Cloud native technologies have the potential to truly change the way we access and secure applications, but the success of this relies on the people and processes in place to handle the roll out of these technologies. This requires appropriate leadership, and decision makers within an organisation who demonstrate robust cloud security leadership are more likely to see this filter down throughout the business.
The main priority for CISOs should then be to develop and implement both a culture and a strategy to proactively address security requirements throughout DevOps. Approaching this transition with a full lifecycle approach ensures that cloud native security is properly and effectively deployed. Companies that restructure their approach in this manner will be able to ensure that the cloud native technologies the CISOs, or other leaders, are planning to implement, can be used to their full potential.
The old approach
Cybersecurity used to be handled late in the production rollout cycle, often as the final step, which could slow processes down considerably. Indeed, this approach often caused large delays to the timeline for applications to move from development to live. The reason for this is that each team would be working in a siloed manner to ensure that they met their responsibilities, be it security, compliance or operations, and then only coming together at the end.
However, this is no longer appropriate, and responsibility must be shared much more widely across organisations, especially with regard to security decisions for cloud native applications. As they roll out these modern technologies, CISOs must consider the impact that they can have on their organisations’ security and compliance postures. There are many benefits that cloud native technologies br ..
