The cloud vs. on-prem. Is one more secure than the other? What security concerns arise when moving to the cloud?
On this episode of Life in the Cloud, Eyal Arazi, Product Marketing Manager at Radware joins the show.
Eyal points out that on-prem environments are typically self-contained. Cloud environments rely on shared API, shared identities, and shared roles.
If there were an attack on a web server with on-prem, that's as far as the attack would go. In the cloud, the attackers could piggyback off the web server to access the database that sits behind it.
"Think of it like skipping stones in a pond. You're not interested in that first hop, but you're interested in the subsequent hops."
Eyal reminds us that on-prem security has been around for 40 years while cloud security is still in its infancy. It doesn't make it less secure than on-prem.
Hear about the key issues to consider to securely move to a cloud environment and much more in this episode.
