Enterprises worldwide are embracing hybrid environments and moving critical workloads to the cloud. However, cloud security has become a major concern for cybersecurity professionals. Businesses need to be on a constant lookout for cloud-native cyberattacks. Tech major HPE has reportedly acquired cloud-native security startup Scytale for an undisclosed sum. The San Francisco, California-headquartered startup is built on the open-source SPIFFE (Secure Production Identity Framework for Everyone) protocol. According to Dave Husak, HPE fellow and general manager, cloud security will play a critical role in delivering on its unique, edge-to-cloud platform as-a-service strategy as the company progresses further into the field.
