KubeCon 2020:

Public cloud misconfigurations have already led to some high profile data breaches. As complexity of cloud native increases, so do the hours dedicated creating and enforcing best practices across IaaS and SaaS providers. Matt Fuller (@matthewdfuller) and Josh Rosenthal got out in front of that curve early founding CloudSploit, a CSPM tool that automates the pain of cloud security posture management. Both founders spent time with Steve Giguere (@_SteveGiguere_) discussing the evolution of CloudSploit and the establishment of CSPM from both a technological and business perspective.
