Episode notes
Microservices Multiply Visibility Gaps
- Microservices and cloud-native patterns multiply blind spots and make consistent security policies far harder to maintain.
- Ben Zilberman warns that API sprawl and fast CI/CD cycles expand the attack surface and overwhelm small security teams.
Consolidate Protection Into One Platform
- Consolidate web app, API protection, bot mitigation, and CDN into a single manageable platform.
- Ben recommends a unified interface so teams can control protection across environments from one place.
Use Cloud-Native Deployment Models
- Deploy WAF as a Kubernetes ingress controller for microservices and use cloud-native VM or SaaS options for public cloud.
- Ben advises choosing an auto-scaling, environment-appropriate deployment model to preserve protection and performance.
