This document discusses the need for organizations to have a smart protection strategy to secure their cloud environments from cyber threats. It notes that threats are becoming more challenging due to trends like cloud/virtualization, consumerization, and the actions of employees. An effective strategy uses global threat intelligence from multiple sources to detect both known and unknown threats. It advocates for network-wide detection, custom sandboxes for analysis, and automated security updates. The strategy aims to provide advanced, targeted protection while remaining simple to manage and deploy.
