Overview
-
Cloud adoption is rapidly increasing, with organisations moving more data, workloads, and applications to public cloud and AWS.
-
Many are actively transitioning away from legacy platforms like VMware, seeking greater agility and cost efficiency.
-
Security is a top priority: data exposure during migration, identity challenges, misconfigurations, and compliance failures are common risks.
-
Most organisations rely on third-party tools and consultants for cloud security, and only a minority manage security solely in-house.
-
Compliance requirements and regulations such as GDPR, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001 are major sources of complexity and often delay migration projects.
-
Securing AI models is now a mainstream concern, alongside traditional cloud security risks.
