New Research from Sumo Logic Reveals Widespread Demand for Disruptive Security Analytics Tools to Accelerate Modern Cloud TransitionsSurvey Finds 90 Percent of Security Professionals Feel Today’s On-Premises Tools for the Cloud are Failing; Sumo Logic Showcases Advanced Cloud Security Analytics at RSA Including Threat Intelligence, Investigation Workflows, GDPR Readiness and DevSecOps Enablement REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sumo Logic, the leading cloud-native, machine data analytics platform that delivers continuous intelligence for modern applications, today announced the findings of an independent global survey that found security professionals lack the necessary tools and processes needed to provide visibility in the cloud and to converge development, security and operations (DevSecOps) to better identify, investigate and prioritize security and compliance threats for modern applications in the cloud. These findings underscore the need for a new class of converged operations and security solutions integrating application insight within infrastructure defense empowering DevSecOps teams to move 10 times faster and do more with less resources. According to the 2018 Global Security Trends in the Cloud report, a research study conducted by Dimensional Research on behalf of Sumo Logic, 93 percent of respondents faced challenges when deploying their current on-premises security tools in the cloud and 97 percent lacked the tools, cross-functional collaboration and resources to gain proper insight into security across the organization. Key findings include: Existing Security Tools Not a Fit for Cloud
Security in the Cloud Requires an Organizational Shift
Despite Current Limitations, Strong Appetite for Change
“The bottom line is that organizations don’t have a handle on their data, and therefore, on their security,” said George Gerchow, CSO, Sumo Logic. “This creates a massive backlog of uninvestigated threats, and damage that could have been prevented if teams had better visibility across their infrastructure. Further compounding these challenges are new regulatory requirements like GDPR, that demand a flexible and scalable SaaS-based solution that traditional legacy SIEM and security tools bult for on-premises don’t offer.” As a cloud-native, multi-tenant machine data analytics platform, Sumo Logic provides full support across all major cloud platforms — Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) — to address unique customer needs, regardless of where they are in their cloud journey. In addition to traditional on-premises data from various technologies — firewall, endpoint, CASB and infrastructure — Sumo Logic’s holistic approach enables customers to more easily migrate to our cloud platform without any of the headache or archaic ways required in the past. A security-by-design approach has been a part of the Sumo Logic DNA over the past eight years and these latest cloud security analytics enhancements to the existing Sumo Logic platform further validate the company’s vision to provide a leading cloud security analytics solution that will fuel innovations for the new world of modern applications. “These findings are directly in line with customer adoption trends in our Modern Applications in the Cloud report and it indicates a clear cry for help from IT and security teams that are struggling to adapt their legacy tools like SIEM for modern IT infrastructure, and desperately need an entirely new security model built for the cloud,” said Gerchow. “The market has failed them, and the time is ripe for a leader to emerge because every dollar spent on outdated tools and solutions not only exacerbates these current security posture obstacles, but also negatively impacts business reputation and the customer experience. Born in AWS, Sumo Logic has always held a cloud-first approach and our vision is to create a leading cloud security analytics platform to help our customers overcome these challenges.” New Security Features and Functionality to be Previewed at RSA 2018
