CLOUD
says . “ Cloud providers have a responsibility to not only monitor the threat landscape but provide their clients with the necessary technology to protect the data they are entrusted with .”
In order to confront cyber threats , businesses must evolve to embrace new cloud-based technologies . Often , legacy infrastructure lacks advanced security features to keep up with new digital threats , which can make it challenging for businesses to detect and respond to cyber threats .
Ben Scowen , Vice President UK & I Cloud & Core Leader at Kyndryl , notes that businesses must evolve to embrace new cloud-based technologies – which involves changing the benchmarks for security . Too often , organisations continue to face challenges when it comes to implementing strong cloud security measures .
“ The cybersecurity landscape has significantly expanded to accommodate evolving IT environments ,” he explains . “ Although organisations have invested in layered , in-depth security point solutions , the siloed approach makes it difficult to grapple with the growing sophistication and frequency of cyberattacks .
“ Security leaders need to shift from the current siloed security approach to a new zero trust architecture , an integrated framework that is underpinned by governance across five elements : identity , device , network , apps and data .”
With a robust framework , the cloud can help to enhance the security posture
