Google Cloud is introducing Attack Simulation within its platform
This is great step forward for cloud security platforms
One of the best things about Cloud Security is how new capabilities keep getting added to cloud platforms every year
The unique model of the cloud also means that you dont have to do any deployments and these new features can just be deployed with a button click
Last year Google mentioned that they had acquired Forseeti which is a startup focused on Attack simulation and this feature would be coming to the platform soon
But what is Attack Simulation and what makes it a big deal ?
Why Attack Simulation is needed
In the good old days of cybersecurity we used to do penetration tests to check what weaknesses were present in our environments
Life was simple .. hire an expert to do a pentest .. get the report .. fix the issues and wait for the next year for another pentest
