Did you have enough yet? Sufficient complexity, uncertainty, lack of vision? Today's IT leaders are trying to manage the most complex environments in history, with data roaming between public and private cloud platforms, local data centers, edge and more servers. It is unfortunate that the poor security chiefs: with all of this to maintain safety, it is amazing to sleep at all.
In a conversation with the editor -in -chief of Biztech Administrative Bob Kevini, Daniel Bernard, chief business official in the security seller, Crowdstrike, argues that the most simplistic approach to security – with less clear solutions – not only possible, but necessary.

Biztech: What do you think of the current situation of cloud security? How are the organizations?
Bernard: Cloud security is developing quickly, and organizations face a critical moment. On the one hand, we are witnessing a tremendous innovation and accelerated deportation to the cloud, where companies benefit from their scope and speed to convert operations. Artificial intelligence is an acceleration to adopt the cloud, create data and innovation. On the other hand, the surface of the attack expands at the same speed. The opponents are more sophisticated, and they often target identity, AI and cloud work burdens as entry points.
The good news is that more organizations are aware of the restrictions imposed on segmented tools. The future of cloud safety lies in monotheism – integrated platforms that offer vision and protection through disregard, Saas applications, data centers and hybrid environments. Leaders began to deal with cloud security as a public investment and they are in the subsequent idea. This transformation is late – it is necessary.

Biztech: What are the biggest challenges in securing hybrid environments with many cloud service providers and local data?
Bernard: Equalization of hybrid environments is similar to an attempt to secure multiple mobile targets. You wander around multiple ecosystems, each of which has its own safety, policies and weaknesses frameworks, while the risks cannot be higher.
Several organizations were overwhelmed with an increasing number of solutions working in silos. This fragmented approach force security teams to set fire control, care and nourish multiple products and tools, while responding to threats instead of preventing or treating them. Blind spots, slow response times, and exploit the chaos between these products.
The solution is the monotheism led by innovation. Integrated platforms, based on continuous innovation, uniform vision, discovering active threats, and enabling smooth treatment through advanced and vital cloud environments. Simplification of security allows institutions to focus on stopping violations, not complexity management. The key is unified on a platform not only keeping pace with threats, but remains at the forefront, and surpasses the market with proven experience and an uncompromising focus on the defense that the opponents move.
Biztech: What do organizations make mistakes when it comes to cloud security?
Bernard: Organizations are often located in one of three traps. Some believe that cloud service providers deal with everything, leaving the critical gaps that opponents accelerate to exploit. Others live in the past, stuck with Legacy solutions that have not evolved to address modern threats.
Finally, some publish dozens of sellers or more, only to find most of them have not been operated or merged, and the costs become repressive.

Double these issues is a separation within the same organizations. It often leads the adoption of Devops or engineering, leaving security teams outside the operation on the island. This creates gaps in experience, vision and power, and left security teams struggling in order to protect what they did not design, and they do not know and sometimes do not understand.
To obtain this correctly, companies must align security with the strategy from the beginning. Tools must be turned on to protect environments while reducing complexity.
Biztech: How does artificial intelligence change the cloud safety equation?
Bernard: Amnesty International is reshaping security at every level. For users, it comes to productivity budget with protection – employees use tools that have been punished without exposing sensitive data. For institutions, it comes to securing the entire life cycle of artificial intelligence: protecting data that trains artificial intelligence models, protecting environments in which these models are created and secure in all AI integration.
Institutions need solutions that provide an insight into artificial intelligence activity – including non -displayed use cases throughout the company, protect their models, and ensure safe publishing. Amnesty International Security for Amnesty International – it is the next development of cloud security, and those they master will lead the package.
Biztech: Is the nature of the cloud – its flexibility and speed – creates its own security challenges?
Bernard: Certainly. The cloud's ability to expand immediately and push innovation is its greatest strength and its greatest challenge. The attack surface expands and offers new risks faster than the traditional security models that can be dealt with.
Just as we had to secure the first computers and data centers, we must now secure the cloud. This is where the unified platform approach becomes necessary. The Crowdstrike platform is designed to quickly expand its range, providing vision and protection through hybrid environments without slowing innovation. The question is not whether the cloud creates challenges-it is how you are ready to meet them face to face.
