New ways to protect against malware appear daily. The new techniques sound like a panacea for stopping all malware, but each technique has advantages and disadvantages. Learn about the tradeoffs of machine learning, application control; exploit prevention, and behavioral analysis and forensics, as well as how cross-generational blending of techniques can protect you against ever-evolving threats.
Securing Serverless Applications In The Cloud

Serverless applications offer a number of advantages, the biggest one being freedom from a number of standard operational tasks. And while you may not need to do basic ops tasks, you still have a responsibility to keep your data safe and secure. Serverless designs require a completely new approach to development, and securing these applications requires new concepts, processes and tools.
