Over 750 million new cloud native applications will be developed by 2025. This astronomical rate of application development is enabled by the widespread adoption of cloud native application architectures. However, these microservice-based architectures also massively increase the attack surface and expose applications to new vulnerabilities and threats. To meet these threats, Cisco is launching a new cloud native application protection platform (introduced in the technology keynote on June 6). This session will provide details and demonstrations of this new Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) in action.
In response to the increasing complexity and distribution of applications, traditional security measures are no longer adequate in safeguarding against potential attacks. To address this challenge, a new security approach is required, one that incorporates security measures at every phase of the application development process. Cisco Panoptica recognizes the need for such an approach and has acquired Lightspin technologies to expand its capabilities in mitigating software vulnerabilities, misconfigured infrastructure, and other vulnerabilities. By identifying specific security exposures and rating risks individually, Panoptica’s tool offers remediation steps, including CLI usage. With the ability to contextualize threats and their criticality, the tool effectively filters noise, ensuring better protection against complex attacks. Panoptica emphasizes the importance of making security-conscious development choices, hardening infrastructure, securing entitlements, and continuously monitoring runtime environments. As part of their commitment to cloud-native security adoption, Cisco is providing Panoptica as a free tool for users.
