One of the biggest time costs in software development is understanding how a system works. Systems are getting more complex yet our ability to understand them doesn’t seem to be growing at the same rate. As we continuously develop software systems, the complexity slowly increases and we don’t fully realise it.

Cloud environment toolkits —microservices, Kubernetes, and serverless platforms — deliver business agility, but also create complexity for which many security solutions weren’t designed. As a result, while cloud architecture has enabled organizations to develop applications iteratively, it also increased exposure to vulnerabilities.
