Security is very understandably a major source of concern when an organization makes the shift to cloud native.

Before beginning a cloud native journey, determining how network security will change in cloud native environments is among the chief concerns.

Security practices and governance must also likely span different architectures. These can range from virtual machines (VMs) and serverless functions to Kubernetes platforms. Legacy applications and infrastructures will also typically need to be taken into account. Meanwhile, it will also be of interest to DevOps engineers to ensure security processes are applied at the beginning of the production cycle in a way that will not hinder the cadence to deploy applications ever faster.

These and other questions and concerns about cloud native security will serve as talking points during The State of Cloud Native Security virtual summit to take place on June 24.

The virtual summit will also feature findings from a survey of 3,000 cloud architecture, InfoSec and DevOps professionals that formed the basis of “The State of Cloud Native Security 2020” report. With The New Stack, cloud native security experts from Palo Alto Networks and Accenture, which conducted the research, will discuss the findings during the summit.

In this edition of The New Stack Makers podcast hosted by Alex Williams, founder and editor-in-chief of The New Stack, Keith Mokris, head of product marketing, Prisma Cloud, Palo Alto Networks, and Mark Rauchwarter, cloud and infrastructure security for Accenture, discuss the key talking points of the Prisma Cloud Native Security Summit and what the results of the survey mean for the DevOps community.
