According to Firewalls and the Cloud<\/em> survey, more than 80% of organisations are concerned about deploying traditional firewalls in the cloud.<\/p>\n Nearly 40% of respondents said they are concerned about inappropriate pricing and licensing for the cloud, while 34% said they are worried about the lack of integration preventing cloud automation.<\/p>\n Despite this, almost all survey respondents see value in cloud-specific firewalls, with 74% of respondents saying integration with cloud management, monitoring and automation capabilities is the most beneficial cloud-specific firewall capability.<\/p>\n The survey also studied how security automation benefits DevOps teams. 56% of organisations surveyed have adopted DevOps, DevSecOps, or CI\/CD development methodologies (continuous integration and continuous deployment).<\/p>\n Of the above, 93% faced challenges integrating security into those practices, while 67% reported existing security solutions was the top challenge.<\/p>\n Tim Jefferson, VP public cloud at Barracuda, commented: \u201cWe\u2019re continuing to see questions and concerns around how organisations should approach security with their cloud deployments, especially from larger companies.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile there are a number of reasons for this, moving to the cloud requires a new way of thinking about security for organisations that are used to operating under traditional data centre architecture.<\/p>\n “Using security tools specifically designed for the public cloud can actually make a business more secure than they were when they operated purely on-premise.\u201d<\/p>\n The Firewalls and the Cloud<\/em> survey was conducted by more than 600 IT security professionals and created by Dimensional Research.<\/p>\n Written from press release by Leah Alger<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" More than 80% of organisations raise concerns over deploying traditional firewalls in the cloud<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":12318,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1158],"tags":[1134,1133,1522,67,914,2603,2659,1042],"yoast_head":"\nAutomation capabilities<\/h2>\n
