For a long time now, security has been the number one roadblock for organizations considering a move to the cloud. Once large enterprises started moving their entire infrastructure to the cloud, people started asking questions about security. What to secure, where the vulnerabilities are, and who’s responsible for what? The information gap for such a significant business development is alarming.

On June 19, Alaska Airlines Director of Network and Connectivity Solutions, Brian Talbert, Former Symantec CEO, Enrique Salem, Dimension Data Cyber Security Evangelist, Ami Hofman and ShieldX VP of Product Management, John Parker teamed up to answer the industry’s most critical questions on secure cloud migration best practices and more.

DATA DISCOVERY: DATA IS EVERYWHERE, KNOW AND PROTECT YOUR DATA

Digital evolution is driving net new challenges for data security. In this rapidly evolving digital world, data is not clearly defined, structured or secured. Today’s businesses continue to be agile and adapt new technologies, like cloud services, to meet the demands of customers. While collecting, storing and protecting data might look like standard operating procedures in legacy environments, businesses often overlook proper data safeguards in the new technology world, especially in the case of non-critical data.

The ShieldX Serverless Security Philosophy

Serverless architecture, also known as Function as a Service (FaaS), presents new challenges for securing applications built using this architecture.  FaaS is an event-driven architecture in which a small piece of code is executed on an API call or message.  Various cloud vendors support multi-language (Java, Javascript, python, C#, etc.) FaaS to make it very easy for developers to use.  Additionally, FaaS is attractive for economy and maintenance reasons because the cost is based on the execution time and users don’t have to worry about regular maintenance of web-servers or shared resources. But the architecture introduces challenges in terms of how and where to enforce security controls.

Cloud Security Without Compromise
by Bret BrassoBusiness

According to the Telegraph, “65% of large businesses reported a cyber breach or attack in the past 12 months. Yet nine out of 10 businesses don’t even have an incident management plan in the event of a cyber breach.”*

We are in the midst of an accelerating technology shift from traditional on-premise solutions to the cloud. As such, there is growing demand to secure migrating workloads, data and assets.  But do IT organizations have the right solutions and the will to catch up and meet this challenge head on?

Buzzword Assimilation—Understanding the APEIRO Innovation
by Bret BrassoTechnology

“More than 75% of businesses are planning to implement multi-cloud architectures within the next 2 years (2018–2019).” 1

 Yet “as much as 74%” of ESG surveyed professionals “abandon their traditional security controls because they are ineffective in the cloud environments” 2 they have – or are planning for.

THE INNOVATION

Since our inception, we’ve worked to create a security solution that natively secures today’s modern enterprise IT infrastructure. One that stops forcing IT teams to slow down performance, application development and cloud adoption, or face taking on more risk and cost. Our solution? The first containerized, microservices platform for multi-cloud security.

Why You Need Advanced Micro-Segmentation to Combat Advanced Attacks
by John ParkerTechnology

Just as we learned thirty years ago, access control alone is not a sufficient defense, by itself. Or, to put it another way, it’s déjà vu all over again! Just as the access control provided by those first firewalls in the 1980s was not enough to secure the perimeter, micro-segmentation based on access control alone does not adequately solve the problem of lateral movement inside the multi-cloud.
