4. Cloud presents the opportunity to radically transform
security practices
Dynamic Cloud Security
Standardized, automated,
agile, and elastic
Traditional Security
Manual, static,
and reactive
Cloud security is not only achievable, it is an opportunity
to drive the business, improve defenses and reduce risk

5. Clients focus on three imperatives for improving security
Detect threats with
visibility across clouds
Govern the
usage of cloud
Protect workloads
and data in the cloud
How can I understand who
is accessing the cloud
from anywhere, at anytime?
How can I fix vulnerabilities
and defend against attacks
before they’re exploited?
How can I obtain a
comprehensive view of cloud
and traditional environments?
“I can take advantage
of centralized cloud
logging and auditing
interfaces to hunt
for attacks.”
“Going to the cloud
gives me a single
choke point for all user
access ‒ it provides
much more control.”
“Cloud gives me
security APIs and
preconfigured policies
to help protect my data
and workloads”
