Cloud Security Podcast

The podcast explores the challenges of network security in managed Kubernetes environments and the benefits of using tools like eBPF and Cilium. It discusses the initial approach to networking in Kubernetes and the need for the next generation of networking tools. The chapter also explores how eBPF revolutionized the kernel field and the network security capabilities of Cilium. It discusses the process of graduating a project within the CNCF and the importance of having a company backing an open source project. The speakers engage in a light-hearted conversation, sharing their personal interests and aspirations.

In this podcast, Tim Miller, a Kubernetes security expert, discusses CNAPP and the approach to Kubernetes security. They cover topics such as traditional Kubernetes security, attack path analysis, and the team needed for effective security. They also provide resources to learn more about these topics.

SaaS Applications support large companies, small startups. We inevitably accumulate SAAS applications to manage our employees, payroll, communication with things like Workday, Slack, Salesforce and now even things like ChatGPT. But how do you find out what you have and if they are secure. We spoke about all things SSPM with Max Feldman who has done Product Security for years at companies like Slack, Salesforce and now AppOmni.
