EP157 Decoding CDR & CIRA: What Happens When SecOps Meets Cloud

Cloud Security Podcast by Google

Guest:

• Arie Zilberstein, CEO and Co-Founder at Gem Security

Topics:

• How does Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) differ from traditional, on-premises detection and response?

• What are the key challenges of cloud detection and response?

• Often we lift and shift our teams to Cloud, and not always for bad reasons, so what’s your advice on how to teach the old dogs new tricks: “on-premise-trained” D&R teams and cloud D&R?

• What is this new CIRA thing that Gartner just cooked up? Should CIRA exist as a separate market or technology or is this just a slice of CDR or even SIEM perhaps?

• What do you tell people who say that “SIEM is their CDR”?

• What are the key roles and responsibilities of the CDR team? How is the cloud D&R process related to DevOps and cloud-style IT processes?
