A Transformative Cyber Security Approach For Cloud Native Applications

Cloud native applications are rapidly shaping the migration to omnichannel customer relationships and achieving enhanced resilience. While cloud applications are proving to be a catalyst in accelerating recovery from COVID-19, it is imperative to ensure cyber attacks do not slow it down.

Modernizing the cyber security approach is an indispensable immediate necessity for organizations to realize the benefits from digital transformation and cloud adoption. This Entersoft Security white paper explores the prevalent security challenges with cloud implementation and a transformative approach to securing cloud native applications describing:

• Integration security capabilities for microservices and web Application Programming Interface (API)
• Non-negotiable security control categories considering shared responsibilities between Cloud Service Providers (CSP) and organizations
• Security configuration review realms for cloud services and container platforms
• Cybersecurity assessments and penetration testing scope for cloud native applications
• Adaptive security monitoring characteristics to continuously monitor security controls in order to identify, analyze, and report security events

Traditional on-demand security assessments, remediation implementation and risk management activities are slowing cloud application deployments and impeding companies achieve their full potential. A pragmatic proven modular and tailored cybersecurity approach for cloud native applications is prudent to achieve ideal responsiveness to increasing threats and attack surface.
