More companies are migrating their infrastructure to the cloud to take advantage of benefits like reliability, scalability, and lower costs, but cloud migration remains a complex task requiring careful consideration and planning. (For tips on planning a secure and frictionless migration, download our ebook.) Choosing the right security technology is just one of many considerations, but it’s a critically important one, particularly for organizations in sectors such as healthtech and healthcare. Not only do organizations in these areas need to protect large volumes of sensitive patient and institutional data, but they can also face serious penalties for violating privacy regulations.

When it comes to security, it is often advantageous to choose an integrated platform such as Threat Stack’s Cloud Security Platform® in order to gain visibility across all cloud providers, including hybrid cloud environments, in a single dashboard. Threat Stack also enables full stack security observability, which provides organizations with contextualized information from every part of the cloud throughout the entire software development lifecycle.

To learn more about the most common (and most costly) misconceptions companies have about security technology when considering cloud migration, we reached out to a panel of cloud security experts and asked them to answer this question: Read more “16 Cloud Security Experts Share the Most Costly Security Technology Misconceptions When It Comes to Cloud Migration”

Defining the “Full Stack” in Full Stack Security Observability

Here at Threat Stack, we’ve been talking a lot about security observability recently (check out this article and whitepaper). When you design and monitor your systems for security observability, you reduce risk and minimize the likelihood and potential impact of a security breach.

But in the same way that you’d never invest in locks and alarms for the windows of your house while leaving the doors wide open, you can’t protect your business by focusing security observability on a single perimeter only. Security observability delivers value when it’s applied throughout the entire system. We call this Full Stack Security Observability. But what, exactly, is the “full stack?” Read more “Defining the “Full Stack” in Full Stack Security Observability”

Security Observability has become an important concept recently as companies have started building software with a cloud-native mindset, embracing distributed, immutable, and ephemeral systems. As infrastructure has shifted from traditional deployment methods, older monitoring systems are no longer effective, and a new set of practices — called “observability” — has emerged.

In this post, we explain what observability is, why security observability important, and outline six principles that will help you design and monitor your systems for security observability. (For an in-depth discussion, download our new whitepaper: Cloud Security Observability: A Guide to Reducing Your Cloud Native Infrastructure Risk.)
