Security News > 2023 > May > Sticking to traditional security playbook is mistake for cloud security: Palo Alto Networks SVP

TechRepublic spoke with Ankur Shah, SVP and general manager of Prisma Cloud, about what cloud security means and how IT pros and decision makers should think beyond the traditional cybersecurity playbook when it comes to cloud security.

Ankur Shah: Before the cloud, security was like a house with one front door, a camera and a security guard: one level of security and you're good to go.

TechRepublic: But isn't cloud security pretty much what most security is about now?

Ankur Shah: You have to understand that the bulk of the security professionals come out of an understanding of network and endpoint security.

A lot of security people are using the same playbook that we used back in the day and applying it in the cloud.

The security outcome is a lot of the stuff that we did already in AI. You can expect us to do more and more in the future with automation, more AI and machine learning because it's really connecting the dots to ensure that if there is a breach - if there is a security incident - we're able to detect it sooner than later.
