Security Challenges in the Cloud: Solving for Visibility and Protection Across Architectures

Avatar photoBy: DevOps.com on July 26, 2019 Leave a Comment

With the rise of cloud native applications, IT organizations in the never-ending pursuit of increased agility have now started to embrace new platforms at faster rates than ever before. There are now no less than three distinct layers of cloud native abstractions that are simultaneously being employed to run varying classes of cloud native application workloads that, unfortunately, are largely managed and secured in isolation from one another.

The first and most commonly used form of cloud computing essentially involved shifting virtual machines that were once deployed exclusively in on-premises IT environments to shared public infrastructure such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure. A second phase of cloud native computing is now being defined by the rise of containers, which provide developers with a smaller, highly portable unit of computing that can be deployed on premises or on a public cloud. A third phase of cloud native computing based on serverless computing frameworks is also starting to emerge. Serverless computing frameworks promise to make it simpler for developers to dynamically invoke additional IT infrastructure resources for a short amount of time whenever required.

Organizations will collaboratively employ all three of these abstractions to run multiple classes of application workloads. However, the increased flexibility comes with a price. Managing and securing all the different layers of abstraction on which application code now runs has never been more challenging.
