Whatever your business cloud adoption preference, the best way to protect it is through a unified security strategy. The benefits of a unified and centralized approach outweigh the challenges as firms rush to benefit from the speed, scalability and agility of cloud services.
Many firms have adopted multi-cloud almost by accident as they adopt the various services they need at particular points in the company’s stages of growth. Most firms now have half-a-dozen or more cloud services within their business, while others have taken a more measured approach, carefully selecting cloud services from providers that dovetail neatly to provide an aligned and complementary overall service.
With the growth of multicloud and hybrid cloud adoption among businesses, be they open source or big player (Amazon, Google, Microsoft) solutions or a mix of the two, things get more complex. However a company’s cloud service has developed, it’ll continue to evolve as cloud rapidly becomes the dominant platform. This requires a coherent and cohesive security strategy to protect data and services against the growing range of threats.
