Abstract: Techniques for generating and utilizing investigative playbooks for cloud security events are described. Activity is detected indicative of a potential compromise in association with a resource of a multi-tenant cloud provider network. API calls originated by a client are determined to utilize API methods that exist within a set of known API methods included in a formal model of attack tactics. Responsive to both the detection and the determination, an investigative playbook is executed, based on the activity, that includes multiple logical tests to generate an attack report that can be presented to a user such as a security analyst for use in investigating cloud security events.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to compositions, methods, regimens, and kits for improving the appearance of the skin by applying acetyl trifluoromethylphenyl valylglycine and at least one peeling agent to the skin.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition to combat skin aging, particularly on the neck, includes a blend of skin actives comprising at least the combination of glaucine, retinol and a blend of peptides.
