Five Security Blind Spots Created By Digital Transformation

We're entering what some are calling the Fourth Industrial Revolution, as digital transformation dissolves traditional security perimeters and drives everything into the cloud.

Data is being created at an explosive rate, the vast majority of it on mobile or directly in the cloud. Workforces are becoming increasingly remote, meaning they're moving far away from the traditional perimeters of the enterprise data center. Digital transformation, which is driving cloud and mobile adoption, is creating a tremendous shift in risk posture, exposing new security blindspots for every organization as a result.

Even worse, the attack surface is growing at a rapid pace, where legacy security controls sitting on your perimeter can't protect or see. Combined with a whole new set of cloud-specific threats, this spells trouble for every security program.  

However, security teams can prepare now for a rapidly approaching cloud-enabled future.
