SecurityWeek Webinar on Cloud Security Complexity and Agentless SideScanning Technology

What you'll learn

• Lower cost – The cloud offers many excellent benefits: rightsizing, downsizing, scalability, elasticity, and a relatively lower cost of security. Cser estimates if you use cloud-based workloads, the cost of protecting them is 30% less compared to on-premises or private cloud.
• Line of businesses procuring cloud services can cause blind spots – VPs often approve departmental expenses for some kind of cloud services, but then no one knows where they are, what data they contain, how they’re operated, or what security holes might exist.
• CISOs cannot say no all the time – CISOs have to be enablers because they have to work with DevOps, cloud compliance, cloud orchestration, cloud architecture, and security platform teams. They can’t just say, ‘Oh, well, we can’t go to the cloud,’ then block the entire transition.
• The cloud changes all the time – This is a massive problem. Even if one decides to check all the boxes and secure everything, chances are that developers are finding ways to onboard new services that also have to be secured. Many times, this is not possible.
• Regulatory compliance is unrelenting – With HIPAA, GLBA, SOC, ISO, and country-specific mandates, regulations change nonstop. Few can keep up on their own. For end-user organizations, vendors increasingly provide best practices and policy templates to meet such regulatory requirements.
• Agent-based security versus agentless – Some organizations want agents; others don’t. We’re seeing an increasing number of organizations say, ‘Look, there’s this sprawl of agents; let’s try to centralize, unify, and consolidate those agent frameworks.’ And that is very hard to do.
