denial of service, and sensitive data theft. The loophole stems from a likely widespread misconception that the system:authenticated group in GKE includes only verified and deterministic identities, whereas in fact, it includes any Google authenticated account (even outside the organization). This misunderstanding could then create a serious weakness when the system:authenticated group is assigned overly permissive roles.

Learn from our speakers as they deep-dive into the details of the GKE loophole, provide the results of our initial reconnaissance research in the wild, and provide practical recommendations on how to make sure your organization is not vulnerable.

In this webcast, we’ll cover:
- What the ‘Sys:All’ GKE loophole is
- How we managed to find thousands of vulnerable GKE clusters
- How to protect against this loophole

You'll learn:
  •  Why cloud security democratization is important
  •  How AI-driven cloud security empowers stakeholders across the organization
  •  Practical use cases where AI is helping improve cloud security postures

We’ll also demo how the Orca platform democratizes cloud security by delivering intuitive, AI-driven cloud asset search, remediation and user permissions management.

Industry reports show that organizations waste as much as one-third of their cloud spend. Often, that wasted spend lines up with risky, unmanaged, or unused assets. As cloud usage grows, this problem is only going to get worse: many organizations don’t have a full grasp of all the assets they are running in the cloud and what they are being used for, let alone what they are paying for them. 

In this webinar, we will explore the various strategies and best practices for optimizing cloud costs and reducing cloud waste on AWS, Azure, GCP, and Alibaba cloud. We will also demonstrate, in real-time, how the Orca Cloud Security Platform continually detects unused, underutilized, and unattached compute resources to help you reduce unnecessary cloud spend and decommission those risky unused systems.

In this session, you’ll learn:
 • How cloud resources are billed by each provider, and what you may not be aware of.
 • How Orca can alert you to unnecessary cloud resources that can be removed
 • How security can be improved by removing unnecessary assets
