In recent years, cloud identity-related security issues in supply chain attacks have gained significant attention. A supply chain attack occurs when attackers infiltrate a target organization by gaining access to its trusted suppliers or third-party service providers. Although supply chain attacks are not exclusive to the cloud environment, the advent of cloud computing has introduced unique considerations and risks to this type of attack. As opposed to a software supply chain attack (when an attacker gains access to third-party vendor software), like the SolarWinds attack, the type of supply chain attacks we are referring to here doesn't occur from third…

Introduction TypeScript continues to grow in popularity and for good reason. It adds “guard rails” to your code to help you spot issues early on, easily locate problem code, enhance productivity, provide consistency across code, and much more. While there are a lot of TypeScript resources out there to get started learning the language, where can you go to get started quickly without wasting a lot of time? I recently published a series of short videos on TypeScript core concepts that can provide a great starting point. The videos are short, super focused, and many of them use the online TypeScript Playground to demonstrate different concepts. There are a few vi…
