Businesses transitioning to the cloud face the “security chasm” between traditional and cloud security models, says Fortinet.

South Africa, like the rest of the world, is facing a critical shortage of qualified cyber security professionals for cloud computing.

Peel urged organisations to unite on-premises and cloud teams, to work together to find security solutions. “On processes, generally the cloud team does not want to deal with the on-premises team because they think it takes a lot of time and is filled with bureaucracy. In a cloud journey, you need to automate all the processes to make the necessary changes in a business.

“This is because the story of going all-in on cloud is going to take many years. We are going to have the hybrid model for a long time. It means different challenges in ensuring data protection in each environment. You also need the right skills to protect this data. “We are often told that moving to the cloud increases security, but what we see from a data perspective, is that 44% of the respondents said public cloud risk is somewhat to significantly higher than on-premises.”

The cyber security challenges associated with the cloud and the need for enhanced security measures in cloud environments have become more critical in the face of new AI-based threats, says Fortinet.Adopting a cyber security mesh architecture proposed by Gartner can protect cloud environments, Peel noted.
