Dealing with cloud security shortfalls
2022-12-22 04:00

"Several years ago in cybersecurity, companies realized that the single greatest threat vector was the individual end user. So, the focus shifted from perimeter and end-point security to automatically applying security at the user level," said Jeff Kukowski, CEO of CloudBolt. "I think this new report reveals a similar parallel in cloud security. Macro solutions that don't make cloud security automatic at the individual, cloud-provisioning 'moment of truth' create lots of opportunity for exposure and leave enterprises only 'somewhat, sometimes' secure. I predict 2023 will be the year we see significantly more focus on shoring up these current cloud security shortfalls. It's a very solvable problem when you apply the right approaches," Kukowski continued.

If you want to get cloud migration right, you must deal with an inconvenient truth: Cloud or hybrid cloud environments lower the drawbridge between your data center and the internet, and that creates opportunity as well as security risk.
