Common Cloud-Native Security Misconfigurations & Solutions

Cloud configuration errors are a significant concern for stakeholders invested in modern DevOps processes, thanks to the quantity of cloud-native software used in production environments these days (think of microservices, as well as serverless and containerized workloads such as Kubernetes). Misconfigured cloud environments can result in everything from poor performance, to system downtime, to data breaches. Cloud-native architectures mean the introduction of new attack surfaces. Complex architectures with various network stack components can be involved…

Top 5 CNAPP-Solved Security Challenges

Traditionally, runtime security and development security have been treated as separate problems. Cloud-native application security programs consisted of many different tools, each with its own objective, control panel, and view of risk. These tools were mainly event-driven—they would only initiate scans when alerts were raised. This approach limited the sharing of data and did not facilitate the remediation of vulnerable application components in a simple, prioritized, and frictionless way that meets the security, speed, and…
