oak9 – Giving developers cloud native security superpowers to build a better tomorrow

oak9 – Giving developers cloud native security superpowers to build a better tomorrow

Speed, agility, resiliency — in today’s fast-paced business world, these words resonate within every organization looking to boost its growth and outclass the competition. It’s hard to imagine pursuing such goals without innovative, digital initiatives — and these, in turn, call for choosing the cloud over on-premise solutions and modernizing the systems that support your operations. This is where cloud-native technology comes to play a significant role as it offers a way of building and transforming application portfolios that keep up with market demands. Cloud-native platforms enable organizations to enhance their cloud adoption journey and accelerate their delivery of digital initiatives. They allow development teams to build, deploy, and operate applications directly in the dynamic cloud environment, thus eliminating the effort required for the maintenance of the underlying infrastructure. Cloud-native applications are based on independent technology services such as containers, service meshes, microservices, and declarative APIs. Still, the decision to go cloud-native should encompass more than just the technology aspect — it’s also about the overall added value and a cultural change.

oak9 is one such company securing cloud native infrastructure for developers. oak9 Security as Code continuously finds, analyzes, and remediates security and compliance design gaps dynamically, as changes occur in infrastructure as code (IaC) and deployed cloud native workloads. oak9 is the only software solution automating cloud native security across the entire software development lifecycle. oak9’s proprietary Security as Code (SaC) blueprints natively secure cloud applications by supporting 20-plus compliance standards out-of-the-box including HIPAA, HITRUST, FCA, PCI, SOC2 and ISO27001. oak9’s open-sourced Security as Code also enables security engineers to extend oak9 security blueprints for additional guardrails.

The oak9 Difference

The pace at which you can deliver value to your customers is the factor that makes you stand out among your competitors. Cloud-native development supported by DevOps processes and automation results in accelerated software delivery, as opposed to local or server-based development and its limitation. The scalability and flexibility of cloud-native applications allow you to introduce improvements in real-time to optimise the performance of your apps even further. They also help you keep up with the changing needs of your customers as you can react and make the necessary adjustments on the fly. From regulatory updates to a new security best practice from AWS, or a line of Terraform being updated – oak9 Security as Code automatically understands and applies these changes across your infrastructure for you. oak9’s approach to cloud native security is fundamentally different from misconfiguration checking and CSPM vendors. Here are three big reasons why companies are making the switch.

Catching risks post-deployment is costly: The average security breach costs companies $3M (plus consumer trust). oak9 natively understands your Infrastructure as Code, intelligently capturing the ideal state and then monitoring and alerting of drift before deployment.

Managing exceptions is not sustainable: Every application has different security needs and battling false positives wastes time. You can now answer five simple questions that customize security and build it into your application design.

Keeping up with security best practices is time-consuming: You don’t have time to know how HIPAA has altered recent cloud architecture requirements; oak9 has already built it into their dynamic security blueprints.
