Keynote: Cloud Native Security Market Trends and Drivers

Cloud native application security solutions need to protect and provide visibility and enforcement from code to deployment to test all the way into the cloud runtime environment, be technostic, and application aware.

• Cloud migration journeys are accelerating and increasing for many organizations
• Applications are increasingly becoming containerized and the tech stack for cloud native applications is continuing to evolve
• Organizations are faced with three primary challenges around Cloud Security: more entities to secure, entities are changing more quickly, and there is no one single Cloud pattern
• Successful organizations focus on three fundamental areas: security as a full life cycle thing, technostic stack, and application aware
• A good Cloud native application security solution needs to protect and provide visibility and enforcement from code to deployment to test all the way into the cloud runtime environment, be technostic, and application aware

Applications are increasingly becoming containerized and the tech stack for cloud native applications is continuing to evolve. Containerization is a huge part of that tech stack but it's not the only form factor that organizations are using. Across the cloud, there are different kinds of permutations of containerization, things that are running like a classic container on top of a Kubernetes cluster, but also things that might be more specific to a given cloud provider that leverages more of their cloud provider specific technologies to allow you to run containers in a more on-demand fashion. Of course, you have serverless functions as well, both things that are based on open-source frameworks as well as serverless technologies that are proprietary to individual Cloud providers. And increasingly, there's even overlap between those where you can see serverless platforms that can take a container image and execute that on that serverless platform and similarly other technologies that kind of bring things the up way where you can take a serverless function and execute that in a self-managed environment that might run on Kubernetes.

Securing your Code to Cloud journey is a daunting task. Applications are spread across multiple cloud platforms, they are highly portable and ephemeral. As the attack surface is increased and there are many attack vectors throughout the application’s lifecycle, tune into this keynote to hear about the latest market requirements and learn about the anatomy of a cloud native application security solution.
