Organizations are moving to multi-cloud environments in droves, largely because the cloud is fast, agile and powerful. But is it secure? Inherently —
no.
Where does the responsibility for code vulnerabilities lie, and how can cybersecurity leaders address these vulnerabilities? Find tools for determining the security of code and mitigating cyber risk in your organization.
Incidents tend to happen at the seams and cracks of your organization, where the automation is incomplete, observability is not omniscient, and humans are still in the loop. Our blind spots are constantly evolving, and we must update our mental models of how to approach security accordingly.
With more than a hundred continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) tools to choose from and hundreds of plugins and services connected to those tools, no wonder security teams have a hard time grasping the amount of information and security requirements of these environments.
App security is too important to be an afterthought. With the threats facing modern web applications, organizations need to find a new way to ensure protection without impeding innovation. To move forward, security and DevOps will need to work together to solve the challenges they face—in terms of both security and organizational politics.
The traditional approach to securing cloud access goes against everything that DevOps is about. Regardless of what providers of legacy IAM, PAM, and other security solutions claim about their ability to scale with cloud application dev cycles, they’re concealing the extensive time, effort, and resources required to manage their solutions – three things that are in short supply in DevOps teams. So, the challenge becomes: how can enterprises integrate world class technologies for securing identities and access to cloud environments without bringing DevOps to a grinding halt?
In a paper released recently, “An integrated cyber approach to your cloud migration strategy,” Deloitte explores how an integrated cloud-cyber strategy enables organizations to use cyber as a differentiator, and outlines how cybersecurity teams must adapt.
