Is multi-cloud security at mass scale the sum of tiny tasks done constantly? | #theCUBE
Sprawled out, multi-cloud environments have tons of endpoints that leave data vulnerable to security threats. Perhaps one day a vendor will bring to market a set-it-and-forget-it blanket security product; today is not that day. For now companies will need to be diligent watchmen over all these endpoints — but at least there are some solutions that can pull them all onto a single pane of glass.
Syamla Bandla, VP of global cloud operations and DevOps at Qualys Inc., was honored at the CloudNOW 5th Annual “Top 10 Women in Cloud” Innovation Awards for her work on security at scale and other areas. (CloudNOW is a non-profit consortium of leading women in cloud computing and converging technologies.)
“We do 3 billion scans annually; we do about 100 billion detections annually; and we do about 1 trillion security endpoints or data points,” Bandla said. She told Lisa Martin (@Luccazara), host of theCUBE*, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile live streaming studio, that companies need intelligence on all these points to be easily accessible.

Sipping own security champagne
Bandla said that Qualys “sips its own champagne” and uses its security technology to monitor its own data. “You know, things break, and when things break at scale, Qualys is no different,” she said.
Bandla explained that Qualys assumes that breaches and breakdowns aren’t a question of if but when. So the company uses “a single pane of glass for knowing when things break” and how to fix it quickly.
She also said the same philosophy extends to the company’s DevOps tools, which facilitate speedy tweaking and debugging. “How do you fail fast?” is the question for developers to ask, she concluded.
