Architecturally speaking, cloud-native applications are broken down into smaller components that are highly dynamic, distributed, and ephemeral. Because each of these components is communicating with other components inside or outside the cluster, this architecture introduces new attack vectors that are difficult to protect against using a traditional perimeter-based approach.
In our previous blog breaking down The 5 Fundamentals of Cloud Security, we looked at the value of prevention and secure design. Mapping resource relationships and enforcing security guardrails throughout development helps greatly reduce an available attack surface. But who will enforce these guardrails when your security team is busy with other work? This should be where developers are able to step in. So let’s look at another vital element in cloud security: empowering developers.
Organizations are rapidly migrating their infrastructure to the cloud, enabling them to modernize their applications and deliver more value to their customers. But this transition creates significant security risks that they may be unable to keep pace with. For example, cyber attacks on cloud resources are becoming more sophisticated and prevalent. Additionally, organizations often rely on legacy, disjointed security tools that don’t integrate well with cloud-native infrastructure.
In this episode of TFiR Let’s Talk, Swapnil Bhartiya sits down with Sathya Sankaran, COO of Catalogic and GM of CloudCasa, to discuss in-depth how CloudCasa is supporting backup for the three major cloud providers − Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) − and the data protection challenges they are addressing.
As organizations continue to rapidly adopt cloud services, they struggle to expand network detection and response (NDR) capabilities to their hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Network visibility is critical for security operations center (SOC) teams to secure their cloud environments and ensure they can elevate threat detection and incident investigation capabilities. However, traditional NDR solutions require management, configuration and often lack the security context needed.
Keeper’s powerful Automator eliminates the repetitive task of device approval for Keeper administrators. With Keeper Automator, users will enjoy instant access to Keeper on any new device without having to wait for manual administrative approval. Now with Microsoft Azure support, administrators can deploy Keeper Automator to an Azure Container Service, providing a fully cloud hosted instance of Automator.
