• Dr Anna Belak, Director of Thought Leadership at Sysdig, former Gartner analyst

Questions:

• Analysts (and vendors) coined a log of "C-something acronyms" for cloud security, and two of the people on this episode were directly involved in some of them. What do you make of all the cloud security acronym proliferation?
• What is CSPM? What gets better when you deploy it?
• What is CWPP? Does anything get better when you deploy it?
• What is CNAPP? What gets better when you deploy it?
• What is CIEM, Anton's least fave acronym?
• Now, what about CDR?
