Check Point Events
Join the conversation with experts from AWS, Hashicorp , Microsoft, and Check Point as they discuss strategies to take a zero trust approach to securing and preventing threats to modern day cloud environments. Learn how companies are leveraging automation and AI to optimize their cloud security operations, and how they are able to streamline once manual tasks to protect their workloads and prevent threats in real time. Hear from end users regarding tools they are using to integrate modern security and scanning capabilities into their pipeline to prevent threats across their entire cloud environment from development through runtime.
In this episode, we are introduced to "AccessOps" by the creator of the term and co-founder of stealth-startup Stack Identity. Venkat Raghavan discusses his current passion; addressing the challenges of access and access control in the cloud-native world. Today, virtually everything has an 'identity and these identities are given access to data. Not all of these are human. In fact, many are non-human including micro-services, functions, applications, and other assets. Regardless of their form, all 'identities' need to be managed. AccessOps is the new category Stack Identity has created to address this exploding cloud-native challenge.
