Background for this topic.
Cloud computing involves delivering computing services—such as storage, processing, and networking—over the internet using remote data centers. This model enables organizations to scale resources dynamically without owning physical infrastructure. In security terms, the cloud environment is defined by multi-tenant infrastructure where multiple customers share hardware and software resources managed by a cloud provider.
Key security concerns include controlling access through strong identity and access management (IAM), protecting data with encryption both at rest and in transit, and managing vulnerabilities in shared infrastructure components. The cloud’s shared responsibility model requires customers to secure their applications and data while providers secure the underlying platform. Misconfigurations, weak access controls, and insufficient monitoring can expose cloud assets to unauthorized access or data leakage, making precise configuration and continuous security assessment essential.
Join the Register and Palo Alto Networks to hear the merits of the agents vs agentless approach Sponsored Cloud security is a challenge likely to keep a lot of IT professionals awake at night. So there might be some relief in knowing what types of tool offer the best protection – agent-based or agentless – and if organizations really have to rely on just one or the other.…
Bypasses an arduous integration process with right security footing from the start When Jay Chaudhry launched Zscaler in 2007, he envisioned a number of use cases for the zero-trust platform, from security for a growing distributed, virtualized IT environment a nascent cloud computing environment to improved network visibility and identity governance.…
