Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) are major inhibitors for organizations moving to the cloud—and for good reason. Cloud environments are complex, and even a single misconfigured security group can result in a serious data breach. In fact, asset misconfigurations were the leading cause of cloud security breaches in 2019. This puts a lot of pressure on developer and operations teams to properly secure their services and maintain regulatory compliance.
As organizations continue to adopt DevSecOps, a methodology that shifts security measures to the beginning of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), roles and processes are evolving. Developers are expected to take on increased security measures – such as application security (AppSec) scans, flaw remediation, and secure coding – and security professionals are expected to take on more of a security oversight role.

One of Bearer's super powers is anomaly detection. Anomalies are unexpected issues that happen when making an API call. These could be high error rates, unexpected response codes, latency spikes, and more. By monitoring APIs with anomaly detection, we can identify problems with an API or within your application. Anomaly detection makes debugging easier and can help you identify API performance issues that affect your end users.
Education is a strictly regulated industry in which robust cybersecurity protection is a must. Data breaches can cost a fortune for schools and universities, since the loss of students’ personal information and other critical data brings reputational damage alongside fines for regulatory non-compliance. In the US in 2019 there were 348 publicly disclosed K-12 school-related cybersecurity incidents — triple the number in 2018.
