Securing applications in a hybrid world can be a challenge. Companies that try to control threat vectors across cloud platforms and infrastructure environments with the same set of tools often run into trouble.

We discuss how containers and serverless platforms are starting to solve some of these security challenges – how their shared responsibility models work and how they interact with technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning.

We touch on the prospects for – and challenges facing – Oracle, IBM and Alibaba cloud platforms. We also talk about issues companies face rewriting entrenched legacy applications, migrating large applications and applying the right skillsets to projects requiring intelligent orchestration.
