‘Shadow data’ is creeping into multicloud

Patrick Nelson — Mon, 01 Aug 2022 20:45:33 +0000

Why an AI-machine learning combo is the best approach for multicloud

Patrick Nelson — Mon, 01 Aug 2022 20:15:29 +0000

Security has become a data problem, explained an executive tasked with defending multicloud environments for large companies. “The attack surface grows [using multiple clouds],” said David Hatfield (pictured), co-chief executive officer at Lacework Inc. “It’s different when you’re securing a data center or device where you have a very fixed asset and you kind of put things […]

Multicloud requires strategy, not just adding more clouds

Patrick Nelson — Mon, 01 Aug 2022 19:41:41 +0000

Analytics at scale and other drilled-down leveraging of the major cloud providers’ platforms is the basic premise behind the most recent of cloud adjectives. The tag is “supercloud,” and it’s all about concealing base-layer complications, but at the same time revealing the advantages of using combined, multiple cloud platforms — such as churning analytics across […]

CrowdStrike uses zero-trust holistic approach to enhance ‘threat hunting’

Brian Njuguna — Fri, 29 Jul 2022 21:30:26 +0000

The zero-trust concept boosts protection by deploying least-privilege access at endpoints, eliminating assumed trust. By deploying a substantial library centered on indicators of attack, CrowdStrike Inc. boosts threat hunting across the cloud. This becomes a reality through a zero-trust narrative that makes anomalies or anomalous behavior visible, according to Geoff Swaine (pictured), global vice president of […]

Illumio co-founder talks security tactics: Stop cyber disasters before they happen

Victor Dabrinze — Fri, 29 Jul 2022 21:01:49 +0000

A major current theme in enterprise computing is the compartmentalization of security approaches, where enterprises and security teams set escalating parameters for managing breaches. In essence, making it such that penetrating the first layer doesn’t deal damage to critical workloads and/or result in the theft of crucial data. The idea works very much like that […]

Inside Snyk’s developer-centric cloud security solution

Betsy Amy-Vogt — Fri, 29 Jul 2022 20:30:18 +0000

As companies demand ever faster innovation and productivity from their development teams, security has become the bottleneck impeding progress. Shift-left has thrown everything on the developers’ plate, and the load is requiring trade-offs. Sacrificing quality for speed is never a good trade-off, but then neither is losing competitive advantage because another company got market share […]

Majority of decision-makers prioritize performance over security, says F5 report

Betsy Amy-Vogt — Fri, 29 Jul 2022 15:48:50 +0000

Which is more important: Security or performance? As security spend constantly tops information security budgets, the answer should be obvious. Surprisingly (and disconcertingly) it’s not. According to cybersecurity consultant and services provider F5 Inc.’s “2022 State of Application Strategy Report,” three-quarters of information technology decision-makers place performance above security, saying they turn off safeguards if […]

Aviatrix optimizes cloud network security with ‘security everywhere’ approach

Brian Njuguna — Thu, 28 Jul 2022 20:15:35 +0000

Treating network security as an add-on or bolt-on is the wrong approach, because it should be part of the architecture, according to Steve Mullaney (pictured), president and chief executive officer of Aviatrix. By integrating network security into the architecture’s fabric, Aviatrix Systems Inc. eliminates the notion of security being a checkpoint that can be pinpointed, because it […]

Baffle uses proxy architecture to propel data as the next security frontier

Brian Njuguna — Wed, 27 Jul 2022 21:16:02 +0000

Since compliance is driving data owners to adopt data-centric protection measures, security should be incorporated into data pipelines because it is no longer a watchdog. Whenever data is being processed, it is exposed to threats. Therefore, Baffle Inc. uses standard encryption algorithms to protect data as soon as it’s created, building security into the data […]

Cequence Security’s six steps to unified API security

Betsy Amy-Vogt — Wed, 27 Jul 2022 16:17:08 +0000

Application programming interfaces enable applications to communicate, making users able to access what they want, where they want, when they want from the nebulous “nowhere and everywhere” of the cloud. Without APIs, cloud computing as we know it wouldn’t exist. They are so pervasive that API calls constitute 83% of all web traffic. But this […]
