The digital world has seen an evolution – migrating to the cloud and going mobile – but the security technologies designed to protect the data continue to operate as though there are defined digital boundaries to the business world. So says Michael Brink, CTO, CA Southern Africa. “The reality is you can’t contain data today – it’s literally everywhere.”

While the cloud may be more convenient, always-on connectivity requires new considerations and one of the biggest challenges of cloud security is that the perimeter hasn’t simply shifted, it’s no longer clearly defined. And without clear perimeters, organisations are facing new risks of data theft and loss. As-a- Service platforms and hybrid work also increases an organisation’s risk and exposure.
