  • Episode 29: Cloud Identity Governance - understanding challenges

    Sponsored By:

    Attendees

    Guest: Arick Goomanovsky

    Guest title: Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer

    Company: Ermetic

    Abstract

    In cloud platforms, identity and permissions are the most important control that customers get to implement. Network segmentation and other traditional controls are often ineffective and access to resources is determined by a mixture of roles & policies. This mixture can become very complex and difficult to lock down. In this episode, we are hosting Arick Goomanovsky, Chief Business Officer at Ermetic, to discuss Cloud identity and access challenges, and to review real life examples of what can happen when neglecting identity and access entitlements in cloud infrastructure.

  • Episode 26: Current Challenges With Cloud

    This is a special episode where both of us (Moshe & Ariel – no guests this time) discuss the future of cloud computing and challenges that should be solved. We take a detailed look at shortage in manpower and knowledge, privacy laws and their influence on innovation and technology challenges such as multi tenancy, APi’s, encryption, continuous monitoring and more.

      People

        • Shortage in manpower:  There are missing jobs for cyber professional and especially application security
        • Shortage in knowledge: security professional lag behind learning new technologies
        • Process

            • Malicious insider - one of the biggest challenges for cloud providers
            • Shared responsibility model collapsing
            • Privacy laws are creating islands of data - Privacy laws are limiting the transfer of data
            • Jurisdiction, Court orders and government access to data - as cloud provider host more data - they are a target for more & more government interest
            • Technology

                • API security best practices - there will be more & more API’s, we did not master how to protect them
                • Encryption and key management - the holy grail for holding your own encryption keys is fading
                • Multi tenancy - we don't have clear practices on building multi tenant applications
                • Identity based access controls - network access controls are useless in cloud computing, but our ability to create granular access controls based on identity is not mature yet 
                • Multi tenancy 
                • Continuous monitoring
                • Automation and devops - Security automation is still maturing. We still don't know how to integrate developers and operation without breaking best practices
                • Using the wrong tools 
                • Closure (5 min)

                    Abstract

                    In modern cloud environments, Identity and Access Management controls are crucial controls. Many of the access decisions are now made not based on networking structure but rather on roles and permissions. In this episode we talk (again) with Shira Shamban, founder at Solvo about cloud IAM challenges - why is it so hard to get IAM right and how Solvo is planning to revolutionize the IAM management process.

                    Abstract

                    The first generation of cloud services began about 15 years ago and stretched until now, but it came with many built-in challenges due to lack of maturity and the fact that security was added on top and not present from the start. In this episode we talk with Eran Feigenbaum, CISO of Oracle cloud about the next generation of cloud services - how can we build cloud that is more secure,, immuned to miss-configuration and other pitfalls that are relevant to today's cloud services.
