Unlocking the Power of Behavioral Cloud

Native Threat Detection and Response

By Jimmy Mesta, Co-founder and CTO, RAD Security

Behavioral detection and response is not a new concept, and the top three detection and response
players command a combined market capitalization of $100 billion. But the rise of cloud native
environments has presented both opportunities and challenges in this area. As organizations increasingly
embrace microservices architecture, containers, and orchestration tools like Kubernetes to build scalable
and resilient applications, the need for effective threat detection and response mechanisms has become
paramount. So what does your organization need to know about behavioral cloud native threat detection
and response?

Understanding Cloud Native Environments

Before diving into behavioral threat detection, it's crucial to grasp the essence of cloud native
environments. Unlike traditional legacy applications that are tightly bound to specific servers or VMs,
cloud native applications are designed to be agile, flexible, and adaptable to cloud infrastructures. They
leverage microservices, containers, and orchestration tools to achieve scalability and resilience, making
them well-suited for dynamic cloud environments.
