Today we celebrate the women of South Africa who continue in the footsteps of previous generations by fighting for equality, embracing strong work ethics, and pushing that glass ceiling right out of the way! Here’s to you 🥂

Cybersecurity: What is automation’s role in cloud-based networks?

Cloud-based networks depend on many devices and consist of a number of endpoints. While their management is demanding, a competently-engineered, centralised security system is able to enhance vital functions such as web filtering and boost traffic analysis on a proactive basis.

Essentially, this is as a result of the automation built into a fully-managed system which is geared to deliver around-the-clock protection with minimal human interaction and – importantly – administer critical system patch updates.

Is there a key to the efficacy of cybersecurity barriers?

Unless users have a distinct understanding of their cloud services - in terms of how many instances are running, for example - it will be near-impossible to ensure the efficacy of cybersecurity barriers such as access authentication, traffic filtering and others.

Similarly, a clear visibility of assets, networks and cloud resources and how they are allocated is also vital if the constantly-evolving and increasingly-sophisticated malware security threats with which organisations are regularly faced are to be mitigated.

Cloud security and the need to clear confusion

More than 80% of South African businesses increased their spending on cloud computing in the last two years. Has this money been wisely spent? We see evidence of confusion around the levels of security associated with cloud services, particularly as this applies to work-from-home staff.

Do you ascribe this state of confusion to the corporate anxiety associated with managing the hybrid workforce that has developed since the pandemic?

A clear insight into how a cloud infrastructure will evolve is needed to allow decision-makers to plan ahead and keep abreast of advancements in cloud security.
