You’ve secured your cloud identities. You’ve hardened your cloud security posture. You’ve configured strong cloud access controls. But there’s still one more thing you need in order to secure your cloud environment: a cloud workload protection platform, or CWPP. Cloud workload protection platforms secure the workloads that run on your cloud — which are distinct from the infrastructure, user identities and configurations that form the foundation of your cloud environment.

Automation is a key component of DevSecOps because it increases efficiency. Automating work in your software development lifecycle helps you integrate multiple tools into your workflow. It also lets developers, maintainers, and security champions focus on coming up with creative solutions for tough problems, rather than spending time on tedious manual tasks.

Good security may come from strong defenses, but strong security comes from a good offense. This is especially true for network security, where minutes can make the difference between a breach and a near miss. For example, if an unknown IP address triggers an alert for suspicious or abusive behavior, the faster you can isolate and block that address, the less likely it is that the person or entity at the other end can do damage.

In our second episode, we speak with Elastic’s Product Marketing Director James Spiteri, an experienced security practitioner turned product marketer with a passion for making security accessible and easy for anyone and everyone.

What's frustrating security analysts on a daily basis? When we asked that question in our recently published 'Voice of the SOC Analyst' survey, the number one answer was "spending time on manual work" like reporting, monitoring, and detection. Why would that frustrate them? Manual tasks are repetitive, mundane, and tedious, and force analysts to spend most of their day or week chasing down answers or following up on alerts, only to do it again the next day.

Analysts are being weighed down by mundane, tedious tasks, preventing them from doing their best work, causing burnout, and leading them to the point of wanting to leave their jobs. SOC analysts' biggest frustration and one of their top challenges is having to spend time on manual tasks, according to our recent report, 'The Voice of the Analyst.' These tasks are not only repetitive, but they're taking them away from more engaging, higher-impact work.

With agile development, the software development life cycle has evolved, with a focus on customer satisfaction to enhance product features based on user feedback. This helps shorten the time to market, since teams can release a minimally viable product, then continuously improve its features. The agile technique encourages team cooperation through sprints, daily standups, retrospectives, testing, quality assurance and deployment.
