It then reviews third-party platforms including Wiz, Palo Alto Prisma Cloud, CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, Trend Micro Cloud One, and Orca Security. It is an editorial vendor assessment with pricing described by model only, highlighting cross-account correlation and attack-path prioritization as third-party differentiators.

Open-source secrets scanning tool Sift hunts credentials in Microsoft 365, Slack, and Jira
Stratus Security open-sourced Sift, a CLI secrets scanner covering Active Directory, SharePoint, Teams, Slack, Jira, and Confluence, outperforming Snaffler in benchmarks.
Stratus Security released Sift, a free open-source command line tool that hunts passwords, API keys, and sensitive data across local disks, Windows shares, Active Directory, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Slack, Jira, and Confluence. In the firm's benchmarks, Sift scanned 250,000 files in 10.61 seconds versus Snaffler's 25.48 and averaged 92 MiB memory versus Snaffler's 337 MiB. Optional false-positive filtering runs through a local language model via Ollama, and scans write checkpoints so interrupted runs resume. The tool found thousands of credentials in Jira ticket comments that prior pentesting had missed.

Honeypot-Omaha and batch.py [Guest Diary], (Wed, Sep 2nd)
A SANS ISC guest diary describes batch.py, a Python tool that consolidates honeypot logs and enriches IOCs with threat intelligence data.
Written by a SANS.edu BACS intern, the diary explains analysis of the DShield Honeypot-Omaha sensor, which uses Cowrie to emulate SSH and Telnet and log attacker activity. The author's batch.py script implements a four-phase pipeline with SHA-256-generated master and guest authentication to consolidate JSON and log files, correlate data via external APIs, and produce MITRE, CVE, geolocation, threat-score and fingerprint enrichment for investigated indicators.

12 Best Kubernetes Security Tools Compared (2026): Features & Pricingnew
GBHackers compares 12 Kubernetes security vendors including Sysdig, Wiz, Aqua, and Cisco Isovalent on features, pricing units, and procurement strategy.
GBHackers publishes a 2026 buying guide comparing 12 Kubernetes security vendors including Sysdig, Wiz, Aqua Security, SUSE NeuVector, Snyk, Cisco Isovalent, Palo Alto Networks, Fairwinds, Red Hat ACS, and Tigera. It argues CNCF-grade open source (Kubescape, Falco, Trivy, Calico, Cilium/Tetragon) provides free posture, runtime, and network policy coverage that resets price negotiations. Cisco's acquisition of Isovalent places the eBPF data plane under a networking giant, while the paid market focuses on multi-cluster policy, enforcement, and support. The piece emphasizes that pricing units (workload, node, cluster, developer, credits) heavily influence contract costs.

Top 10 Best Multi-Cloud Security Platforms in 2026
An editorial roundup of the ten best multi-cloud security platforms for 2026, split between CNAPPs (Wiz, Prisma Cloud) and cloud-networking security (Aviatrix).
The article frames multi-cloud security as two markets: CNAPP platforms (Wiz, Prisma Cloud, CrowdStrike, Orca, Defender) securing what runs in clouds, and cloud-networking-security platforms (Aviatrix) securing how clouds connect. It ranks ten platforms including Palo Alto Prisma Cloud for breadth, Wiz for correlation, Check Point CloudGuard, Fortinet, Aviatrix, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Trend Micro, and CrowdStrike. It flags the ~$32 billion Google–Wiz acquisition as raising cloud-neutrality questions buyers should address contractually.
