SDNEI AVELAR

Global NSE Architect - Fortinet

Title: Cloud security challenges - The Fortinet Approach

As cloud adoption accelerates, organizations are increasingly reliant on cloud-based services and infrastructures. Yet, organizations often end up with a heterogeneous set of technologies in use, with disparate security controls in various cloud environments. Cloud security must address unique requirements within each of its iterations. Public cloud relies on shared infrastructure and the need to operate in a common security model. Private cloud requires a software-defined approach to security due to the lack of visibility posed by east-west traffic and virtualized services. Hybrid cloud poses the challenge of combining critical internal resources with external connections and data sources, which increases the need to segment resources on the network. Today’s cloud security solutions can’t just be designed to prevent attacks. They must assume that sooner or later there will be some sort of breach—yet remain resilient to ensure the protection of assets and users.
