The connectivity cloud
A way to take back IT and security control

Organizations are losing IT and security control

Once upon a time, IT and security teams focused mostly on managing their organization’s on-prem environment. But as business requirements changed, customer bases became global, and remote work took root, these technology teams were handed responsibility across more domains: cloud deployments, SaaS applications, and the public Internet.

Individually, each domain has more than its fair share of complex management and security considerations. But the loss of control is the result of several factors in combination:

Each of these domains has a different core purpose, operating model, and security model. They are in effect super-silos which contain their own silos within them.
Environments outside the firewall are inherently less visible to IT and security teams, as the infrastructure, access control points, and users are controlled by outside vendors, or in the case of the public Internet, not really controlled at all.
“Any to any, always and everywhere” connectivity expectations produce combinations of hardware, software, services, protocols, standards, conventions, and regulatory requirements that are in practice infinite.
