Your IT Infrastructure Is Hybrid. So Why Not Your Security Model?
Security Boulevard, Thursday, May 29th, 2025
Today's IT infrastructure is a mixed bag. The move to public clouds, private clouds and edge computing has created an extremely diverse environment, yet the on-premise data center hasn't gone away.
Whether for compliance reasons or to support mission-critical legacy applications, the data center still plays an important role in the mix. Hybrid infrastructure has become the norm. While this offers the flexibility to optimize computing resources to meet specific application needs, it creates a challenge for security teams: How can you ensure consistent protection across those disparate systems and resources?
As hybrid environments have become more diverse and complex, the attack surface expands, increasing the need for protection and dramatically heightening cyber risk. That's why I believe it's time for organizations to align their security strategies with today's hybrid deployment reality.
