Cloud native technology is agile, flexible, distributed, and like anything new, it can be scary. But nothing worth doing is ever too easy, right? Today’s guest, Simon Maple, Field CTO at Snyk, has recently co-authored a report called The State of Cloud Native Application Security, and he joins us on the show to share some of the main findings that came out of the survey which formed the basis of the report. Almost 600 people took part in the survey, with a good mix of roles amongst the respondents. We discuss the reasons that people are choosing to move over to cloud native technologies, and the major concerns that they have with regard to adopting the new technology. The results from the survey reveal the significant impact that a company’s level of automation has on security, and we explore why this is the case. This conversation also covers the types of companies which are utilizing cloud native technology, the different opinions of developers and security people in terms of who should be dealing with security related issues, and Simon and Guy’s projections about what security is going to look like in the future.
