Good old perimeter security, enforced by traditional firewall protection, is now combined with distributed firewalls, public cloud native security controls and third-party security services. The shared-responsibility security model means that IT organizations need to assume accountability for the data and overall security posture, as this is not exclusively the cloud providers’ responsibility. Today, more than ever, enterprise security teams are challenged to stretch their tried-and-true security policies to their extended deployments. They lack visibility across this growing estate, they can’t keep up with DevOps, and they are unable to properly analyze risk.
