Cloud Native Security Strategies for 2024

Cloud Native Security Strategies for 2024

Is having a CSPM enough for Cloud Security? At RSA Conference 2024, Ashish sat down with returning guest Jimmy Mesta, Co-Founder and CTO of RAD Security, to talk about the complexities of Kubernetes security and why sometimes traditional Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) falls short in a Kubernetes-centric world.

We speak about the significance of behavioural baselining, the limitations of signature-based detection, the role of tools like eBPF in enhancing real-time security measures and the importance of proactive security measures and the need for a paradigm shift from reactive alert-based systems to a more silent and efficient operational model.
