believe they do not need to re-evaluate

wake-up call for everyone in the multicloud
security space.
This evidence shows the need to adopt a

approach to give the power back to
IT and security teams so they can
provide a secure and consistent secure

their clouds. Powered by application

Polynimbus mindsets and practices will
be the most effective way to ensure

An answer to this question is seen in
the high ranking of centralised security
policies as a critical practice for
multi-cloud IT (46%). Among defensive
technologies, many respondents called
out specific high-value defences such as
robust web application firewalls (WAFs)
(40%) and DDoS protection (33%).
IT operations need to partner
with the security teams for crosscloud
security
Organisations have been doing their
best with the security tools available
to them, but they’re far from satisfied
with the results. “At this juncture, we’re
taking advantage of security solutions
from our public cloud providers
augmented with our existing toolset,
but we are continuing to evolve in that
space,” said Mohan.
Indeed, IT organisations are continually
reassessing their solutions and vendors
and identifying areas where change is
needed. Only 9% of survey respondents
are extremely satisfied with their current
security solutions for multi-cloud
environments – while 38% see a need
for significant improvements. Only 18%
policies, functionality and expectations
are met, while easing the burden of overworked
and stressed IT and security
teams. Ultimately, this approach will
make vigilance easier to enact and
responsibility easier to fulfil. u
