Edge Security is the Key to Cloud Protection

Edge Security is the Key to Cloud Protection

How does Edge Security fit into the future of Cloud Protection ? In this episode, we sat down with Brian McHenry, Global Head of Cloud Security Engineering at Check Point at BlackHat USA, to chat about the evolving landscape of cloud security in 2024. With cloud adoption accelerating and automation reshaping how we manage security, Brian spoke to us about the challenges that organizations face today—from misconfigurations and alert fatigue to the role of AI in application security.

We tackle the question: Is CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) still enough, or do we need to rethink our approach? Brian shares his thoughts on edge security, why misconfigurations are more dangerous than ever, and how automation can quickly turn small risks into significant threats.
