It’s more likely than you think. Organizations entrust more sensitive data to vendors and third parties (like government agencies and critical infrastructure operators) than ever as part of their software development and operations.
In today’s cloud-driven landscape, containerized workloads are at the heart of modern applications, driving agility, scalability, and innovation. However, as these workloads become increasingly distributed across multi-cluster, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments, the challenge of securing them grows exponentially. Traditional network security measures designed for static network boundaries are ill-suited for the dynamic nature of containerized applications.
Data. Breach. We see these two words all the time in the news, on social media, and in company emails notifying us that our information might have been affected.
Cyber threats are growing more sophisticated, covert, and frequent every day. This year alone has seen the likes of T-Mobile and PharMerica suffering serious security breaches. These incidents disrupted operations and threatened their bottom lines, not to mention the lingering aftereffects and negative brand perception in the eyes of their customers.
Cloud infrastructures can comprise thousands of interconnected and dynamic resources. This complexity introduces unique challenges to monitoring and securing these architectures. Understanding where user activity originates—and what actions constitute security threats—is a complex task when you’re dealing with the huge volume of logs, metrics, and other telemetry that highly distributed cloud environments generate each day.
The term Internet of Things (IoT) describes a network of technologies and services where various devices are interconnected and exchange data. These devices can be anything from wearable fitness trackers, smart televisions, and wireless infusion pumps to cars and many others.
