Ep 119: What is a Microservice Architecture and how do I secure it?

The Virtual CISO Podcast

Whatever kind of software application a team is building, the identification and remediation of cybersecurity issues needs to be part of every stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). But making that happen takes a wealth of skills and approaches, as well as an eye on compliance and the ability to keep pace with the ever-changing online environment—microservices being a prime example.
In this episode, your host John Verry, Pivot Point Security CISO and Managing Partner, sits down with Laura Bell Main, CEO and Founder of SafeStack to give business and security leaders a clear and logical overview of microservice security issues and more.
In this episode, join us as we discuss:
• What constitutes a microservice architecture and how it relates to other design approaches, languages, and frameworks
• The microservice software supply chain and the limitations of a Software Bill of Materials in a microservices context
• How using microservices changes the approach of securing an application
• How zero trust concepts relate to microservice architectures
• How SafeStack is helping to educate developers about application security in organizations of all sizes
