Cloud Security Calls for Collaboration and Consistency

Cloud security efforts are some of the top priorities for organizations of all sizes due to requirements both from senior IT leadership – who see adoption of cloud technologies as part and parcel of digital transformation efforts – and from security leadership – who see cloud security as a key capability that security teams need to address. It should be noted that cloud security efforts include not only securing public cloud environments but also on-premises deployments of technologies such as containers, Kubernetes and serverless execution alongside virtual machines.

This paper, in partnership with 451 Group, shows that addressing cloud security requires a combination of efforts to tackle improvements across people, processes and tooling.
