The end-to-end delivery of modern digital services can introduce a complex web of dependencies and failure points, which can stem from direct relationships as well as third-party providers, introducing layers of abstraction for operations teams to keep track of.
Managing this complex ecosystem can be challenging. Unexpected issues may arise from seemingly insignificant components, surprising even the largest, most technologically sophisticated organizations.
For example, in recent weeks, problems at third-party providers led to outages at McDonald’s and the Department of Motor Vehicles. Tune in to the episode to hear what happened and explore other incidents from the last couple of weeks.

“Organizations are increasingly aware that they may not be as prepared as they should be for cyber incidents and are starting to understand the potential financial impact of downtime.”
This was an eye-opening discussion with two of the best! Check out this awesome conversation with Randall and Larry, who joined From the Field to chat about importance of cybersecurity in today's business landscape, the challenges in cybersecurity including evolving threats and lack of correlation across platforms, and solutions for optimizing cloud environments and concerns about quick recovery from cyber incidents.
During the conversation we explored the development of solutions that can correlate events from any platform and provide comprehensive attack vector analyses. Discussed solutions and efforts for optimizing cloud environments and providing lifecycle management and visibility, particularly in terms of operationalizing and minimizing impact on the organization. And considered the need for tools that can automate and maintain consistent policies across multiple clouds, reducing potential misconfigurations.
Randall and Larry make several outstanding observations on the current state of security;
There is a general level of confidence across different market segments, but there are still worries about visibility, workforce, and misconfigured tools;
Challenges in cybersecurity related to including constantly evolving threats on core business and extended supply chains, such as dictionary attacks on VPNs, and the pressure on security teams from constantly playing "whack-a-mole";
Different teams with different toolsets, leading to a lack of correlation and integration across platforms;
And, Cloud environments presenting challenges such as complex configurations and mismanagement, and the need for visibility, automation, and consistent policies. -
