Multi-Cloud Goes Mainstream
The Risk is Growing
Cloud Enables Innovation
Multiple Clouds Create Multiple Challenges
Do You Have an Effective Cybersecurity Strategy?
Organizations are embracing multi-cloud strategies and taking advantage of emerging cloud native technologies and services. However, this can lead to troubling gaps in security as defending assets across multiple environments becomes increasingly complex.
Enterprises have embraced a multi-cloud approach to power digital innovation.
Enterprises are moving to multi-cloud to take advantage of disruptive new capabilities such as serverless functions, containers, relational databases as a service, and more—wherever they emerge.
Cloud adoption is increasing as organizations are transforming their business models and shifting their focus toward speed-to-market, leading to growth outpacing security.
Security risks and challenges multiply as organizations expand their cloud environments and adopt new cloud technologies and services.
84%of enterprises have a multi-cloud strategy1
95%of industry leaders see the cloud as a catalyst to innovation3
67%increase in security breaches in the last five years5
80%of organizations are introducing
digitally fueled innovation faster than their ability to secure it6
Lack of visibility across all cloud-
based assets
Inconsistency across security
capabilities
Inability to keep up with evolving threat
landscape
Limited security integration with
DevOps
Management complexity
69%of IT decision makers agree cloud services can enable organizations to more easily adopt emerging technologies4
3.4different clouds (both public and private) are used by
organizations to run enterprise applications2
Organizations Should Rethink Their Security Strategy
A multi-cloud security strategy should address all important security aspects of your organization, including:
Complete visibility into data, assets, and risks in the cloud
Reduced operational complexity and cost
Consistent security for access, data, and applications
Faster time to diagnose and resolve incidents
