3 TRENDS WHICH WILL DRIVE CLOUD SECURITY

In the future, the demands for security solutions that are specifically designed for the private cloud in company will be increasing. Nowadays, you do not need to become a security expert to recognize how much the threat landscape has evolved in the past.  All you have to do is to read the all frequent headlines about the latest data breach. In 2014 we saw a significant change in the IT security industry: the cloud became real as large enterprises adoption. Changes in infrastructure environments lead to changes in how organizations and companies protect against hide threats. Following are some dominant trends shaping cloud security for the next few years.

1. Security designed for the cloud uses the DevOps model

When we mention about how the largest companies’ software development lifecycle, the model has already changed. In spite of not mentioning the word “DevOps”, most of large enterprises describe the process of continuous delivery when they are asked about how changes that their software development lifecycle model is taking. Most of the security technologies do not operate in this fashion. What we can see in the cloud environments is the security teams are not contained here. 

The way organizations and companies do security is not certainly aligned with the way they conduct the development of private cloud. To gain the effects of security, it has to be self-provisioned, scalable, and on-demand.

2. Big data security analytics

Legacy security technologies have been already used for many years. However, those tools are not adequate to collect, analyze and identity cloud security incidents when deploying applications into a cloud environment. And conducting big data security analytics is not easy to gain the sufficiency on its own. Integration between cloud and security providers play an important role and it is crucial.  Not only do you build the cloud security technologies from the ground up, but you also have to ensure that the cloud provider could share enough access to their underlying infrastructure.

3. Cloud threat intelligence

One of the most active fields of research in security today is threat intelligence which includes context, indicators of compromise, and identifying additional threats with high fidelity. When hackers compromise a system, certainly, they leave some traces and indicators behind. This is a place that threat intelligence comes in.  When processing a large amount of big data security analytics, you have to access to more indicators and context of compromise so that you could know where to look, and what to look for. This is really important.
