The document discusses the essential strategies for securing data in cloud environments, emphasizing the need for security automation due to traditional solutions' inadequacy in dynamic cloud settings. It outlines a three-step plan for data security in major platforms like AWS and Azure, highlighting shared responsibilities and the necessity for continuous assessment and vulnerability management. Additionally, it addresses customer challenges associated with hybrid cloud infrastructure and container security, providing recommendations for effective cloud workload protection.

• The lack of visibility and control in hybrid and multi-cloud environment
• Why security automation is mandatory for agile environments?
• Why traditional solutions do not cope with cloud and containers?
• 3 steps plan for data security in AWS, Azure and Docker

Customer Challenges
- Assess a different kind
of infrastructure
- Time consuming
permission process
- Evaluate configurations
for all instances and
storage

9. Growth of Container Adoption with DevOps Trend

10. Security Automation is Mandatory for DevOps
• Auto-Discovery of assets by API
• Security checks automatically launched
• Agentless is less costly to manage and works
with Serverless
• DevOps is changing when, who and how
security management is done

11. Why traditional solutions do not cope with cloud?
• Shared responsibility and new cloud services every week
• Elasticity and Agile
• Changing IPs
• License model
• Cloud Shadow IT
• APIs for everything
• Publicly accessible
• New layer of configuration (and misconfigurations)

12. Overview of AWS and Azure security capabilities
12
AWS
- Security Groups (firewall)
- Trusted Advisor (high level)
- Inspector (assessment)
- Key Management Service
- Identity and Access Management
- Macie (DLP)
- GuardDuty (threat detection)
- Shield (DoS)
- WAF (WAF)
Azure
- Azure Security Center
- Security Groups (firewall)
- Key Vault
- Endpoint Protection
- VM agent
- …
+ Integration with security partner solutions

13. What’s missing from AWS and Azure?
13
1. Putting all security services together
and assessing that continuous changes
are not bringing added risk
2. Workloads (Applications + Data)
security, your own stuff 

16. Let’s draw a plan
16
- 1st step: workload security assessment + cloud configuration assessment
- 2nd step: security automation for continuous assessment
- 3rd step: extend to new services

17. 1. Comprehensive Solution
17
Vulnerability Management
identifies vulnerabilities
Application Security
evaluates applications
Cloud & Container Security
assesses configurations and
workloads
Combines all 3 into one solution

18. 2. Continuous Workload Analytics
• Implementation of CIS benchmarks: AWS, Azure, Docker and Kubernetes
• Using the IaaS Provider or Hypervisors APIs
• Auto-discovery for elastic scenarios, zero configuration
• Real-time alerts on configuration issues

19. 3. Extend to new cloud services
• Orchestration possible by API
• Integration on CI/CD setups for containers
• Virtual appliances available for Azure and AWS for private assets
• Managed Services, Snapshot and Professional Services plans available
