Secure cloud, containers, and endpoints with one unified solution. Find and remove critical risks in your modern attack surface—from laptops to containers—all from a single UI and data model.

“Devoutly agentless” cloud security vendors are reversing course and touting agent-based security — what’s really going on?

In an Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) survey about the challenges of marrying security tools from multiple vendors, 46% of respondents cited a “strain on their organization’s resources.”

Watch ESG’s leading endpoint and cloud security analysts, Melinda Marks and Dave Gruber, along with Kevin Paige, Uptycs’ CISO and 3X customer, as we dive into market dynamics, challenges, and solutions for securing your modern attack surface.

Less Drama, Better Security Data: Unifying Your Cloud and EDR Solutions

Cloud computing delivers the benefits of accelerated development without the hardware costs. But the dynamic nature of cloud services and the proprietary security features offered by different cloud service providers make it challenging for customers to manage the risks and to be sure they are meeting security and compliance obligations. Most organizations need some form of guardrails and ways to respond to suspicious behavior.

Join cloud security experts from KuppingerCole Analysts and Uptycs as they discuss the challenges of the shared responsibility model for cloud security and compliance, examine the range of ways available for dealing with the problem, and consider the benefits of cloud security posture management (CSPM) and cloud-native application protection platform.

Mike Small, Senior Analyst at KuppingerCole will describe the major risks in the way organizations use cloud services. He will also explain why cloud services need dynamic rather than static controls, list the tools that aim to manage these risks, and outline what to expect from a CSPM solution.

Andre Rall, Director of Cloud Security at Uptycs will describe the benefits of integrating security insights, of standardizing controls and policies, of taking charge of third-party code and resources, and of removing silos by using a single platform, data model, and user interface.

Cloud Security Early Warning Systems: From CSPM to CNAPP

Using Osquery Extension to Detect Java Vulnerabilities at Scale

Threat actors quantify the time and expense required to attack your organization. Security Operations teams ought to be able to do the same through threat modeling and appropriate controls. Thanks to osquery-powered visibility, SEI was able to quantify the value of its security operations. The SEI team uses osquery at scale to assess what threats they have faced in the past, are facing, and are likely to face in the future. Osquery also plays an important role in helping the SEI team to develop controls for those threats.

How to use eBPF telemetry for Linux security detections

In this session Raja Jasper, SOC Manager at a financial institution and Saurabh Wadhwa, a Senior Solutions Engineer at Uptycs, discuss how to use osquery and MITRE ATT&CK to build sophisticated detections based on behavior, rather than IOCs. Detections based on behaviors tell a story and provide analysts a lot more context, plus they are more troublesome for attackers to avoid. Osquery gathers the endpoint telemetry needed to build these types of detections. Raja and Saurabh demonstrate how to use osquery to build a behavior-based detection using Emotet malware as an example.

Bias in AI

The golden thread ties rich security data across your developer laptops, source code repositories, identity providers, and into your cloud infrastructure - all within a single platform and data model. This correlation across attack surfaces serves as an early warning system to protect your environment before it’s too late. 

When a threat actor compromises a laptop or source code repository as an entry point, reducing time to detection is vital to carving out malicious files and blocking further lateral movement. With Uptycs support for SaaS (Github) and identity (Okta) providers, coverage is extended across the entire development lifecycle to provide end to end detection from laptop to cloud. 

Join Crystal Poenisch, Senior PMM for Cloud Security, and Andre Rall, Director of Cloud Security, to learn how to weave the golden thread throughout your environment and identify malicious activity early. Together, we’ll walk through a golden thread that correlates a hacker's activity from a developer's laptop as they enumerate credentials and continue hunting for crown jewels through Github, Okta, and eventually AWS.

Threat Correlation from Laptop to Cloud

Modern cyber attacks are on the rise, and attackers are targeting the development process itself. The reason: developer laptops often operate in an insecure environment, and their repositories and templates are inadequately protected.

So… how can we continue to unify #DevSecOps teams, and protect the entire app dev pipeline?

Join us for an exclusive live panel discussion featuring cloud expert and author, Lee Atchison, an authority in securing the pipeline.
