It's no surprise that organizations are moving to the cloud to innovate — to meet the growing demands of their customers and digital transformation. Organizations want to build applications that are fast and scalable. They want to make use of the latest cloud-native capabilities like containers, orchestrators, microservices, APIs, and declarative infrastructure. However, this also means security in the cloud cannot be an afterthought.

Digital and cloud transformation has unlocked new business opportunities and operational efficiencies for organisations. But migration to the cloud also means our approach to deploying applications and services has radically changed, as enterprises move away from traditional data centres. Likewise, flexible working means users have also moved away from traditional offices and branches.

In July 2022, we announced Snyk Cloud, extending the Snyk developer security platform to secure application and infrastructure configurations in running cloud environments. Today, we’re thrilled to introduce a new feature of Snyk Cloud that enables you to "fix cloud issues in IaC" (infrastructure as code), making Snyk Cloud the first solution to secure the cloud through code with remediation paths in IaC.

Amazon Security Lake automatically centralizes an organization’s security data from cloud, on-premises, and custom sources it into a purpose-built data lake stored in a customer’s AWS account. Amazon Security Lake reduces the complexity and costs for customers to make their security solutions data accessible to address a variety of security use cases such as threat detection, investigation, and incident response.

Over its history Netskope has delivered many tools to integrate its various solutions and findings with Microsoft products. We have built multiple integrations with Azure Active Directory, Azure Sentinel, Azure Monitor, and Azure Blob and Compute. All of these are very helpful in unlocking base or advanced functionality to augment Microsoft solutions.

The efficiency, security, and scalability of cloud operations are driving financial institutions’ adoption of the technology faster than ever before. The ability to meet customers where they want to transact, personalize solutions, and leverage new data and analytics solutions (including AI) on-demand is driving this growth. In fact, according to Accenture, the banking industry's workloads in the cloud more than doubled from 2021 to 2022.

Cloud computing has made its way to organizations’ IT infrastructure strategy rapidly over the past few years. In particular, Canadian businesses are showing an increased adoption. This article decodes how Canada’s IT infrastructure shaped up in the last decade, why data sovereignty is now a hot topic, and what the future holds for the cloud. While on-premises IT infrastructure continues to be relevant even today, both SMBs and enterprises are now embracing the cloud more than ever.

Snyk recently hosted a half-day virtual event focused on security for application workloads running on AWS (you can catch it on demand here). The event was broken into six sessions spanning topics like developer challenges in cloud-native AppDev, top vulnerabilities from last year, hands-on workshops with industry-leading technology vendors, and several other subjects that help enable engineering and security teams to build a successful DevSecOps workflow.
