Cloud-Native App Security<br />

By Ankur Singla, Founder and CEO of Volterra<br />

Organizations of all sizes are adopting cloud-native application design and deployment practices as they<br />

continue to digitally transform business processes. This includes the extensive use of microservices and<br />

APIs, as well as distributing clusters across multiple cloud providers. Unfortunately, a recent survey by<br />

Propeller Insights found that while most organizations today are using cloud-native apps, Kubernetes<br />

and microservices, they struggle to secure and connect the complex environments resulting from them.<br />

Cloud-native is no longer just a bold new idea for most organizations -- it’s a reality. However, DevOps<br />

and NetOps teams are facing some serious security and networking hurdles they did not anticipate from<br />

the outset. As a result, organizations struggle to get the agility and scalability they expected from their<br />

cloud-native environment and investment. Looking to the year ahead, the following trends will play a<br />

critical role in helping organizations understand and overcome their cloud-native app security challenges:<br />

As organizations continue to digitally transform business processes, they are increasingly transitioning<br />

from legacy applications to modern, cloud-native apps. These intricate modern apps feature far more<br />

APIs than their predecessors. And since these apps are built with extensive microservices, many of these<br />

APIs are deeply embedded and hidden. This API sprawl has created many new attack vectors. Few<br />

vendors address app security properly at the API level, leaving developer and security teams scrambling<br />
