(view in My Videos)

The cloud can be deceptively opaque. The ease of cloud services is underpinned by complex systems using ephemeral entities like containers that provide attackers with ideal hiding spots because they are lightly monitored.

In this tech talk, we will walk through how attackers can successfully inject malicious code into the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) of a cloud application using continuous development methodologies. Then we will showcase how Splunk can detect Crypto-Jacking malware using distributed development and production environments to minimize MTTD/MTTR and neutralize threats before they grow into something more ominous. 

Tune in to learn how to:

  • Monitor ephemeral cloud workload instances in real-time for anomalies
  • Detect, Alert and Auto-Remediate Cryptojacking Malware with Splunk’s SIEM/SOAR 
  • Bolster SIEM Security Use Cases with Real-Time Observability Metrics
