Protecting Your Cloud-Native Environment — The State Of Single-, Multi-, And Hybrid-Cloud Security | An Imperva Story With Kunal Anand And Mitch Ashley

With the cloud computing revolution, everything seems to be — and, in many cases, certainly is — more accessible to business and their innovations. But, as we often say, the fundaments of cybersecurity best practices remain, and we cannot allow the race for more to lower our security postures.

There is a delicate balance between the urge for business growth, the inevitability of becoming part of the ever-flowing innovation river, and the security mindset that must always be part of the new processes.

We have decades of industry knowledge that's been built up across generations of IT and InfoSec professionals, yet, for some reason, we abandon best practices when we spin up the cloud.

There's a great foundation created, and people entering the field should recognize and understand that there are 20-30 years (or more) of information security learnings that can be drawn upon to better secure these environments. Networks are still networks. Applications are still applications. Databases are still databases. Basic principles still apply.

Maybe the moral of this story is to build security, not apply it as an afterthought or process. Perhaps you will learn something else and think about your cloud-enabled business' present and future.

Join us for this conversation as our guests — technologist and innovator Kunal Anand and technology and industry analyst Mitch Ashley — take us on a journey down the river and through the multi- and hybrid clouds as we look at the past and present and future of cloud services and information security.
