Demystifying Security in an Open, Hybrid Multicloud Environment

Demystifying Security in an Open, Hybrid Multicloud Environment

We are currently witnessing a massive transition across organizations as more companies move application workloads to hybrid multicloud environments. This process of cloud migration and realignment will further accelerate digital transformation, and there are significant benefits for organizations, including cost savings, lowered total cost of ownership (TCO) and increased business agility. The core principles of business agility demand that organizations not only thrive in a competitive environment but also adapt to market changes, respond flexibly to customer needs and, at the same time, stay cost-effective. The organization’s journey to hybrid multicloud adoption and acceleration is not only compelling, but also inevitable.


Despite the obvious benefits of hybrid multicloud adoption, this transition has, however, compounded many security challenges, including exposure to threats and increased complexity — organizations must remain secure and, simultaneously, remain connected in open, fragmented and intensified regulatory compliance protocols. As a result, organizations appropriately require a paradigm shift in their approach, re-engineering and reinventing their cloud security strategy.


Security Built on Open Architecture


The foundation of that re-engineering lies in a security strategy that is built on open architecture and open standards. In an open, hybrid multicloud environment, DevOps teams strive on collaboration across development, testing and support functions. Containerized applications are efficiently being built, deployed, updated and maintained while addressing the demands of business agility and resilience, resulting in reduced time to market and rollouts.


Operating in an agile DevOps environment emphasizes the need for security to be built on o ..
