Raising Awareness on Cloud-Native Threats with Michael Clark

Corey is joined by Michael Clark, Director of Threat Research at Sysdig, to discuss the refreshingly non-salesy approach of the 2022 Sysdig Cloud-Native Threat Report. Corey and Michael discuss the perception of cryptomining in your cloud instance being seen as more of a nuisance than the expensive threat it is, as well as other threats out there today and how they gauge the severity of a threat against more than just monetary cost. Michael also reveals how the team was put together to compile the report and why they intentionally moved away from packaging it as a thinly-veiled marketing tool and towards creating a report of substantive value.
