What Is Secure Software Development Lifecycle (Secure SDLC)?
Since the mid-2010s, teams have increasingly managed security tasks alongside development. The emergence of DevSecOps has helped organizations shift security left and incorporate security earlier in the development process, though that approach hasn’t always helped with agility and scaling. We’re looking at what secure SDLC solutions look like, including their real-world challenges. What is SDLC? […]
CIEM Explained: How Does Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management Work?
Cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) is essential for organizations to manage and secure access to the rapidly increasing number of human and machine identities in cloud environments. However, managing identities presents multiple challenges, from thorough auditing and generating compliance reports to proactively identifying and mitigating risks associated with “high-privileged” identities. In this article, we will […]
CWPP vs CSPM
Cloud security is layered, so while it sometimes seems that CSPM and CWPP are two “incomplete” parts of a total cloud security strategy, the truth is that they complement each other in a landscape where two different types of challenges lead to separate security solutions. Today, modern cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPPs) unify both layers, […]
What is a Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP)?
CWPP is a cloud security solution that protects workloads with near real-time monitoring in cloud-native and hybrid environments. We’re going beyond the basics to situate this tool in your arsenal. In a world where technological advancements have enabled both connectivity and growing numbers of cyber attacks, security tools like CWPP have evolved to help organizations […]
Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) Explained
Cloud security is evolving so rapidly that one Forbes reporter claimed it is moving like goalposts on wheels. The rapid pace of innovation paired with a tightening regulatory landscape, new technologies like AI running in the cloud, and the increasing cybersecurity risks that come with expanding attack surfaces make it difficult for organizations to ensure […]
What is Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)?
Some of the earliest cloud security solutions were cloud security posture management (CSPM). Today, modern CSPM is still a cornerstone of cloud security, but many teams worry about how they’ll integrate CSPM functions with all the other security tools their growing cloud architectures require. This article will deep dive into the role of CSPM in […]
What is CNAPP? Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform Explained
Increasingly complex cloud security threats and risks have led to a rise in cloud security tooling in recent years. However, increased tooling has also led to increased costs and manpower, leading many organizations to shift toward tool consolidation. In this article, we will dive into the rise of cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPPs), the role […]
