    Using Open Policy Agent (OPA) for Cloud Security and Compliance

    Drew Wright

    Just like the challenges of managing large cloud infrastructure operations led to the development of infrastructure as code, ensuring the security and compliance of those environments led to policy as code. Cloud infrastructure environments are simply too vast, complex and dynamic to address with traditional security approaches such as manual audits and checklists.

    Zombie Cloud Infrastructure is a Major Security Risk

    Drew Wright

    One aspect of cloud computing platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is that it’s easier to create infrastructure resources than it is to destroy them. Even more challenging is maintaining full visibility over all of your cloud resources. Corey Quinn once said, and I’m paraphrasing, “the only way to see everything you have running in your AWS account is to look at your AWS bill.”

    The 5 Biggest Myths in Cloud Security (And How to Avoid Getting Burned)

    Drew Wright

    Enterprise cloud adoption is in full swing, therefore cloud security and compliance has become a top priority. Security in the cloud requires different approaches than in the datacenter—and a different mindset. Demonstrating this are movements like DevOps, DevSecOps, and Shift Left, which have begun to transform how Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is done with automation using tools like infrastructure as code and policy as code.

    Shift Left on Cloud Security, Part II - Phases of the SDLC

    Josh Stella

    In an earlier blog post, we discussed at a high level how security can shift left regarding cloud infrastructure. In this post, we'll drill in with more detail on how this can be done through the discrete phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), beginning with the development phase, and extending through testing, and ultimately all the way to deployment and ongoing operations.

    Shifting Left on Cloud Security and Compliance

    Josh Stella

    We're hearing a lot about “shifting left” these days in the industry, and like most popular terms the meaning can be hard to pin down, and some of the implications buried. This post will focus on how to shift security and compliance left in cloud computing. These two functions are closely related, but the operational aspect of each is quite different. However, before we get into specifics, it might be helpful to define what we mean by shifting left in general.
