Organizations need to implement a cloud network security strategy that does not get in the way of achieving the full benefits of agility, scalability, and flexibility in the public cloud.
This requires management capabilities that eliminate the need for manual upkeep and oversight of multiple dynamic cloud environments and removes inconsistent and isolated silos of security tooling. By seeing and controlling everything in one place, teams receive deeper, more holistic visibility and operational agility—reducing risk while empowering teams to make real-time decisions that accelerate incident response.
Extending legacy network security solutions to the cloud is not an ideal option because they are not designed to work in the cloud’s fast-changing environment. Cloud network security services offered by cloud providers are often too complicated to integrate between functions, which increases deployment costs. Additionally, these controls typically don’t go deep enough to provide adequate protection. And since they vary from one provider to the next, your security will be inconsistent across different clouds, creating gaps.
Security solutions that are multicloud by design work best for dynamic environments because they inherit the characteristics of the cloud to meet its requirements, helping organizations make the most of their cloud environment.
Security solutions that are designed and built for multicloud environments:
Offer greater agility, scalability, and elasticity
Enable continuous asset discovery and automated policy enforcement
Work seamlessly with your apps and deliver consistency across clouds
