Cloud has introduced extraordinary opportunities for enterprises to transform and monetize assets, serve customers with novel offerings and scale their businesses. But as operating systems have become increasingly connected to the Internet, it has also increased the potential for damaging cyberattacks. As network architectures get more complex, there is added pressure to secure new points of attack vulnerability. Cloud environments introduce a significantly larger attack surface that requires protection from cyberattacks. As the threat landscape evolves, attacks are growing in complexity and persistency, and zero-day attacks are exploiting those newly discovered vulnerabilities. Recent ransomware attacks highlight the need to secure against denial-of-service and application attacks.
To keep up with the growing sophistication of cyberattacks, it's essential that organizations maintain comprehensive visibility, compliance and governance across their network and deploy monitoring, detection and mitigation solutions. Join Radware's experts, with Heavy Reading’s Jim Hodges, for a special 60-minute webinar on detecting and mitigating cloud-native threats.
In this webinar you will learn:
- What makes cloud security so different than on-premises
- What the key security threats to cloud environments are
- Which attack vectors are new and unique (or simply much more harmful) to cloud environments
- How Radware provides visibility, compliance and governance for the leading clouds and helps its customers detect and mitigate cloud threats before they result in a breach



Jim leads Heavy Reading's research on the service assurance and security impact of the virtualized cloud on the control plane and application layers, both in the fixed and mobile core and at the enterprise edge. Jim focuses on the security impacts that cloud-based technologies such as 5G introduce from a cyber-threat detection perspective, as well as billing and service assurance transformation implications. Jim joined Heavy Reading from Nortel Networks, where he tracked the VoIP and application server market landscape and was a key contributor to the development of Wireless Intelligent Network (WIN) standards. Additional technical experience was gained with Bell Canada, where he performed IN and SS7 network planning, numbering administration, technical model forecast creation and definition of regulatory-based interconnection models. Jim is based in Ottawa, Canada.
