For many years, the U.S. government was hesitant about moving data and applications to the public cloud. Concerns around security were prevalent. Today, cloud has become a central proposition of IT spend in government institutions. With the government urging federal agencies to move to the cloud for its agility, scalability, and cost efficiency, those agencies need access to FedRAMP®-authorized vendors.

The cloud has a lot going for it, and one of the most significant advantages it has brought to the table is data storage. For businesses, this surplus of cheap and scalable cloud storage combined with the many new innovations in cloud computing has the potential to boost productivity, reduce expenses, and simplify operations. In the marketing industry, cloud computing already benefits companies of all sizes.

Summer is almost over but we are bringing the heat back with the official release of Tigera’s new container security features. With this official launch, Calico leads the industry by offering a complete line of solutions across every stage of a cloud-native application CI/CD pipeline.

One of the benefits of a secure access service edge (SASE) framework is that organizations can dramatically simplify the implementation of security services without having to go through constant network redesigns and appliance operating system updates.

Cloud computing has created the most profound shift in information technology in recent memory. Leveraging cloud technology, companies can build, deploy, and scale their applications faster than ever. But the adoption of cloud native tools and processes also brings new security challenges. Between complex cloud infrastructure and the expansion of cloud-based services, malicious actors have access to a bigger attack surface than they did even a few years ago.

Cloud-based SIEM, long a forward-looking topic, is here and now. In fact, advanced organizations will spend 27% more on cloud cybersecurity as a percentage of IT spending in 2022 vs. 2021 as they expand their use of cloud providers, services, and integrations with other technologies. There are a myriad of benefits to conducting security operations on a cloud-based platform.

When you’re looking to secure your applications, you need to keep a few things in mind. You want to make sure that your software security vendor is a fully-Saas vendor you access in the cloud. That way you benefit from scalability, peer benchmarking, and more. Here’s what to look for in an application security testing solution that you can access in the cloud while supporting cloud-native development. Plus, you’ll learn why cloud-based trumps on-premises solutions.

Now that we’ve explored the familiar form of SaaS file sharing, let’s compare it to the very different ways that storage objects in IaaS/PaaS clouds are shared (e.g., Amazon S3 buckets, Azure blobs, Google Cloud storage). All of these objects begin with a much more controlled default. Only the owner of the object has access—the opposite of the starting point for SaaS.
