Facing pressure to do more work with fewer resources and a continuing cybersecurity skills shortage, organizations are looking to consolidate resources to drive more efficiencies in securing cloud-resident data while reducing overall risk. To secure data across hybrid environments, organizations are consolidating the efforts of on-premises and cloud data security teams. Multiple stakeholders, led by cloud security architects, create consistent security policies and determine security control requirements. Organizations also want an integrated platform that combines multiple security tools and controls and provides a global view of all organizational data. In the long run, controls tailored to secure data based on where it resides (on premises, SaaS, or IaaS/PaaS) will be used to account for the different techniques used across different environments.
