Traditional security solutions, designed for on-premises environments, struggle to adapt to the dynamic and expansive nature of cloud infrastructure. These legacy tools often feature cumbersome workflows and lack the deep understanding of cloud-specific attack vectors and vulnerabilities. As a result, they are ill-equipped to effectively secure the complex and ever-evolving cloud landscape.

Furthermore, relying on standalone Cloud Data Loss Prevention (CDLP) tools often leads to an overwhelming volume of fragmented data. This hinders real-time analysis and makes it difficult to identify and correlate threats across the diverse components of cloud environments. Such challenges underscore the need for a more integrated and intelligent approach to cloud security.

“Increasingly dynamic cloud environments are presenting visibility challenges for security with 44% reporting that threat detection and response is more difficult to conduct in cloud environments," said Dave Gruber, Principal Security Analyst at ESG. “SOC teams ...
