In almost every industry, cloud computing is the new reality, enabling greater speed, agility, innovation, and scalability. Using the inherent advantages of the cloud, companies can rapid- ly respond to changing business needs, capture new market opportunities, and continuously differentiate their offerings. It’s no wonder that today nearly 9 in 10 enterprises have a cloud- first strategy, and 68% of enterprises are running workloads on Amazon Web Services (AWS®).
With cloud usage a given, IT leaders must focus on an effective security and governance strategy, not only for the cloud but across the entire IT architecture. To do so, they need to understand two salient facts. First, the responsibility for cloud security is shared between cloud service providers and their customers. Second, attackers are location agnostic—their focus is to gain access to an organization’s IT infrastructure, wherever it is, and execute their end goal.
As an IT leader, you need to understand your organization’s responsibilities for cloud security and identify the necessary controls and protections available today for securing your cloud applications (also known as workloads) and data. You’ll learn about all these areas and more in this e-guide, where Palo Alto Networks and AWS join forces to separate fact from fiction about cloud security as well as provide proven recommendations on how to secure and govern at the speed of the cloud.
