More approaches to data security that are born in the cloud are now appearing, and the new normal means the enterprise is motivated to adapt.

What has really changed? A top certification may be enough to be called "Above average" data security, but in reality that security still remains totally contingent on perimeter defenses, hardware appliances, and proper configurations by system administrators and DBMs. And it's still only as good as the data hygiene of end users.

Data security is a shared responsibility among security pros, end users, and cloud providers.

In terms of data protection, application-layer data security makes it possible to isolate and block bad traffic, including excessive data volumes, down to an individual user.

Incorporating security at the application layer also offers data protection capabilities that are similar to network intrusion appliances, or security agents that reside at the OS level on a virtual machine or at the hypervisor level.
