Software-defined secure networking is ideal for hybrid cloud security

We tend to use the nebulous term “the cloud” as a catch-all phrase that implies any type of hosted environment, but it’s important to dig beneath the term when network security is at stake. In reality, “the cloud” can actually take a number of different forms. Compute capabilities can be managed in a cloud service provider environment and server workloads migrated into a managed service offering – the most traditional and popular cloud approach. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions like Salesforce or Office 365 can be used to receive cloud provider services without agencies having to define anything about the applications themselves. There are also cloud-native applications, such as microservices, which can be threaded and delivered in various regions of the cloud environment at any time. Each of these approaches can test an agency’s perimeter security efforts in their own way, which is why it is critical for us to look at […]
