CloudPassage Halo is the only workload security automation platform that offers on-demand delivery of security controls across data centers, private/public clouds, virtual machines and containers – at speed and scale. Unlike traditional security systems, Halo and its robust APIs integrate with popular CI/CD toolchains and processes, providing just-in-time feedback to fix vulnerabilities early in the development cycle. This lets DevOps teams operate efficiently while providing security teams the validation they require. Halo easily integrates with popular infrastructure automation and orchestration platforms, allowing Halo to be easily deployed to continuously monitor the security and compliance posture of workloads.

As consumption of cloud services increases, security teams struggle to maintain visibility of the cloud assets in use across multiple environments throughout the enterprise. In fact, 43% of security pros say lack of visibility into cloud environments are their biggest operational headache. Cloud defenders struggle to answer two simple, but important questions: what do I have, and is it secure? The only way to answer these critical questions is with comprehensive security visibility of your AWS public cloud environments.

Join us for this webinar to learn how to regain security visibility across all of your AWS accounts and how to:
- Automatically discover all of your AWS assets in use across accounts, services, and regions
- Reduce your attack surface by identifying and remediating security issues
- Find and respond to hidden risks by assessing both the control plane and compute plane

Eliminating Security Blind Spots in your AWS Environments

IT environments have gotten markedly faster, helped by technologies such as public and private clouds, and automation tools. As a result, maintaining compliance with regulations such as PCI, HIPAA, SOC2, etc has become much more difficult if you continue to use old-style compliance thinking and tools. 

In this webinar, you’ll learn the friction points caused by old tools and the new best practices that will allow you to maintain compliance in any environment, no matter how fast-paced.

Meeting Compliance Regulations in Cloud Environments

According to the 2017 Cloud Security Spotlight Report, the top three security headaches for IT and Security Professionals are:
- Visibility into infrastructure security
- Compliance
- Setting consistent security policies

Enterprises that are subject to regulations such as PCI, HIPAA, SOC2, SOX have traditionally used a variety of IT controls to prove compliance with these regulations. While each regulation is different, the typical requirements include strong access controls, continuous monitoring and logging, and an accurate inventory of systems where sensitive data resides.

In this webinar, you will learn how automation will be a key to scaling compliance policy assignment, providing visibility, and deploying wherever it is needed - be it in a data center, public cloud, or private cloud.

Automated Compliance. Anywhere, Anytime.

As with the introduction of any new technology, a majority of organizations fall into the “early adopter” or “intermediate” maturity categories for deploying Dockerized apps in production. In addition to development and deployment best practices, these organizations are also trying to determine how to meet the security and compliance requirements for Docker images and containers. 

In this webinar, we will explore the architectural differences with containers and some best practices to securing them. In particular, we will discuss how security needs to be integrated into your DevOps pipeline to provide a complete solution.

5 Tips to Secure Docker Containers

The rise of continuous development and deployment methods like DevOps have brought speed and quality benefits, but they have put a huge strain on security organizations. Traditional server security tools are not built for automated deployment. They typically require manual configuration before they can be put into production. This slows down the DevOps cycle and increases the risk of configuration errors. 

While some of the DevOps tool sets include basic configuration security checks, this feature by itself is just a small part of all the security controls that most enterprises need. This webinar will cover:

- How to secure DevOps and cloud deployment
- Automating and embedding security throughout the process
- Monitoring and management in production
- Metrics and audit compliance

DevSecOps and the Cloud Security Gap

Online security threats and defenses are evolving at a breakneck pace, but methods for developing business applications are evolving even faster. This rapidly-changing app environment brings new challenges for information security. Learn how your enterprise can combine emerging app development methods, cloud services capabilities, and new security practices to create a fast and more secure application environment.
 
View this webinar from Dark Reading and you will:

- Learn how application teams can build security into their development processes
- Get ways to implement new, faster methods for creating and deploying new applications
- Explore how to detect and eradicate software vulnerabilities in changing applications being deployed over a cloud infrastructure
- Discover how enterprises use the cloud to speed the implementation of secure application development

New Best Practices in Secure Application Development

Modern IT infrastructures are highly elastic, dynamic and automated. But, maintaining continuous visibility and protection over your workloads can be a real challenge. According to a recent report, cloud investment continues to grow over 20% annually as organizations are looking for faster time to deployment, scalability, reduced maintenance, and lower cost. Traditional security tools don’t work well in these environments, and that consistently worries IT and security professionals.

Learn how to overcome these limitations and:

- Provide deep cloud security visibility
- Automate security for the agile enterprise
- Reduce cloud attack surface
- Reduce costs & improve efficiency of cloud security

How to Protect Workloads in the Cloud

The widespread adoption of DevOps and agile IT delivery systems presents new security challenges. Developers need security tools that are integrated with their build processes so they can test the integrity and security of their applications within minutes. Similarly, infosec managers need security tools that automatically discover and protect new applications as they are delivered via rapid automation and elastic processes. But traditional security tools don’t do either of these things.

Watch this webinar to learn: 

- Why trying to use traditional security tools in DevOps environments will slow down both developers and security operations
- Key attributes you should be thinking about to make your security plan future-proof
- Where can security automation be applied to better align security with DevOps delivery models

How to Optimize Security Controls for DevOps

Containerization has been with us for more than a decade, but recently has been exploding in popularity with the introduction of Docker in 2013. Containers create old advantages to new technologies by displacing the inefficiencies of virtualization and bringing speed and scalability to cloud-centric applications. 

Join Cybersecurity expert Amit Gupta, VP Product Management at CloudPassage for this crash course in designing a security architecture for your containerized applications. He will use real world examples to highlight:

- How containerized applications are different from traditional virtual-machine based applications
- New security implications and attack vectors
- A security design pattern for your containerized applications

A Crash Course in Designing a Security Architecture for your Containerized Apps

There was a time when IT infrastructure took months to develop and deploy, and security and compliance teams had time to configure and release security controls in parallel. But if you want to keep up with the pace of business today, that won’t cut it.

Today’s high-performing teams deploy on demand or multiple times per day, and they can deploy changes to production in less than an hour. Servers themselves may exist for less than an hour. This rapid pace is leaving security teams behind. And the massive gap between code being deployed within hours and security projects taking weeks puts companies at risk.

It’s time for a new approach to securing DevOps.  Watch now and learn how the Puppet module for CloudPassage Halo can help your security teams keep pace with the demands of the modern, agile enterprise.

Puppet + CloudPassage = New Approach to Securing DevOps

As more organizations are moving their applications to be hosted with various Infrastructure as a Service providers, security teams have a whole new list of security concerns. But are those worries warranted? Should the perceived loss of control be the at the top of things to worry about?
