      <description>&lt;h1 id=&#34;cloud-native-security-where-things-actually-go-wrong&#34;&gt;Cloud-native security: where things actually go wrong&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Cloud-native didnt make security harder.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It made it faster to fail.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Microservices, Kubernetes, CI/CD, managed services, all great.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But they amplify the same old problems:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;unclear ownership&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;bad access discipline&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;no visibility when it matters&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;compliance as paperwork&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here are the security failures I see most often in cloud-native DevOps environments, and what to do about them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;1-you-dont-know-what-you-have-visibility-is-missing&#34;&gt;1) You don&amp;rsquo;t know what you have (visibility is missing)&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you can&amp;rsquo;t answer these in 30 seconds, you&amp;rsquo;re flying blind:&lt;/p&gt;</description>
