Driving Cloud Change in 2024: Trends to Know

The difficulties of securing data in cloud-native applications are many, for example:
• There exists a proliferation of data islands, complicating the creation of a unified cloud security view;
• As microservices are created, evolved, and removed, those islands can remain unused—yet still pose a risk to you;
• Propagation and caching of sensitive data between microservices can result in compliance blindness.

That’s not to mention the variety of data storage formats with which IT pros must contend and protect (such as file, object, block, and SQL). Let’s hit the reset button, shall we?

Join us in this Fireside Chat at the Data Security Risks and Challenges BrightTALK Summit to discover 5 principles—based on the basics—with which you can improve cloud-native app security and to see how CNAPP solutions are making a real difference. Tim Miller, Technical Marketing Engineer at Outshift by Cisco joins the discussion with Enterprise Strategy Group analysts.

Revisiting Cloud Security: Managing Spend and Risk

After the success and interest in our first cyber myth busting episode, we’re bringing a second instalment to this topic - answering your hot questions, and diving into common cyber misconceptions.

In this special episode of The (Security) Balancing Act, Diana Kelley and cyber experts will sit down, and deep dive into the common cyber myths.

 What misconceptions drive you crazy? Bring your best myths and join Diana Kelley and guests as we decipher common cyber myths in a bid to clear up the confusion.

Blasting Cyber Myths: Part Two

Cybersecurity is so often focused on securing enterprise infrastructures from external threats – for good reason. Cyber attacks are always evolving alongside security protocols, so organizations must stay vigilant. Yet when so many resources are devoted to protecting operations from the outside, it is easy to leave yourself at risk of another kind of attack: insider threats. In fact, a 2023 study from Cybersecurity Insiders found that 74% of organizations are at least moderately vulnerable to insider threats.

Insider threats require an entirely different security approach, especially as they bring up an entirely new problem: accidental or unintentional threats. Not all internal damage is done maliciously, with many incidences tied more to human error than criminal intent. The Ponemon’s Institute’s “2022 Cost of Insider Threats Global Report” found that over half of insider threats (56%) came from employee or contractor negligence. Creating an internally secure environment for your organization therefore requires a multi-pronged strategy that can protect against both intentional and unintentional attacks.

In this episode of CISO Insights, series hosts Dan Lohrmann and Earl Duby will be joined by security experts to break down what it takes to tackle insider threats.

From Inside the House: Tackling Intentional & Unintentional Insider Threats

As more organizations adopt microservices, containers, Kubernetes, and serverless architectures, the complexity of their IT environments continues to grow, creating an expanded attack surface. Given the dynamic and complex nature of cloud-native environments, how confident are you in your development and security teams' ability to identify and prioritize the most significant security risks and remediate vulnerabilities in a timely manner to reduce the risk of a security breach? 
 
To secure cloud-native applications, organizations use multiple tools from different vendors. However, these tools are often not developer-friendly, creating a fragmented view of risk. This results in an excessive number of alerts that can waste developers' time and delay remediation efforts.
 
Join this fireside chat to learn why you need an end-to-end cloud application security solution in today’s dynamic and complex multi-cloud environment. And why it’s essential to address the most significant risks first, reducing the risk of a breach and saving valuable time and resources when time is of the essence.
 
Key takeaways:
 
• Improve Visibility: Gain real-time insights into security issues across cloud assets to reduce compliance violations and expedite deployment of cloud-native apps.
• Contextualize Risks: Prioritize vulnerabilities that can have the most significant impact on cloud apps.
• Enable Security through Collaboration: Prioritize vulnerabilities through collaboration among teams to develop effective remediation plans.

How to Prioritize Critical Vulnerabilities to Protect Your Cloud Applications

Video: How to Prioritize Critical Vulnerabilities to Protect Cloud Applications

Context is critical as IT professionals are tasked with making sense of vulnerabilities in a cloud-native world. For example, vulnerabilities can happen at any point in the app development cycle (CNAPP), and security pros are staring down the tunnel of information overload with unceasing alerts.

With so much on their plates, how can these pros dial into the security vulnerabilities that are a must-tackle and protect their cloud-native environments?

ESG Senior Analyst Melinda Marks sits down with Papi Menon, VP of Product Management, Emerging Technologies & Incubation at Cisco Panoptica, to discuss this topic and explain:

•        Context is critical: why does vulnerability matter?
•        How Cisco’s Panoptica helps secure your cloud journey
•        Why a trusted partner like Cisco matters in your cloud security

Context is Critical: Making Sense of Vulnerabilities in a Cloud-Native World

The Global Cloud-native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) Market size is expected to reach $21.2 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 18.6% CAGR. Adopting cloud-native architectures can significantly reduce IT costs, improve operational efficiency, and increase development speed and agility—although, they also introduce security risks, such as vulnerabilities in containers, microservices, and APIs. 

Implementing the proper security measures in this context requires a cloud-native security approach, in which solutions are purpose-built for cloud environments and can leverage automation and machine learning to detect and respond to security threats in real-time. 

Watch this exclusive Fireside Chat with experts from Cisco and BrightTALK to discover the key to unlocking cloud-native application modernization in today’s sprawling environments, alongside a discussion on how to formulate a cloud-native app security protection plan.

Gaining Insight Into GitOps

"If there has been a single dominant topic of discussion in 2023, it has to be the rapid rise of generative AI. New developments in the technology have drawn mass attention and it seems like everyone is trying to figure out how best to deploy generative AI in their own organizations. This presents a great opportunity to optimize existing machine learning efforts and automate operations even further – but it also opens the door to dangerous gaps in governance. Without the right protocols, companies can become vulnerable to a host of problems, from data loss and increased attack surface area to copyright issues and misinformation. 

The technology is so new that many organizations won’t yet have clear policies in place around the use of generative AI. And while there are licensed, regulated generative AI tools available, many people are currently using the vast array of free apps that have not been scrutinized from a compliance standpoint. How can teams take advantage of these new opportunities created by generative AI, while maintaining their standards of security and governance? How can teams protect themselves from the risks of shadow IT and create clear governance policies?

Tune into this latest episode of CISO Insights to hear Dan Lohrmann, Earl Duby and guest experts discuss how to govern data and balance the dual threat and opportunity of generative AI.
