Gartner expects IT security to move into the cloud as well.

Initial concerns regarding data security and data sovereignty slowed the acceptance of cloud offerings in the first place.

According to Gartner, cloud-based security via SASE includes features such as securing cloud access and the continuous monitoring of end devices for security-related anomalies - tasks that directly affect the business.

The path to the cloud is clearly mapped out here, because Gartner's forecast is compelling in its logic: if more and more business applications are located in the cloud, it is simply reasonable to also govern the security infrastructure via the cloud, by virtue of the familiar cloud advantages of agility, scalability, and high service availability.

That's why it makes sense to design a remote work strategy early on that is geared towards a cloud future and includes all the necessary security functions.

While in ancient times, it was said that "All roads lead to Rome", today all roads lead to the cloud, and so does the path of security infrastructure.
