Story
Inside Looker, cloud security review used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of the United States. Cloud security engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Looker uses Strata from Palo Alto Networks as the working layer for cloud misconfigurations. Palo Alto Networks provides network, cloud, and security operations products used to protect enterprise environments and automate response. The practical change is simple: cloud security review has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Looker gets from Palo Alto Networks is a durable place to run cloud security review and a way for cloud security engineers to see the same cloud misconfigurations at the same time.
