Many organizations focus on keeping attackers out, but what happens when one gets in? We spoke to Ramesh Ramani, Staff Security Engineer at Block about the real challenge, which is preventing them from leaving with your data. In this episode, Ramesh details the innovative system his team built to automate egress access control at scale, moving beyond traditional, inefficient methods.
Ramesh explains how by establishing "sources of truth" for both internal applications and external partners, they created a centralized governance model. This system uses SPIFFE IDs to understand application identity, validates data-sharing requests against partner approvals, and provides a seamless, self-service experience for developers. Discover how this approach not only enhances security by preventing unauthorized data exfiltration but also improves incident response, allowing them to instantly revoke access to compromised third-party domains.

In many organizations, security exception management is a manual process, often treated as a simple compliance checkbox. While necessary, this approach can lead to unmonitored configurations that drift from their approved state, creating inconsistencies in an organization's security posture over time. How can teams evolve this process to support modern development without compromising on security?
In this episode, Ashish Rajan sits down with security expert Santosh Bompally, Cloud Security Engineering Team Lead at Humana to discuss a practical framework for automating exception management. Drawing on his journey from a young tech enthusiast to a security leader at Humana, Santosh explains how to transform this process from a manual task into a scalable, continuously monitored system that enables developer velocity.
Learn how to build a robust program from the ground up, starting with establishing a security baseline and leveraging policy-as-code, certified components, and continuous monitoring to create a consistent and secure cloud environment.

The world of cloud security is evolving at breakneck speed. Are traditional tools and strategies enough to combat the sophisticated threats of tomorrow? In this episode, we're joined by Elad Koren, Vice President of Product Management from Palo Alto Networks, to explore the dynamic journey of cloud security.
Elad shares his insights on how the landscape has shifted, moving beyond the era of CSPM and CNAPP as standalone solutions. We delve into why a cloud-aware Security Operations Center (SOC) is no longer a luxury but a necessity, and what "runtime security" truly means in today's complex, multi-cloud environments.
The conversation also tackles the double-edged sword of Artificial Intelligence, how it’s empowering both attackers with new capabilities and defenders with advanced tools. Elad discusses the critical considerations for organizations undergoing digital transformation, the importance of AI governance, and provides actionable advice for companies at all stages of their cloud adoption journey, from securing code from day one to building holistic visibility across their entire infrastructure.

Join Ashish Rajan in this episodeas he dives deep into the evolving world of cloud security with Sergej Epp, formerly of Deutsche Bank and Palo Alto Networks, now with Sysdig.
Discover why traditional security approaches fall short in today's dynamic cloud-native environments, where workloads resemble swarms of drones rather than predictable trains. Sergej explains the critical shift from basic posture management (CSPM/CNAPP) towards runtime security, emphasizing the need for an "assume breach" mindset.
Learn about the staggering reality that over 60% of containers now live for less than a minute and the immense challenges this poses for detection, incident response, and forensics.
This episode covers:
The evolution from traditional security to cloud-native and runtime security.Why CNAPP/CSPM is like a map, but runtime security is the essential radar.The complexities of modern incident response with ephemeral workloads.Key strategies for Security Operations Centers (SOC) adapting to the cloud.The importance of visibility, data collection, and tools for hybrid and even air-gapped environments.How AI is starting to aid security operations and forensics.Guest Socials: Sergej Linkedin
