This month’s episode of Uncovering Hidden Risks discusses what it means to support multicloud, the risks of running a multicloud strategy, and how customers can think about this as they accelerate their digital transformation. Considering over 90% of organizations are already multicloud – meaning they rely on more than one cloud provider; it is important to understand how to protect people and data in a constantly evolving digital environment.

Joining our host Erica Toelle is our guest, Ashish Kumar. Ashish has over 25 years of experience in Engineering, Consulting, and Technology sales, helping businesses build products, increase revenue and market share, enhance branding, and lower operational costs. Ashish discusses the intersection between security and compliance, why knowing your posture is essential, and how we can have a safer digital world. You can also check out Ashish’s book, “Managing Risks in digital transformation.”

With the widespread adoption of the public cloud, more organizations are pivoting from a perimeter-based security model to a Zero Trust model. Under a Zero Trust model, all network connections are treated as threats that must be vetted, resulting in a proactive, boundaryless approach to security. Transitioning to Zero Trust security can take years of time, money, and effort—which is why it’s important to set yourself up for success. Read the e-book, 10 Tips for Enabling Zero Trust Security, to learn how to: Realign your access requests around identity.Use controls that grant access based on identity, access rights, device health, and a variety of other conditions.Plan for a strategy that includes both existing network protections and newer, identity-based controls.Aggregate your data using a security information and event management (SIEM) system.Empower your users to carry out self-service tasks, such as password resets.

Advances in cloud performance is paving the way for the acceleration of AI innovations across simulations, science, and industry.
