You need to accept that there will be issues and the sooner you can find and fix the ones that matter most , the better . In 2023 , we ’ re going to see an increased need for companies to understand how software is used throughout their organization , where vulnerabilities exist and how to prioritize them .
Your security teams and developers will need to help each other understand the implications of their actions
Developers are constantly worried about breaking things when they push code into operations . When you help them understand the implications of the code they ’ re deploying , it will be easier for them to see the security aspects . For example , if you tell a developer that a specific piece of code will be used by arbitrary users at scale on front-end services , but other pieces of code are used only in a back-end service , they ’ ll understand why they need to pay close attention to that code on the front end . You need to let them know how things are operating to make them cognizant of the different risk levels . Security teams and developers are helping each other and visibility is key to doing that successfully .
Securing your cloud will be impossible without comprehensive visibility
If you want to secure your cloud , comprehensive visibility of your cloud environment is most important . In this case , ‘ visibility ’ means aggregating and presenting information about your cloud environment in a way that people can understand . You need to know what your assets are , how they ’ re configured , where they are located and who can access them . Without that , you won ’ t see all of the changes that occur and you ’ ll be missing relevant context . Visibility gives you a better understanding of what you can do and how you can improve things , without missing the blind spots .
Whether you ’ re a CISO , developer , security analyst or business owner , you have an important role to play to
Visibility gives you a better understanding of what you can do and how you can improve things .
keep up with the rapidly changing security landscape . Understanding your cloud environment , along with the risks that come with it , is essential to prepare yourself and your organization for the inevitable security threats we will face next year . p
