Cloud Security Podcast

Security expert Lily Chau discusses AWS Lambda for cloud security, auto-remediation, IAM roles, and challenges with CSPM. They cover cultural shifts, high-impact playbooks, and monitoring CloudTrail logs for security. Also, they talk about preventing subdomain takeovers, using Terraform for security, and a favorite restaurant in San Francisco.

Zvonko Kaiser, Nvidia's Principal Systems Software Engineer, discusses confidential computing, secure enclaves, and attestations. He highlights the importance of GPUs in enhancing AI workloads and the transition to confidential containers for data protection. The podcast explores threat models, industry sectors utilizing confidential computing, and the value of isolation and attestation in cloud security.

Armon Dadgar, Co-Founder and CTO at HashiCorp, illuminates his journey co-creating Terraform and tackling cloud complexities. He highlights the evolution of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and stresses the importance of platform teams for large enterprises. Armon discusses the critical role of standardization and lifecycle management for cloud security. The conversation dives into the challenges of automation, including machine identity management, and the influence of generative AI on IaC practices, all while emphasizing community contributions to open-source initiatives.

Dan Benjamin, Head of Data, Identity and AI Security at Prisma Cloud, discusses the new AI-SPM category, building AI and data inventories, understanding AI access, and the role of DSPM in effective AI security controls. They compare AISPM vs CSPM, tackle data security in the world of AI, and highlight the maturity curve for CISOs to consider.

Dave Johnson, Senior Threat Intelligence Advisor at Feedly and ex-FBI agent, discusses using large language models to create Sigma rules for threat detection. He highlights the challenges and benefits of employing AI in this process, emphasizing prompt chaining and RAG systems. The conversation touches on the importance of specific inputs and experimenting with dev environments for better security threat detection.

Ely Kahn, VP of Cloud Security and AI at SentinelOne, discusses the shift to decentralized SOC operations, increasing cloud security complexity, and the future impact of AI on Cloud Security in 2024. Topics include evolving threat landscapes, SOAR, skillset changes, and a fun section covering personal interests.

Is having a CSPM enough for Cloud Security? At RSA Conference 2024, Ashish sat down with returning guest Jimmy Mesta, Co-Founder and CTO of RAD Security, to talk about the complexities of Kubernetes security and why sometimes traditional Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) falls short in a Kubernetes-centric world. We speak about the significance of behavioural baselining, the limitations of signature-based detection, the role of tools like eBPF in enhancing real-time security measures and the importance of proactive security measures and the need for a paradigm shift from reactive alert-based systems to a more silent and efficient operational model.

Experienced cloud security experts Rich Mogull and Chris Farris share insights on effective cloud security strategies, moving beyond vulnerabilities. They discuss the Universal Threat Actor Model, practical steps in cloud environments, and managing a large volume of CSPM findings. The podcast also explores real-world security breaches, triaging, and automation of security responses, along with the speakers' diverse hobbies and favorite cuisines.

Jeff Moncrief, a cloud security and identity management expert, discusses the challenges of implementing least privilege in cloud environments, the evolving role of identity management, and the importance of segmenting access across public clouds. The podcast highlights misconceptions surrounding identity roles and emphasizes the critical need to approach permissions management strategically and comprehensively.

How is eBPF impacting Kubernetes Network Security? In this episode, recorded LIVE at Kubecon EU Paris 2024, Liz Rice, Chief Open Source Officer at Isovalent took us through the technical nuances of eBPF and its role in enabling dynamic, efficient network policies that go beyond traditional security measures. She also discusses Tetragon, the new subproject under Cilium, designed to enhance runtime security with deeper forensic capabilities. A great conversation for anyone involved in Kubernetes workload management, offering a peek into the future of cloud-native technologies and the evolving landscape of network security.
