SECURING DYNAMIC CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS
Developing your solution checklist in a changing paradigm
PRESENTED BY
C transformed how we consume and deploy IT solutions . Compute power is rapidly evolving to a utility model , with shared infrastructure at its core . This shared infrastructure underpinning the cloud revolution has also driven a fundamental shift in how we design and deploy technology within the data centre .
Servers , storage , networks , even the data centre itself has moved beyond physical limits to become virtualised services residing on physical hardware . With this new virtual shared infrastructure model , comes new risks .
According to IDC , 75 % of organisations are implementing or considering the implementation of public cloud . Further , they predict that 50 % of enterprise workloads will migrate to public cloud by 2018 . At the same time , the threat environment is only expanding , and it is no longer the traditional hacker breaching the network perimeter that drives those who manage network security . East – west traffic , traffic between systems inside the network , now dominates the corporate data flow .
Hybrid cloud environments link corporate systems and applications to external data sources and customers .
Private cloud deployments serve up compute power as a service to application developers deploying new functionality to both internal and external users . The network design paradigm for the data centre is now flatter . u
