The Power of AI to Disrupt Security Ops

When it comes to larger or more complex organizations, managing cyber security risks requires a more intensive approach than implementing basic security protection. Embedding risk-based security controls, managing the security of supply chains, and carrying out regular audits are some of the many measures an organization may need to take to manage and reduce risk.

With the rapid rise of web application attacks, which is the number one source of data breaches, securing cloud-based web applications is a challenge. In order to fully protect your web applications in the cloud, it is important to know the risks, select the right security tool, and understand your role in the shared responsibility for security. Securing your AWS workload can mean many different things, ranging from locking down your environment via the AWS best practices list, to completely outsourcing the security management and responsibility to another company. While every company’s security journey is different, everyone can agree that the need to monitor and improve security posture is becoming increasingly important.

Cloud is the dominant computing trend of our time, and Linux is the power behind it. As enterprises continue to adopt more cloud native infrastructure, we see accelerated adoption of Linux in the form of both migrations of existing infrastructure and greenfield application deployment. Unfortunately the approach to securing this growing fleet of production servers has not evolved at the same pace.

With technological advancements taking the world by storm, almost every other company is now a software company. All these companies are slowly moving to the cloud to reduce IT investment. Whether it is delivering personalized apps, or employing software to improve internal processes or managing business transactions – it is all on the cloud. This recent expansion of technology has made the threat of cyberattacks exceedingly prevalent and more aggressive.
