Why is securing the external attack surface a hot topic for security experts right now?

Will the Cloud Kill Security Agents?

The “agents or no agents” debate is ancient and eternal. Every decade or so, we go through another round of “agents are terrible, let’s end them” and “we need more visibility and control to secure the system, maybe we’ll call it a ‘sensor’ this time.” We ultimately always land on the same conclusion. There are no silver bullets. Today, the debate is alive and well because cloud is the new frontier, so surely agents are dead this time?

Common Mistakes Chief Security Officers Make

Here are 3 common mistakes chief security officers (CSO) make: Not prioritizing risks: Certain things might feel risky, but they’re not, while certain other things might feel safe, but they’re risky.

This allows them to prioritize and mitigate risks effectively. Not alternating between business and technical hats.
