It ’ s no longer business as usual for cybersecurity

Dramatically accelerated by the pandemic , your move to the cloud has fundamentally altered your organisation ’ s relationship with users , apps and data and how they interact with each other . In terms of productivity , this has unlocked unprecedented ways for anyone , regardless of their location or device , to stay productive and collaborate . But this also deconstructed the many assumptions that we had about cybersecurity . With very little residing exclusively within a defined perimeter , your sensitive corporate data is now exposed to new risks .

Operationally , this means your IT and security teams cannot rely on specialised appliancebased tools , as they have little insight into cloud activities . A recent survey showed that 66 % of IT professionals have seen an increase in security incidents and requests due to remote work . In a different 2021 report , 63 % of respondents said their organisation had sensitive data exposed in the cloud .

Why is protecting data in the cloud so hard ?

Your IT infrastructure has become very complicated , where there ’ s a product for every use case . Some are used for fixed and mobile endpoints ; some to provide access controls to apps , and to identify and authenticate users ; and some to protect internet access . No wonder large enterprises have an average of 76 security products deployed in 2022 – a number that ’ s up from an already astonishing 64 security products deployed in 2019 . Each product was likely purchased individually to solve a single problem , which means they operate in isolation and don ’ t communicate with each other .

What this means is that silos emerge within your organisation . Your IT and security teams have to divide and conquer to manage separate policy frameworks and learn how to use the different management interfaces or consoles . Not only does this make it very difficult to get a holistic picture of how your sensitive data is handled , it also makes it difficult to enforce consistent policies , which leaves gaps and potential for human error . �

Protecting data may sound simple , but it ’ s not , especially when you ’ re juggling multi-cloud environments and a dispersed workforce .
