During RSA Conference 2023, Utpal Bhatt sat down with SiliconANGLE & theCUBE host, John Furrier, to talk cloud-native security. Watch the full interview below.
Here’s a sneak peak of what’s inside…
“Cloud-native applications have fundamentally changed how security gets done. There are a lot of challenges that cloud-native applications bring to the table, given their large attack surface. You have attack vectors in your coding, CI/CD pipeline, deployment, and runtime. And I think that’s what organizations are realizing, that hey, this is fundamentally a different kind of architecture and we need to look at it differently.” —Utpal Bhatt, CMO at Tigera
“Cloud-native applications have fundamentally changed how security gets done. And there are a lot of challenges that cloud-native applications bring to the table, which is what organizations are realizing. If you think about organizations moving into the cloud, the majority have traditionally done a lift and shift. But now they’re recognizing that in order to get the economics right, they need to start developing cloud-native technologies, which are highly distributed, ephemeral, and transient. So all your standard security tools just really don’t work in that environment because you have a really large attack surface.
Also coupled with that is all the CI/CD automation. So now you have developers checking in code, merging it, pushing it into production—and all that is happening several times a day. So you don’t have your usual controls applicable anymore. And then you have the orchestrator, like Kubernetes, deploying code all the time. So you have a lot of different types of attack vectors now. You have attack vectors in your coding, CI/CD pipeline, deployment, and runtime. And I think that’s what organizations are realizing, that hey, this is fundamentally a different kind of architecture and we need to look at it differently.”
