Effec ve cybersecurity requires extensive IT exper se and technological
power that can drama cally compound both costs and risk
for enterprises. And with each successive cloud deployment,
the poten al for vulnerability follows. As a company's cloud
infrastructure grows and diversifies, added endpoints, APIs and
integra ons create more entry points for intrusion and risk—both from
external and internal sources.
By 2023, the total number of DDoS a acks worldwide will be 15.4
million (Cisco Annual Internet Report 2018-2023, Cisco Systems). Factor
in that internal security risks, whether an inten onal act from a disgruntled
employee or an accident like losing a USB drive, account for nearly three-
quarters of new security threat instances, and it's no wonder that IT
leaders list security as one of their top cloud-related concerns in survey
a er survey (Flexera 2021 State of Cloud Report).
A large part of that concern emanates from simply not knowing what
they don't know. IT execu ves who don't specialize in cybersecurity will
have blind spots in their security plans and opera ons that can leave their
organiza on exposed.
