Cloud Unfiltered with Marc Prioleau - Complexity of Collaborative Mapping - Episode 10

Marc Prioleau of the Overture Maps Foundation discussed the solution and the how and why of how it came to be. Mapping is critical in so many areas and we take for granted how dynamic we expect it to be. This cloud based, open source solution answers the question on how companies can share and contribute to mapping data.

Breaking the Cloud to Build the Cloud

There’s no such thing as a perfectly secure cloud environment. Vulnerabilities, holes left open by misconfigurations, over-permissive roles, and more create a target-rich environment for attackers. Breaking the cloud for good is the job of these expert hackers. View this panel session to learn about offensive security techniques and tactics for breaking the cloud to build the cloud better.

We discussed the types of threats unique to the cloud and the broad benefits that CDR systems offer to organizations aiming to secure their cloud environments. This follow-up takes us deeper into some of the challenges that arise with detecting and responding to threats in the cloud.

5 Best Open Source Application Security Security Tools in 2024

As cybersecurity becomes increasingly important in software development, the “shift left” security approach is widely recognized as a best practice for ensuring superior application security. Numerous traditional security firms are introducing shift-left products and capabilities, and the concept is gaining traction. However, some open source application security tools are more developer-friendly than others.

The What and Why of Cloud Detection and Response

A recent survey from Gartner forecasts that worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services will total $679 billion in 2024, and that number is expected to jump to $1 trillion in 2027. Businesses left and right are moving to the cloud. But as they make their move, the old ways of protecting data—like building a virtual wall around your data (“perimeter security”)—are proving inadequate.
