Navigating complex cloud networks with multiple clouds while ensuring secure and reliable access to workloads can be daunting. That’s why Netskope and AWS have teamed up to simplify this journey and make it a lot easier. Through the integration of Netskope Borderless SD-WAN with AWS Cloud WAN, teams can automate workload access from any remote site and user laptop, deliver a secure, reliable, flexible, and highly available middle-mile network service leveraging the AWS global network.

On Wednesday, October 18, 2023, we discovered attacks on our system that we were able to trace back to Okta – threat actors were able to leverage an authentication token compromised at Okta to pivot into Cloudflare’s Okta instance. While this was a troubling security incident, our Security Incident Response Team’s (SIRT) real-time detection and prompt response enabled containment and minimized the impact to Cloudflare systems and data.

The integration of cloud-native technologies like Kubernetes with public cloud platforms like Amazon EKS has ushered in a new era of scalable and efficient application deployments. However, this combination brings forth unique security challenges, especially concerning container images. Enter Calico Cloud’s Image Assurance – a comprehensive tool designed to bolster the security of your containerized applications on Amazon EKS.

Today’s guest is Charles Chu, CyberArk’s General Manager of Cloud Security, who’s spent more than a decade at the forefront of cloud security. Chu joins host David Puner for a conversation that delves into secure cloud access and the concept of zero standing privileges (ZSP), a dynamic approach to securing identities in multi-cloud environments.

Amazon’s Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a popular managed Kubernetes option that allows customers to benefit from both an offloaded Kubernetes management plane, and the wide range of services that AWS offers. Managed or unmanaged, securing cluster traffic is always critical and, although AWS Security Groups can secure the cluster nodes, securing pod traffic requires something closer to the application data-path.

In today’s digital age, businesses rely heavily on technology to drive their operations efficiently and effectively. This dependence on technology has brought about new challenges and risks, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity. As organisations strive to ensure operational resilience, they must recognize the integral role of cyber resilience in safeguarding their digital assets and operations. Cyber threats have become a persistent concern for businesses of all sizes.
