The Maturation of Cloud-native Security: Securing Modern Apps and Infrastructure

How an integrated defense-in-depth platform fills gaps in inconsistencies, misconfigurations and visibility

More than ever, organizations are grappling with how to secure cloud-native applications. Composed of a combination of containers, virtual machines, APIs and serverless functions, protecting these applications from development to runtime requires reworking the approach many organizations take toward security.

In a new survey from CrowdStrike and Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), 88% of respondents said their cybersecurity program needs to evolve to secure their cloud-native applications and use of public cloud infrastructure, with many citing challenges around maintaining visibility and consistency across disparate environments.

Join ESG’s VP and Group Director of Cybersecurity Doug Cahill and CrowdStrike’s Cloud Security Product Marketing Leader David Puzas as they examine the cloud-native threat landscape and the need for an integrated defense-in-depth strategy. Learn about cloud-native security challenges and how maturity gaps result in inconsistency, misconfigurations and visibility gaps.
