DevSecOps follows the same trend as Agile and DevOps: how can developers create software that’s better, faster, and less expensive? The DevSecOps motto — “software, safer, sooner” adds the missing piece to the latest approach to quicker product development. Security, previously an afterthought in the product development lifecycle, is now becoming an integral part of the process.
Cloud programs like Slack and Google Drive allow businesses to work collaboratively and efficiently, often at a low cost. However, these cloud platforms open a business up to new levels of risk: sharing information via cloud programs can put customer data at risk. Cloud security architecture provides a way to recognize and remedy vulnerabilities that result from using cloud service providers (CSPs).
Many organizations recognize the emergent need to discover, classify, and protect their sensitive information stored in cloud applications (SaaS) and infrastructure (IaaS) via a dedicated cloud content inspection process. However, cloud-native detection engines are a relatively new technology, and many corporate Information Security teams or Product Security developers are, understandably, not yet familiar with how to effectively evaluate cloud content detection.
