Recently, at a Netskope security forum, we had the opportunity to launch into conversations with leading CISOs about trends in enterprise security. During the discussion, a Chief Information Security Officer from a global organization gave his perspective on why it’s critical to maintain continuous compliance in AWS and cloud infrastructure environments and the common misconceptions that exist.
“We were using a lot of cloud-based platforms and every one of them had a different security framework with different capabilities. The overhead associated with managing them all was becoming unbearable and we needed one unified security control point. That’s when we brought in Netskope. Today we use Netskope to safely enable Box, Salesforce and Microsoft Office 365. As we grow, in order to enable and accelerate our adoption of AWS and Microsoft Azure, we can rely on Netskope to give us visibility, compliance enforcement, and protection of our workloads within these environments.” – CISO, Global Financial Services Organization
