451 Research Business Impact Brief “Native vs. Third Party: Who Should Deliver Cloud Security?” - Analyst Report

One of the core reasons organizations migrate to the cloud is its ability to simplify various operations and improve business agility – although this is often not the case for security. According to 451 Research’s latest Voice of the Enterprise: Cloud, Hosting & Managed Services, Workloads and Key Projects study, security remains the number one barrier to adoption of public cloud ahead of cost, reliability and performance.

The brief highlights the following takeaways –

• Protecting sensitive data takes on even greater importance in the cloud than in the old perimeter-based world, despite the perception that each customer’s data is inside a secure ‘black box’
• Many organizations start with native security tools, but then move to third-party offerings as their needs evolve and their cloud security programs mature
• Cloud Security must span multicloud and hybrid environments and third-part security vendors that can centralize and orchestrate key management across clouds can help organizations reduce complexity
