As cloud technologies evolve and businesses jostle to become Agile, it’s time for cybersecurity to join the evolutionary race. Virtualization enabled physical data centers to transform, and cloud-based operating systems and application infrastructures served as the foundation for developers to access software resources without the headache of managing infrastructure.
However, cybersecurity has yet to take the bold step forward in line with the rest of the IT world. Security teams are expected to fight barehanded against hackers and malicious actors. Their traditional weapons such as firewalls, IPs, and host-based security tools are obsolete in the cloud, and cloud security tools that are meant to replace them are largely ineffectual.
