Introducing Cisco Cloud Protection - Complete Protection, From Ground To Cloud
Cisco News, Thursday, November 9,2023
A few weeks ago, I was speaking with a CISO who said, 'Our team is coming to the conclusion right now that we need to hire experts for every cloud - GCP, Azure, AWS - just to maintain our existing security. We don't have the headcount for that.'
This wasn't the first time I've heard this. In fact, it's become a common theme in my conversations with customers and partners. That's because today, most organizations have two or three public clouds on top of their private cloud. As the number of clouds in their environment rose, so did the number of tools, vendors, and licensing agreements needed to protect those environments. Not only have all these disparate point solutions increased the need for specialized training and expertise, but they also create headaches for network and security teams due to all the gaps, blind spots, and inconsistent - or even competing - information from siloed products.
Solving for these multicloud problems - the expanded attack surface, loss of visibility, and strained resources, while supporting rapid application development and deployment - calls for a new approach. One that addresses today's challenges holistically, not piecemeal, building security in from the start and providing a framework that enables organizations to grow securely with confidence.
