Podcast with Shauli Rozen, CEO with ARMO: "Securing the Cloud: Bridging DevOps and Security with Kubernetes & Kubescape"

Maurice O. Hamilton Sr. Season 2 Episode 35

In this podcast, Shauli Rozen, CEO of Armo, discussed cloud security, the challenges of protecting Kubernetes workloads, and how Armo’s open-source project, Kubescape, is a pivotal tool in this space. Shauli emphasized the growing importance of collaboration between DevOps, infrastructure, and security teams, explaining that Kubescape was created to provide comprehensive security for Kubernetes clusters and beyond.

Shauli shared how Armo's journey involved recognizing the need for developers and security teams to work together, especially in cloud-native environments. Using Kubescape, which integrates real-time data from running applications, they provide a way to shrink the attack surface while ensuring continuous runtime protection. This dual-layer approach allows security teams to prioritize and address vulnerabilities in real time, creating a more secure environment.

A key insight was the convergence of security roles. Shauli noted the trend of application security and infrastructure security teams merging into single roles or teams, a shift already underway. He also highlighted the concept of “shift left,” where security measures are implemented earlier in the development process, but emphasized that runtime data should inform and enhance these efforts.

Shauli also touched on using AI in Armo's backend to assist with documentation and remediation, although it is not the core functionality. Compliance reporting, vulnerability analysis, and progress reports were discussed as key features for organizations to monitor their security posture.

Maurice highlighted the growing complexity of cybersecurity threats and expressed interest in having Shauli join a future panel of cybersecurity experts to explore these issues further. Overall, the podcast provided deep insights into how cloud security is evolving and how tools like Kubescape, can help organizations stay secure in dynamic environments.
