Webinar: Advancing Application Security from Code to Cloud to Security Operations Center Solutions
Modern applications evolve rapidly, often outpacing security teams’ ability to respond effectively. As organizations increasingly transition to cloud environments, security practices frequently lag behind these advancements. Security teams find themselves conducting code scans in isolation, reacting to cloud threats after the fact, and monitoring SOC alerts only once damage has occurred.
Cybercriminals do not hesitate; they swiftly exploit vulnerabilities, often within hours. Unfortunately, most enterprises may take days to react to critical alerts concerning cloud security breaches. Such delays are more than just problematic; they represent a significant security risk.
A major challenge lies in the fragmented security landscape where teams work in silos. Development, security, and operations teams—DevSecOps, CloudSec, and SOC—operate separately, with their tools lacking interoperability and their data failing to synchronize. Consequently, approximately 80% of cloud vulnerabilities go unaddressed, remaining exploitable and often undetected until it is too late.
To address these persistent issues, a comprehensive approach is essential. A recent informative webinar titled “Breaking Down Security Silos: Why Application Security Must Span from Code to Cloud to SOC,” features Ory Segal, Technical Evangelist at Cortex Cloud (Palo Alto Networks). This session outlines a cohesive strategy for securing applications across all environments, emphasizing integration and collaboration among teams.
Key takeaways from the webinar include:
– Understanding why relying solely on code scanning is insufficient.
– Identifying where attackers can exploit the most significant blind spots in your security framework.
– Learning how to unify disparate security tools and teams to enhance overall security posture.
– Strategies to reduce response times from days to mere hours.
Professionals involved in AppSec, CloudOps, DevSecOps, or SOC will gain actionable insights that can be immediately implemented to strengthen their security measures.
If your current security strategy relies on outdated methods like code reviews or isolated tools, it is time to reassess. Attackers have a comprehensive view of your network; it is critical that you gain a similar perspective on potential vulnerabilities.
Taking the initiative to adopt a more intelligent, faster, and holistic security approach will be paramount in the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity.
