DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Asia-Pacific
Cloud Workload Security Industry Guide” report has been added
to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
Businesses are increasingly adopting cloud services as the imperative
way to embrace their digital transformation journey. By using cloud
services, they are able to leverage on the latest technologies to
increase productivity, reduce significant costs in terms of product
ownership, operation and maintenance.
Though most businesses know the benefits that cloud services can bring,
awareness around security for the cloud or cloud protection remains low
due to the misconceptions surrounding it. These are usually about the
security responsibility between cloud service providers and businesses
themselves.
The misconception is also about the way businesses use technologies to
protect cloud workloads. While protecting cloud requires a new approach,
many businesses are still using legacy technologies deployed on-premises
in the bid to protect their cloud assets. This is no longer effective
due to the rapid changing cloud app workloads.
As cloud workloads are increasing in number and getting more complex,
businesses need to have visibility into the cloud environment and fully
understand what, where, and how to protect these workloads.
Increase in the number of cloud workloads indicates willingness of
businesses to use cloud services. The shift from on-premise and private
cloud deployment to IaaS, PaaS, or even SaaS service models gives
greater flexibility and benefits to companies to focus more on their
core business operations. By deploying business workloads in the cloud,
companies are given the flexibility and room to adapt to the
fast-changing business environments, which ultimately requires frequent
changes to workloads.
A cloud workload protection (CWP) solution can be deployed in two
different ways, as an agent or an API-based/ Agentless solution. Each
deployment can offer advantages and disadvantages to protect workloads
in the cloud. Businesses need to evaluate and prioritize needs and
requirements in order to make the right decision in choosing the right
deployment model for their organizations.
A powerful CWP solution is feature-rich and is able to provide multiple
protection capabilities, which include but not limited to the likes of
server/ instance discovery, configuration management, workload
microservicization/ segmentation and tagging, hypervisor monitoring, app
container protection, file integrity monitoring, malware protection,
firewalling, intrusion prevention, etc. Not every CWP solution in the
market right now offers a full set of these features. Some solutions are
designed to manage cloud workloads configuration and monitor cloud
workload activity, whereas others focus on compliance monitoring and
control, monitoring network assets, identity theft protection, etc.
