We have always felt there is nothing greater than a good story. This edition of
Power List is an initiative from CISO MAG where we are all ears to the stories of
companies that have been striving to reach the pinnacle of cloud security. All
the companies featured in the issue have a great story to tell and many have a
legacy the rest of the world will follow. This issue addresses several critical areas
of cloud security and highlights the best practices that need to be established to
ensure the security of cloud.
The issue begins with the Knowledge Hub, which details the steps companies
must take when embarking on a cloud journey. The article speaks at length about
the different models that exist as well as choosing the one that is right for your
organization. In our View Point section, we talk about cloud security in the new
age era and precautions companies must take in securing their infrastructure,
with a focus on the Middle East market. Move to our Insight section where
we talk about cloud bursting and hybrid cloud adoption. The article details
the challenges around securing hybrid cloud and the zero-trust model many
companies are adopting to ensure cloud security.
We have also published a research report where we track the cloud security
challenges organizations are facing, including how vulnerabilities in cloud
security have hindered cloud adoption and how these challenges have been
overcome. We have also dive deeper into the cloud space to understand the
prominent trends of cloud security.
For this issue, we have interviewed Rasheed Alodah, Managing Director, Trend
Micro, Saudi Arabia, where he talks in detail about his journey, the ever-evolving
landscape of cloud security, the market strategy Trend Micro has adopted to stay
on top of the game, and the threats in the cloud security space.
Through the ensuing articles on the Power List, we have listed the powerhouses
in the space of cloud security that have, through the years, been at the forefront
of innovation and technology. These include companies like Symantec, Akamai,
Fortinet, and Cisco. We have also told the stories of companies like Trend Micro,
Safe T, Oblique Drive, and Dark Trace and outlined their commitment toward
better cloud security. This issue is dedicated to the stories surrounding these
companies that have been on the frontlines of cloud generally, and cloud security
specifically.
