Dust It Off - BSW #245
How cloud resources are architected and utilized is different for every organization, but whether cloud native or cloud traditionalist – security risk and complexity are problems. Concerns over account takeover, overprivileged access and the struggle to keep pace with the dynamism of the cloud are driving demand for a better way to secure access. Hear Colby Dyess, Director of Product at Appgate, discuss how the principles of Zero Trust strengthen and simplify access controls across varying cloud architectures. We’ll address everything from users connecting to multi-cloud resources, secure service-to-service communication and running security as code.
