The onus on companies in almost every industry to roll out new products and services quickly is greater than ever in the digital age. To achieve this, companies are increasingly leaning on cloud services - particularly cloud-native environments - to allow them to scale at rapid pace.
However, scaling IT infrastructure can bring new types of security risks with it. Cybercriminals are looking to take advantage of the larger attack surface cloud infrastructures can offer, looking towards vulnerabilities within APIs, containers, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), and microservices to disrupt, infiltrate, and exploit organizations.
As a result, many companies are exploring how they can use a DevSecOps approach, leveraging continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD), to ensure the security of their cloud infrastructures throughout the development lifecycle.
To discuss these challenges, as well as some possible solutions, Will McCurdy, Content Editor at National Technology News was joined by James Brotsos, product manager at CheckMarx and James Ferguson, Senior Solutions Architect at Amazon AWS.
