Episode notes
Fragmented Multi-Cloud Breeds Risk
- Multi-cloud fragmentation creates blind spots that cause most cloud security breaches.
- Lack of visibility into assets and traffic patterns prevents correct connectivity and security models.
Use CLARA To Find Cloud Gaps
- Run a comprehensive Cloud and AI Risk Assessment (CLARA) to map workloads and traffic without installing agents.
- Use the report to identify where firewalls and controls are missing and what AI models and data sources connect to your apps.
Container Traffic Vanishes Behind NAT
- Containers often lose observable IPs after they egress the cluster because of NAT, hiding traffic from traditional firewall rules.
- Customers running Palo Alto firewalls discover this gap when they run CLARA and must add policies to protect container traffic.
