    Modern Security for Modern Apps

    Cloud native technologies have paved the path to modernizing applications. Containers provide standard packaging, and Kubernetes provides the orchestration. However, security practices have not evolved in order to account for the new reality of cloud first and recent studies show a sharp increase in the number, severity, and complexity of attacks. Learn how Nirmata plans to modernize security with cloud native policy as code.
