Some of the top challenges IT is facing as the data center landscape evolves include:
The changing nature of applications, infrastructure, and security attacks.
Application infrastructure is no longer confined to on-premises data centers but is now highly dynamic, and spread out between public and private multi-cloud environments. That makes security more complex, especially as threats become more sophisticated.
The high cost of security breaches.
Organizations of all sizes remain vulnerable to persistent, sophisticated threats—and the price of breaches just keeps rising. The annual cost of global cyber espionage is estimated to be around $500 billion.*
Increasingly strict requirements for regulatory compliance.
From industry-specific requirements like PCI, FISMA, ECPA, and HIPAA, to differences in regulations from the cloud to on-premises, it’s not easy to get or stay in compliance.
To protect applications, data, and users, organizations need to totally transform the way they view and enforce security.
