Skyhigh Targets Cloud Adoption Challenges With Three Breakthrough Cloud-Native Data Security InnovationsAt the company's first-ever livestreamed Cloud-Native Data Security Summit at 10 a.m. PDT today, Skyhigh, the cloud security company, will unveil three innovations that enable organizations to protect data in the cloud. These new breakthroughs aims to solve unique security challenges that the scale, speed and user-centric nature of the cloud present, and thus enable organizations to leverage the power of cloud to accelerate their businesses. Data is an organization's most valuable asset. As organizations strive to identify, control and protect data in the cloud, and a world in which traditional network-centric security technologies become less relevant, they must reframe their security strategy to focus on securing data natively in the cloud. This is the foundational premise of Skyhigh's Cloud-Native Data Security (CNDS) framework. "Today, we are in the age of cloud. And within the persistent ebb-and-flow of information, security needs to empower IT to provide data protection without disrupting the breakneck speed of modern business," said Mauro Loda, Chief Cloud Security Architect, DuPont. "With a CNDS approach, we can enforce security policies like data loss prevention (DLP), rights management, data classification, threat protection and encryption through a single security platform designed in the cloud, for the cloud." To help businesses surmount cloud-scale challenges, Skyhigh will introduce three new technologies into its CNDS framework:
The new technologies, all available today in Skyhigh Security Cloud, represent a major breakthrough for the CASB market, which analysts describe as one of the fastest growing security categories in history. Since introducing the radical idea of a single control-point for all cloud activity five years ago, Skyhigh's CASB platform has grown to deliver security policy enforcement, automation and intelligence to billions of cloud transactions every hour, across many of the largest organizations in the world. "Data is the lifeblood of all businesses, and cloud services allow organizations to collect, analyze and share data to accelerate the business. Organizations require a security platform that protects data in the cloud, thus enabling the secure adoption of cloud, not a patchwork of legacy, network-centric security technologies blind to the sharing of data in the cloud," said Rajiv Gupta, CEO, Skyhigh. "A security platform for the cloud has to be data-centric and cloud-native: designed for the scale, speed and user-centric nature of the cloud. The Skyhigh CNDS framework and the three critical technologies we are releasing today enable organizations to securely adopt cloud to accelerate their business." Additional Information
