This week on The Business of Cloud Native, I spoke with James Campbell, CEO of Cado Security, about his background in the security world and why he felt like there needed to be a better way to manage security forensics in a cloud native environment. 

Highlights: 

Why it’s important to get better information about security incidents — or potential security incidents — to make better decisions. 

Why security has to be relatively easy because otherwise people will ignore it — at their peril. 

How cloud native features like auto-scaling are great for compute but make security, especially security forensics, more complex. 

Without enough data collected in real time, companies can end up unable to know whether or not an anomaly actually caused data loss, which data was impacted and what the root cause of incident was. 

How some of the most sophisticated attackers operate and how they can cause havoc even if the impacted container has spun down. 

The triggers that led Campbell and his co-founder to start Cado Security. 

Why having better information is critical to responding effectively to breaches, large and small.
