Act on preventive measures at the earliest to reduce exposure to cyberattacks, say experts

Enterprises are transforming to accommodate the hybrid workforce, data centre cloud migration, and SOC automation. Besides, the adoption of a hybrid cloud has spurred a growing demand for consumption-based IT, where the cloud consumption models are making their way into on-premises data centres, creating opportunities for channel partners. While resorting to the various modes of cloud consumption, enterprises are being habituated with cloud security as a practice.

Responding to this, several security vendors have begun to recommend Zero Trust for the cloud as an approach to cybersecurity that simplifies risk management to a single-use case. Irrespective of the situation, user, user location, and access method, the security becomes one single use case with the most extreme cybersecurity checks, owing to Zero Trust.

Cyber threats are making their presence felt everywhere, and legacy security is no match for them. Thus, the future is zero trust with zero expectations. To explore the future of this, YourStory along with AWS and Palo Alto Networks, recently organised a roundtable discussion that was a part of the three-event meetup series titled ‘Security Conclave: Transforming Cloud Security with Zero Trust

Security in times of cyber threats

In a post-pandemic era when digitalisation has scaled up, what would be the amount of emphasis placed on cybersecurity practices for businesses?

cybersecurity is sacrosanct, especially in the fintech domain. “For the last six years, we have been dealing with millions of data points that classify strongly as PII or personally identifiable information.

Risk, vulnerability, and threat, in the context of security, is commonplace. “Threats arise from vulnerability while targeting your assets. Interestingly, the attacker can opt for hundred attempts, but one wrong move of carelessness would spoil the entire game.
