Hybrid cloud
Organisations used to be able to physically
isolate their workloads by putting a firewall
around the physical IT estate. Moving
increasingly to a hybrid IT model, the very first
question they need to ask is how to set up their
security in order to protect their greatest asset,
data, while no longer being the primary
custodian of that data.
