Containers and hybrid cloud technologies have made the security landscape much more complex. Security teams are increasingly finding it challenging to keep up with the changing risks, compliance requirements, tools, and architectural changes introduced by these technologies.
Traditional perimeter-based network security is no longer effective on its own, and security teams must rethink their approach to incorporate modernZero Trust Architecture principles such as microsegmentation, continuous user validation, and the prevention of lateral movement.
Security should be implemented within each layer of the application and infrastructure stack. Authorization between people and systems and between systems should be explicit instead of assumed. People and processes should be aligned to continuously monitor and address security early in an automated way.
