Cloud Security Sweet Spot: Why You’re Not Getting Results

Security Executive, Head of Security Supporting organizations to successfully complete their security transformation journey.
Imagine you had the technology to identify missing security controls in your cloud environment and close them automatically at no additional cost! And no, I am not talking about vulnerability and risk mitigation.
I am talking about completing your security tools armory with best of breed open-source modules: a capability to automatically code the missing tools in your cloud environment. If it sounds like science fiction, it's because this is indeed the future of cloud security.
The Bell Curve of Security Effectiveness
Imagine a bell curve. The far-left side represents the minimum effective dose. This is where most businesses get stuck. They invest minimal effort in purchasing security tools, but expect big results.?
The sweet spot lies at the center of the bell curve. This is where you’re consistently fine-tuning your security stack in order to fit the organization's needs.?
In Reality
Let’s say you're planning to add some tools and capabilities in order to improve your posture, as R&D and DevOps are about to grow this year. The CSPM is covering 70% of your cloud workload, the EDR is deployed on all systems, but you still have some gaps in your access management capabilities. The easiest approach would be, also what most CISOs do, to start evaluating "0 Trust" tools and compensating controls for the missing 30% coverage of the CSPM.?
That would be a strategic mistake, which will cause your budget to grow when you will have to buy next year's trending tool and meet compliance; that’s also the more expensive option.
