34: API Security In The Cloud

Too many IT professionals believe that cloud platforms, such as AWS or Google Cloud, handle any cloud-related security. Unfortunately, far too many are caught off guard when they learn that the security of these web services is limited. Yes, you are purchasing a service from them, but the truth is, IT security within a shared API is a shared responsibility. Brad Geesaman sees it far too often. He's been in IT security and infrastructure for over 15 years, working with Symantec, Blackfin, and others. He's worked as an ethical hacker, teaching others how to root our security threats within their networks, and he's currently providing private IT security consulting. He spoke at the Black Hat USA conference in Las Vegas, and after I heard him speak, I knew I had to have Brad on our DeFrag_This podcast. He came on the show and shared his expertise on how IT professionals can better protect their assets running on shared cloud platforms. You don't want to miss this.
