Fortinet 2022 Cloud Security ReportBy Frederick Harris, Sr. Director of Product Marketing, Cloud Security at Fortinet | ||
Dubai, United Arab Emirates The COVID-19 pandemic and the shift to work-from-anywhere has forced organizations to significantly advance their digital acceleration initiatives, resulting in increasingly hybrid IT networks to help deliver better access to applications and data. In many cases, these assets are distributed across data center networks and cloud deployments that are in a constant state of flux. In addition to the added complexity of managing hybrid IT architectures, organizations underwent forced acceleration to the cloud due to external factors such as competitive pressures or supply chain issues. The lack of time to properly plan and coordinate around these efforts has led to security gaps across an expanded attack surface. Now, today’s organizations are scrambling to provide consistent security and policy everywhere to defend against attacks without disrupting business operations.
