CNAPPs have brought unprecedented visibility into cloud identity and permissions risks, but visibility alone doesn't solve the problem. Thousands of findings (like unused identities, over-permissioned accounts, and lateral movement risks) have been prioritized, but we’re still asking devs to fix these one by one in a process that never brings meaningful risk reduction. Cloud teams are inundated, struggling to remediate these issues while keeping productivity high.

Join us for an insightful webinar where we discuss how to centralize policy control and bulk remediation that will burn down the CNAPP alert queue. We’ll explore:

• Why identity and permission issues pile up despite CNAPP’s insights
• How to cut through the complexity of manual remediation with bulk actions

Unlocking Success: Navigating the Pitfalls of Privileged Access Management Deployment

Cloud Native applications and Services are the workhorses of modern cloud environments. They hold most of the organization's crown jewels and are therefore often the target for insider and outsider threats. Existing cloud security posture management and hardening solutions (CSPM) as well as real time detection and response solution (EDR) operate in Silo mode and are therefore failing to provide systematic security across the lifecycle of Cloud Native assets.

Cloud Security Reimagined: Bridging the Cloud – DevSecOps - Application Security Gap

The digital transformation of companies is well underway, and as enterprise increasingly adopt cloud-native approaches, attackers have also identified this as the weakest link in companies security posture. The result is a steep rise in attacks that target cloud-native applications, some hitting during development and others targeting production environments and live applications. The only way to combat this is by deploying strong and purpose-built security from code to runtime. But in order to be effective, it cannot be in siloes and it cannot affect development speed and agility. Join this webinar to hear about how you can seamlessly approach this challenge.
