#30 - Cloud Drift (with Yoni Leitersdorf)

This episode is sponsored by Indeni.  

On this episode of CISO Tradecraft, G Mark Hardy discusses with Yoni Leitersdorf (CEO and CISO of Indeni) the risks which can occur in a cloud environment after it has been provisioned. Essentially it's quite common for organizations to change their cloud environment from what was declared in a Terraform or Cloud Formation Script.  These unapproved cloud changes or Cloud Drift often create harmful misconfigurations and have the potential to create data loss events.

The podcast discusses the pros and cons of two key approaches to solve the Cloud Drift problem:

1. Static Security Testing in a build pipeline
2. Runtime Inventory Approaches 

The podcast features Yoni Leitersdorf.  Yoni founded a company (Indeni) to address Cloud Drift and discusses the business point of view of why this is a critical concern for the business.  If you would like to learn more about what Yoni is working on please check out Indeni
