Top Five Cloud Security Threats

The pandemic put strong pressures on organizations to modernize their infrastructure. The sudden rush of remote workers using virtual desktop infrastructure has resulted in surges and strains within current IT infrastructure. Organizations then were faced with a difficult choice: continue operations with slow, and at times insufficient capacity to support its workers, or upgrade their IT infrastructure. Upgrading IT infrastructure provides its own challenges: on-prem upgrades are an expensive endeavor and a considerable effort must be put into provisioning the right amount of hardware. Under-provisioning could potentially result in disruptions to operations and over-provisioning would result in wasted expenses. The other option is migrating to the cloud, which although does allow for elasticity with provisioning, does have challenges in the massive, timeand resource-intensive process of replacing legacy systems with cloud-based SaaS enterprise software.

In the same way that server virtualization programmatically creates and manages virtual machines, NSXT Data Center network virtualization programmatically creates and managed software-based virtual networks. With network virtualization, the functional equivalent of a network hypervisor reproduces the complete set of Layer 2 through Layer 7 networking services (for example, switching, routing, access control, firewalling, QoS) in software. As a result, these services can be programmatically assembled in any arbitrary combination, to produce unique, isolated virtual networks in a matter of seconds.

Cloud environments change fundamental assumptions in how to perform threat detection and response. The highly dynamic inventory of cloud workloads means systems come and go in seconds. When system configuration errors are introduced during a build, they can be exacerbated and amplified when automation replicates the errors across many workloads. Shared responsibility with the cloud service provider (CSP) creates potential threat detection gaps in the attack lifecycle.

VMware vSAN 2-node cluster is a configuration that is implemented in environments where a minimal configuration is a key requirement. VxRail v4.7.100 was the first release to support the vSAN 2-node cluster with direct-connect configuration. Starting with VxRail v4.7.410, vSAN 2-node cluster with switch configuration is also supported.

Secure, seamless remote network access is a business enabler — boosting remote user productivity and reducing the time spent by IT teams to onboard and maintain user-to-application connectivity with agility and resilience. And yet, remote access remains a challenge for many organizations

2020 will go down in history as the year the world met with one of its most significant challenges in nearly a century – the great coronavirus pandemic. The resulting situation can be aptly described by the term “VUCA,” an acronym standing for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity. In other words, the world faced a crisis.
