Bringing Observability To Cloud Security

Cloud security threats are increasing in both frequency and intensity. We need better visibility into potential threats and proactive approaches to addressing risk. Security observability is the ability to gain visibility into an organization’s security posture, including its ability to detect and respond to security threats and vulnerabilities. It involves collecting, analyzing, and visualizing security data to identify potential hazards and take proactive measures to mitigate them. Security observability involves collecting data from various security tools and systems, including network logs, endpoint security solutions, and security information and event management (SIEM) platforms, and then using this data to gain insights…

Why Is Your Multicloud So Slow?

Many complain about the performance of their multicloud deployments these days, and for good reasons. Here are a few areas to look for answers. It’s a Wednesday, and the accounting team is closing out this month’s sales and running end-of-month processing on a multicloud platform deployed four months ago.

What took only a few hours last month to process from start to finish now takes almost a day. You get an…

We know it’s a common approach for enterprises to move to plural clouds versus single-cloud deployments. Enough said.  The mistakes I see in multicloud deployments are not at all what you would think. You likely believe these errors are related to some complex technology being deployed…

How Multicloud Changes DevOps

More clouds, more complexity, more challenges. Now’s the time to prepare for the impact multicloud will have on your devops teams. Devops or devsecops (I’ll use devops for this post) is more than just a fast way to build and deploy software within the cloud and on traditional systems. It’s now a solid standard, with best practices, processes, and widely accepted tools. However, as multicloud becomes the new path to cloud computing, I’m asked how it will impact existing devops programs. Specifically, how development may change and what problems need to be addressed before and after moving to devops to…

Are You A Multicloud Engineer Yet? The Case For Building Skills On More Than One Cloud

Over the past few months, I made the choice to move from the AWS ecosystem to Google Cloud — both great clouds! — and I think it’s made me a stronger, more well-rounded technologist. But I’m just one data point in a big trend. Multicloud is an inevitability in medium-to-large organizations at this point, as I and others have been saying for awhile now. As IT footprints get more complex, you should expect to see a broader range of cloud provider requirements showing up where you work and interview. Ready or not, multicloud is happening. In fact, Hashicorp’s recent State…
