For cloud security to be effective it must be embedded into the CI/CD pipeline in order to prevent cloud vulnerabilities at scale, automatically discover cloud misconfigurations, and systematically assist in remedying cloud misconfigurations.

This paper will uncover technical requirements, such as automation and consolidation, as well as tools to consider when addressing key areas of cloud native security including;

• cloud security posture management
• cloud intelligence and threat hunting
• workload protection

By following this strategy, the same security and compliance principles are applied uniformly for continuous protection, centralized visibility and greater efficiency.
