Why IaC Coverage is Critical for Infrastructure Security: A CISO's Guide

Firefly

For CISOs, Infrastructure-as-Code is the solution that solves their most complicated infrastructure security issues. But in the modern cloud era, it's no longer enough to simply implement Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solutions. Optimizing for full coverage is essential for scalability, compliance, and overall cloud efficiency. Hereā€™s why (and how you can achieve 100% IaC coverage).

Shift-Left Tagging: Enhancing Cloud Governance with IaC and Firefly

Eran Bibi

The concept of "shift-left" has gained significant traction as of late. This approach advocates for moving operations and quality control earlier in the development lifecycle, as early as the coding phase. Today, we're focusing on how this paradigm can be applied to resource tagging: a critical aspect of cloud governance that benefits immensely from early implementation.
