The cloud security market is still maturing and growing at a rapid pace. New security jargon, solutions, vendors, and acronyms are constantly appearing, making it difficult to have a clear sense of what approach to cloud security is best for your own organization. Cloud-native application platforms (CNAPPs) are one of the most recent categories in this space.

Ten Eleven exists to provide high-value, cyber-focused counsel, capital, and connections to brilliant security entrepreneurs. We understand the unique problems security entrepreneurs face because we’ve been there and seen what makes the difference. One of the things that experienced cyber practitioners understand is how important it is to have technologies that work in the messy existing real world, not just green field new architectures.

In recent times, the remarkable advancement of AI has revolutionized our technological landscape. Its profound benefits have not only enhanced the efficiency of our daily operations but also induced transformative shifts across industries. The impact of AI has made our lives more convenient, creating new opportunities in the digital world. Looking ahead, AI's influence promises a future full of innovation and potential.

As more organizations collectively progress toward adopting a SASE architecture, it has become clear that the traditional SASE market definition (SSE + SD-WAN) is not enough. It forces some teams to work with multiple vendors to address their specific needs, introducing performance and security tradeoffs. More worrisome, it draws focus more to a checklist of services than a vendor’s underlying architecture.

Artificial Intelligence tools such as Bard, ChatGPT, and Bing Chat are the current big names in the Large Language Model (LLM) category which is on the rise. LLMs are trained on vast data sets to be able to communicate by using everyday human language as a chat prompt. Given the flexibility and potential of LLMs, companies are integrating them into many workflows inside the tech industry to make our lives better and easier.

Protecting cloud-based applications and workloads requires robust security solutions such as CSPM, CIEM and CWPP. CNAPP tries to answer all 3 but how do you know which solution is right for your specific organization? Ava Chawla, AlgoSec’s Global Head of Cloud Security unravels the differences between them and shares her expert opinion on the solution that offers the most value for organizations.

Left to their own devices, your organization’s devices can be a significant source of risk. Consider operational technology (OT), which is crucial for organizations but is not engineered and operated with a security-first mindset. Often, OT systems are beyond the purview of CISOs and are focused on meeting key objectives for system uptime and efficiency – leaving them vulnerable.

Criminal threat actors are increasingly utilizing generative AI tools like ChatGPT to launch social engineering attacks, according to researchers at Check Point. “Malicious spam is one of the oldest illicit services found on underground cybercrime forums,” the researchers write. “Spam is the most common initial vector for various attack scenario objectives such as phishing and credential harvesting, malware distribution, scams/fraud, etc.
