Check Point sponsored this podcast. The number of services cloud providers have begun to offer over the past couple of years has exploded, potentially exposing an exponentially larger number of microservices to vulnerabilities that support these services across multiple cloud and on-premises environments. In this, The New Stack Makers podcast, TJ (Tsion) Gonen, head of cloud security for security provider Check Point, puts microservices security in context and describes the critical role security tools play and the support that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer.

In consideration of the explosion in network connectivity during the past few decades, the fact that networks continue to function is an amazing feat in and of itself, Gonen said.

Now as a developer, you have two options: one of them is to go and say, ‘okay, this container only needs access to this, that and that and this service only needs these four API calls — that’s one of your paths. The other one is to ‘allow all,’” said Gonen.
