Incident response and detection is a critical part of your security operation - it's hard to defend against what you can't see, particularly when your attack surface now extends from on-prem and into the cloud.

Meanwhile you're trying to combat that them using legacy tooling which might be adequate for securing your on-prem world, but barely recognizes the cloud even exists, never mind extends to it and takes advantage of the benefits it can offer.

Recent Forrester research, sponsored by Rapid7, highlighted the pressures security pros are under, as they struggle to police a cloud world with tools designed for an earlier era.
