Moving to the Cloud Has Required a Change in Security Strategy
Following the rapid move to the cloud during the pandemic, Weiss said, it’s been necessary to take a step back and ensure visibility. “But as you evolve everything to the cloud very quickly, mistakes can be made. So, now we’re looking at taking that shift and making sure that risk is reduced,” he said.
“When we look at risk, the runtime in cloud is second to none,” Weiss said. “So, we look at things like having tools in place to minimize exposure for things like multifactor authentication to those controls, new technologies for things like CASB and cloud data loss prevention.”
“We look at things like SASE for risk mitigation. There’s user profile SASE, and there’s also data-centric SASE. Bringing those two together really allows us to minimize risk for customers as they’re evolving to the cloud and leveraging existing technologies that they have in place today,” Weiss explained.
Weiss offered some examples of the existing technologies that could be leveraged, including “SD-WAN, particularly for cloud, which allows us to leverage an existing firewall investment and give users remote access…
