Firefly

Firefly, a threat actor linked to China along with Fireant and Neeedleminer, has been implicated in cybersecurity breaches targeting telecommunications companies in at least two Asian nations. This information was revealed in an analysis published by Broadcom's Symantec cybersecurity division. These groups have utilized sophisticated tools for malicious purposes, demonstrating their capacity to compromise significant infrastructure and potentially disrupt services or gather sensitive data. In a positive development, Firefly has expanded its services to Azure, providing organizations with enhanced capabilities for cloud governance and efficiency. The platform scans cloud and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) files to identify areas lacking IaC coverage, thereby accelerating the adoption of IaC practices. The integration of Firefly with Azure is designed to transform cloud operations, making them more streamlined and manageable within minutes rather than months. Firefly's integration with Azure aligns with the company's broader mission to make cloud management accessible to all businesses. It offers a unified inventory for managing multiple clouds, Kubernetes (K8s), and Software as a Service (SaaS) applications. Embracing proven configuration management databases (CMDB) principles, Firefly allows users to control cloud assets as easily as physical assets. To encourage new users to experience the power of this integration, Firefly is offering a free trial. With Firefly, teams can transform their cloud operations swiftly, reducing the time and effort required to manage complex deployments.
