Ensuring application availability and security in the cloud

The lifeblood of many businesses is under attack

Published May 2015

Organisations relying on online applications to deliver services to customers and generate revenues for the business must contend with an increasingly hostile and complex threat environment. The challenge is complicated when IT leaders move these applications to a public, private or hybrid cloud. Without communications and interactions between on-premise security and hosted applications, organizations lose visibility and control over application security and availability. As organisations move to the cloud for agility, efficiency and cost savings, they need to align their security approach accordingly, and adopt a novel – yet proven – approach for striking a balance between availability and security of applications in the cloud.
