Increased Attacks Are Causing Enterprises to Rethink Cloud Security
Hackers are increasingly targeting cloud applications, and unfortunately, businesses are reporting a sharp uptick in cloud- related security breaches. This is causing many businesses to rethink their approach to cloud security, in order to better protect both their customers’ data and their mission-critical applications.
Cloud Presents New Challenges for Secure Egress
Unlike a traditional data center, public clouds are designed to give an application quick and easy access to the Internet anywhere it is deployed. This makes cloud applications notoriously challenging to protect. Adding to this difficulty is the fact that cloud applications can be deployed in hours or even minutes, making it hard for security teams to keep up. Finally, it’s difficult for security teams to implement a new approach to egress security without rearchitecting the network, the application, or both.

The Challenge of Cloud-Native NAT Gateways
Cloud-native solutions like NAT gateways give DevOps teams the speed and agility they need, as they are simple to manage and quick to deploy. This makes them popular for agile applications and non-production workloads.
However, in addition to being expensive, cloud-native NAT solutions do not offer application visibility or threat detection. Without an embedded secure egress solution, cloud applications are able to communicate with malicious endpoints or even steal your data over the Internet, and you would never know it.
The ideal solution for secure egress in cloud needs to provide enterprise-class security and threat detection with a simple-to-deploy, manage, and scale solution that enables agile frameworks. It should also embed security into the entire network by default without disrupting or impacting your existing architecture.
