An Engineer’s Journey from Heavy Runtime Agents to Agentless, and a Hybrid Future
Cloud security architecture rarely begins with a grand design. More often, it evolves through necessity, one decision at a time, shaped by scale, cost, and the operational realities of modern cloud environments. Looking back, that evolution follows a familiar path. It’s a journey many cloud security engineers have taken, divided into three distinct generations, each […]
