Defense in depth
The dynamic nature of cloud-native applications, the ephemeral nature of containers, and the ever-increasing attack surface make securing these environments a critical priority. In this context, a defense-in-depth approach to cloud-native infrastructure security is essential.
Defense in depth is a comprehensive security strategy that relies on multiple layers of protection, ensuring that even if one layer is compromised, other layers remain intact. This layered approach is well suited for cloud-native environments, where the infrastructure is distributed across multiple components, such as VMs, containers, and serverless functions. By implementing security controls at each layer, organizations can better protect their applications and data from a wide range of threats and vulnerabilities.
The importance of securing the infrastructure in cloud-native environments cannot be overstated. As the foundation upon which applications and services are built, the infrastructure...
