Conventional wisdom has long held that achieving effective enterprise information security is, simply put, hard. And far from making things easier, the acceleration in workload migrations to the Cloud over the past few years, the rise of containerization, Cloud Native, and the increasing prevalence of hybrid- and multi-cloud deployments everywhere have complicated the security picture considerably.
So, while there is much that is new in the security domain thanks to the innovations of “Cloud Native,” and much about enterprise security practices that need to change as a result, we maintain that the principles of good cybersecurity have not radically transformed over time. Delivery mechanisms, however, have. The challenge now is to understand the security changes required by the Cloud Native context. Importantly, we believe that all of us have within our grasp the ability to achieve the cyber defense posture we need. This session explores how we can go from “Security Fear and Loathing” to “Security Confidence.”
