Have you been worried about whether your deployment is secure? Are you tired of keeping track of all security vulnerabilities and vendor-provided patches to ensure that your exposure to such vulnerabilities is minimized? What about making sure that the certificates for your hundreds of forwarders, indexers, search heads and other Splunk connectors are not expired? You’re not alone!

RESTON, Va., July 12, 2022 – NeoSystems, a full-service strategic outsourcer, IT systems integrator and managed services provider to the government contracting market, is once again joining forces with Deltek, the leading global provider of software and solutions for project-based businesses.

AWS offers a large spectrum of services and compute. The “shared responsibility” model in cloud presents a simplified structure of organization responsibilities and cloud provider responsibilities. Generally, identity and access management (IAM), applications, and data form the dividing line, but lines blur depending on the given cloud service the organization is consuming. This is true of all cloud providers, including the AWS Shared Responsibility Model.

Organizations are moving workloads to the cloud to help keep pace with the speed of innovation. However, too often this is done without a proper plan in place to ensure that their security doesn’t fall behind. The potential financial and reputational damage, as well as the risk of lost data from a breach is massive, and that makes proper planning crucial.

What are cloud-native applications? According to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), the term “cloud native” describes systems that are specifically designed to help build and run scalable applications in all cloud environments, including public, private, and hybrid clouds. Cloud-native applications use the attributes of cloud architecture in ways that legacy systems can’t. They don’t need any onsite computing infrastructure and can scale quickly to meet demand.

Elaine Feeney is a member of the Netskope Network Visionaries advisory group. For any business, speed matters a lot. Speed of service is key to happy customers because any delays that users experience directly impact the success of the organization. Security processing that causes delays for the customers or employees has negative business impacts. Now more than ever, security controls have become a board-level priority due to elevating risks.

More organizations than ever run on Infrastructure-as-Code cloud environments. While migration brings unparalleled scale and flexibility advantages, there are also unique security and ops issues many don’t foresee. So what are the major IaC ops and security vulnerabilities? Configuration drift. Cloud config drift isn’t a niche concern. Both global blue-chips and local SMEs have harnessed Coded Infrastructure.

Cloud data security means - securing your data assets and resources running on the cloud. The adoption of cloud technologies offers flexibility and benefits that were never possible with traditional computing. For this reason, almost 83% of enterprise workloads are currently running on cloud platforms. Unfortunately, due to this radical shift, we also see a steady increase of cybercriminals focusing their efforts on compromising cloud infrastructure and data.
