Cloud-First Systems Need A Cloud-First Defensive Strategy

Businesses, large and small, are embracing the Cloud. No matter which research company, vendor or expert you consult, everyone agrees that about four in every five enterprise workloads are either already in the Cloud or will be within the next few months. That means the best-practice security strategy you established just a year or two ago may no longer be fit for purpose.

What does a Cloud-ready security architecture look like? It starts by considering what risks you are trying to mitigate. Whether your business operates a hybrid model with a combination of Cloud and on-premises services or a fully Cloud-based operation, you need to be ready for today’s threats.
