Security teams need an adversary-focused approach that automates security controls regardless of the cloud provider or deployment model. Security tools have not kept up with new ways of work, the exponential increase in vulnerable endpoints and workloads, and lack of understanding around cloud-based threats. Security teams must also understand the need to protect applications during coding and run time. Security teams are often playing behind the needs of security teams when it comes to defending their cloud environments. An adversary focused approach can help safeguard cloud environments before an attacker finds their way in.”]
