For cloud environments, striking the balance between innovation and security is a challenge that must be overcome to ensure organizations can successfully embrace digital transformation.

With 92% of enterprises implementing a multi-cloud strategy, the cloud environment is becoming increasingly complex, and security is therefore harder to manage.

To optimize the cloud environment, DevOps and SecOps teams must co-operate and embrace the continuing rise of "DevSecOps" - practices that hold everyone accountable for security and a way to ensure it becomes ingrained within the development process from the get-go, rather than an add-on later which becomes a laborious task, or a patched solution after a vulnerability is identified.

Investment in security training and awareness for developers is a great place to start and is only possible if key stakeholders recognize its importance.

For the developers themselves, they may be proactive in their approach to security, and they will likely be aware of the expanding threat landscape that endangers cloud adoption, but if they are not trained in how to combat these issues, it is impossible to make any significant progress.

The cornerstone to the shift towards better cloud security is communication.
