Why CSO must consider moving security to the cloud?

In today’s reality, Chief Security Officer, or CSO, is quite a frustrating job. You are always in a position to defend organization resources from ever growing threats, preventing the next attack or data leak and Identifying theft or a Virus which may encrypt corporate data.

Dealing with such challenges is even more complex when users and apps move more and more outside traditional security and perimeters, with the ever growing number of security devices, countless types of software integrated in data centers, limited IT staff… and with the capital investments that all of the above incorporate – you get the toughness of CSOs daily challenge.

This reality is forcing CSOs to reconsider alternative solutions in order to accommodate to these challenges. Corporate IT must now face a crossroad in which the traditional way of thinking is less and less relevant, and a new approach to Security in Cloud-oriented environments is required in order to face the new challenges within the corporate resources and capabilities.
