SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA \u2013<\/em><\/strong> The future\u2019s security protection is expected to be built in the cloud; meaning, cloud needs need to be put first, with solutions needed to secure access to sensitive cloud-based data and mission-critical systems. This is the gist of the discussion of IT experts here at NetEvents, a gathering of technology sector experts and opinion shapers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As background, cloud spending across industries have been increasing over time. As per GVR (2020), the global cloud computing market size grew from around $266.0 billion in 2019 to around $289.7 billion in 2020. The catch: Even with organizations already hosting two fifths (41%) of their applications in the cloud, with the figure expected to increase to 57% in the next 18 months, as many as 81% of organizations actually experience a cloud-related security incident in the last 12 months, with at least 45% suffering at least four incidents, according to a 2022 study by Venafi<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaning, this concern is just expected to aggravate.<\/p>\n\n\n

According to MK Palmore, director of the Office of the CISO of Google Cloud, there is a need to rethink the issue of security since \u201ccloud changed the parameters of this (discourse).\u201d Here, \u201cbusineses need to take a moment to rethink cybersecurity. Old form frameworks are still applicable, but there needs to be reframing.\u201d This is particularly since \u201ca breach of an environment is a risk for everyone with data there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

This issue is \u2013 arguably \u2013 rushed by Covid-19, with the changing of the the ways businesses are now being run. Here, \u201cthe idea of remote work\u2026 has become preeminent,\u201d Palmore added, so that \u201cwhat we need to be concentrating on is the delivery of security at the point of entry. If you think about it in those terms\u2026 you begin to get the idea to get the users to get a seamless experience while getting business operability.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For Reduka Nadkarni, chief product officer of Aryaka, \u201cit\u2019s not an easy problem to solve\u201d since \u201cusers are working from home, coffee shops, etc<\/em>.\u201d With security seen as \u201cwhere the weakest link is\u201d, the focus for businesses should be \u201chow to make security enforceable.\u201d And for him, \u201csecurity has to be enforced closest to the source. Then you have a presence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not surprisingly, the 2022 Venafi study similarly found that 51% of security decision makers believe security risks are higher in the cloud than on premises, with cloud-related security incidents already experienced including: security incidents during runtime (34%), unauthorized access (33%), misconfigurations (32%), vulnerabilities that have not been remediated (24%), and a failed audit (19%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so for Srinivas Rao, AVP and solutions specialist of TATA Communications, \u201csecurity has to be built in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Prakash Mana, CEO of Cloudbrink, cloud is not a monolithic entity, and is \u201cdistributed\u201d. Dealig with this, therefore, needs to change since \u2013 if in the past \u201cwe used to facilities\u201d \u2013 businesses are now doing hybrid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
