Security blind spots

Choosing your route

Cloud journey

Move to a primary cloud provider in a SaaS, IaaS and PaaS environment to expand footprint.

Security focus

Optimize integration and incremental change, with security that adds to your existing tool suite; work in native environments and infuse that into tools your teams already know; involves software engineering policy as code (DevSecOps).

Cloud journey

Move to a hybrid/multi-cloud environment; more complex but provides longer-term resilience.

Security focus

Disrupt and modernize complex systems; take on more strategic, forward-looking activities, such as adopting zero trust to transform the network security approach; initiate talent and culture shifts and changes to underlying security architecture.

Use security as a compass

Security is the compass that helps guide effective decisions along the cloud journey.
