Jason Deign explains why new kinds of cyber defense are needed for companies that are reaching to the cloud for vital applications.
It is not often that IT gets to steal a lead on cyber threats. Most often, hackers rule the game. New threats turn up and new shields are put in place to block them. But when it comes to IT's latest trick, the shields are being put in place before the threat has become a real danger.
The latest trick is the cloud. Or, to be more precise, how firms are now using the cloud to host vital data at lower cost than ever before. Putting critical data in the cloud was risky before, because you could never be sure if your wide area network (WAN) connectivity would hold up.
In recent years, though, things have changed. Software-defined networks now make sure connectivity to any branch can perform to the same standard as a traditional WAN.

I can't even read the article without running proprietary scripts. I suppose that's also for "security"
