What is Security-as-Code?

It’s the best approach to securing cloud workloads and data.

Improve Cloud Security Effectiveness, Reduce Cost and Complexity, and Maintain Development Agility

Traditional cybersecurity architectures don’t work with the cloud.

Most cloud breaches are caused by misconfiguration, not attack on cloud infrastructure. Legacy security tools were simply not designed to secure modern cloud environments. The evidence is clear from the news: a seemingly endless series of data breaches from companies using cloud.

Concourse Labs is pleased to be the innovator in Security-as-Code, the most effective way to secure cloud applications and data.

How does it work?

Security-as-Code works the way the name implies. By formalizing security and control objectives into a set of automated rules and logic, you’re able to automatically apply and easily maintain them — ensuring cloud services are always configured and used securely.

But it’s not another “coding language” to learn.

We don’t think of security as code as a specific programming language or technology. Given the diversity of cloud service providers, cloud services, and infrastructure as code technologies, Security-as-Code must support, by design, a diverse set of provider-specific reference definitions to ensure that its logic is consistent and safe with the technology and version being evaluated.

This novel approach is based on the following key principles:

The Most Powerful Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP)

For the first time since the advent of cloud, Security-as-Code enables a truly effective approach to cloud security, grounded in security policy and automation.

To enable CISOs to see and manage their cloud risk, these capabilities must be incorporated into a comprehensive platform providing visibility and protection across the enterprise. Fragmented tools create hidden gaps and expose enterprises to security breaches.

This single integrated platform improves the effectiveness of both security and development teams, reduces cost and complexity, and maintains development agility.

Concourse Labs comprehensive CNAPP platform includes:
