5 reasons why runtime is the key to shifting both left & right (SEC318)

Key Takeaways

Cloud Security as the Most Exciting and Important Part of Technology

  • Cloud security is the most exciting and important aspect of technology due to the pervasiveness of technology in our daily lives.
  • Securing the cloud is critical, as if people stop trusting the security of cloud platforms, they will stop using them, which will impact businesses.

Evolution of Cloud Security in the Last 10 Years

  • 2015: Gartner predicted that 95% of cloud security failures would be the customer's fault by 2020.
  • 2016-2019: Increased focus on workload protection and compliance.
  • 2022: Enterprises had an average of 10 cloud-native security tools, leading to inefficiency.
  • 2023-2024: 45% of breaches were cloud-based, and budgets started to get squeezed.

Challenges in Cloud Security

  1. Prioritizing Real Risks: Distinguishing between real and theoretical risks, and focusing on the most critical vulnerabilities.
  2. Optimizing Team Efficiency: Improving collaboration and workflow between developers, DevOps, and security teams.
  3. Defending Against Evolving Threats: Dealing with the increasing sophistication, frequency, and scale of cyber attacks.

Security Excellence and Maturity Curve

  • Security excellence requires a combination of practices and tools, moving from basic visibility and posture to incorporating runtime security and business context.
  • The maturity curve ranges from basic inventory and posture management to sensitive data discovery and automated API discovery.

Shifting Left and Shifting Right

  • Shifting left: Ensuring security at the earliest stages of the development lifecycle.
  • Shifting right: Providing real-time, continuous security in the production environment.
  • The new approach is to combine shifting left and shifting right, correlating information from both to prioritize risks, reduce noise, and discover threats faster.

Key Benefits of Shifting Left and Shifting Right

  1. Improving team efficiency by providing the right context to developers, DevOps, and security teams.
  2. Focusing on the risks that matter most based on runtime context.
  3. Finding and stopping threats in real-time.
  4. Discovering and securing applications automatically.
  5. Improving team-level efficiency by providing the right information to the right people.
