Understanding Recent High-Profile Data Breaches and Their Impact in January 2026

Nike Confirms Investigation Into 1.4TB Internal Data Breach Nike disclosed that it is investigating unauthorized access that resulted in the extraction of approximately 1.4 terabytes of internal data. The incident involves a large volume of files taken from internal systems, which signals sustained access rather than a short-lived intrusion. What Data Was Exposed: Nike has notContinue reading “Understanding Recent High-Profile Data Breaches and Their Impact in January 2026”

CCSK Domain 6 – Security Monitoring

1. Cloud Monitoring – Why It’s Hard Monitoring is more complex in the cloud due to: A. Management Plane B. High Velocity C. Distribution & Segregation D. Cloud Sprawl E. Shared Responsibility Model 2. Logs vs Events A. Logs B. Events 3. Security Posture Management Goes beyond logs by analyzing the configuration state of cloudContinue reading “CCSK Domain 6 – Security Monitoring”

CCSK Domain 5 — Identity & Access Management

Why IAM Matters in Cloud IAM is the new perimeter in cloud security. Most cloud breaches happen due to misconfigured IAM (too much access or weak authentication). How IAM Differs in Cloud Point Meaning Spans multiple organizations Users access many cloud services; trust must extend across orgs. Different IAM models per CSP AWS IAM ≠Continue reading “CCSK Domain 5 — Identity & Access Management”
