Tag Cyber: The Evolution of CSPM
The existing cloud security space is flooded with single-issue solutions (security posture management, data security, vulnerability management, etc.) that do little to provide a security team with insight into the overall risk of an enterprise’s cloud environment, and what should be done about it. Multi-cloud environments, along with hybrid clouds, are posing challenges to many of the cloud security solutions on the market today.
In this report, we will review the challenges of securing a modern cloud-based infrastructure and why a comprehensive, real-time discovery and alerting solution is needed.

Tag Cyber Webinar: The Evolution of CSPM
As cloud computing continues to reshape the modern IT landscape, the approach to cloud security must also undergo a seismic shift. Over the years, cloud security posture management (CSPM) has undergone a remarkable transformation, adapting to the ever-changing needs of cloud-native environments.
Throughout this session, we will analyze the pivotal milestones that have shaped the evolution of CSPM, from basic configuration checks to sophisticated behavioral threat detection and beyond. Then, we’ll speculate on what the future holds and how CSPM can keep evolving to address future cloud and cloud-native security challenges.

TAG Cyber: Evaluating the SentinelOne Acquisition of Attivo Networks
Conceptually, the idea behind XDR is to include non-endpoint telemetry into the risk decision-making process occurring on the endpoint. While account and identity theft remain the most attacked vector in most enterprises, the majority of EDR/XDR solutions fail to include substantial identity telemetry into the solution, resulting in coverage gaps across the entire vertical. SentinelOne’s acquisition of Attivo is a significant advancement in addressing those gaps.
