Cloud Security Operations teams have a multitude of responsibilities, including vulnerability management, threat management, security and infrastructure configuration and management, as well as incident response. Clearly, they need modern tools to help them manage and make sense of the volume of data and work across their complex environments. However, the fractured and disconnect enterprise security ecosystem makes this difficult or impossible in most environments.
Zero Trust security brings with it the possibility of applying a holistic and unified policy model across these heterogeneous environments. Zero Trust has become mainstream, even being mandated by the recent US Presidential executive statement ordering such an approach for US government agencies. So, how does Zero Trust apply to cloud SecOps environments?
In this fireside chat, two industry experts share their thoughts and insights on this topic. Attendees will learn:
• What is Zero Trust, and how does it apply to Cloud SecOps?
• Why automation is critical to a successful Zero Trust program, and even more important for Cloud SecOps
• Why Zero Trust policies are so important in cloud environments
• Ways in which workload metadata and user attributes are used in Zero Trust policies
• How organizations can implement “security as code” with a Zero Trust approach
