Security News > 2020 > January > The Changing Face of Cloud Threat Intelligence

As public cloud providers continue to elevate their platforms' default enterprise protection and compliance capabilities to close gaps in their portfolio or suites of in-house integrated security products, CISOs are increasingly looking to the use and integration of threat intelligence as the next differentiator within cloud security platforms.

Whether thinking in terms of proactive or retroactive security, the incorporation of timely and trusted threat intelligence has been a core tenant of information security strategy for multiple decades - and is finally undergoing its own transformation for the cloud.

Cloud-native security suites from the major public cloud providers are striving to use threat intelligence in ways that have been elusive to traditional security product regimes.

With the immense pressure to move from detection to protection and into the realm of preemptive response, threat intelligence is fast becoming a differentiator for cloud operators - but one that doesn't naturally fit previous sharing models - as they become built-in capabilities of the cloud protection platforms themselves.

In a compute world where each action can be viewed and each compute cycle is billed in fractions of a cent, CISOs are increasingly cognizant of the value deep integration of threat intelligence can bring to cloud protection platforms and bottom-line operational budgets.
