Enterprise Technology & Cloud Services / Enterprise security

Enterprises often encounter challenges such as cloud sprawl and security risks. Cloud sprawl refers to the uncontrolled proliferation of cloud services, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs. Security risks arise from inadequate management of access controls and data protection, which can expose organizations to cyber threats.

To regain control, enterprises should develop a comprehensive cloud strategy that includes a clear migration plan, strong governance frameworks, and robust security measures. Implementing automation for network management, ensuring proper network segmentation, and leveraging AI for operational efficiency are also crucial. Additionally, understanding the shared responsibility model with cloud service providers is essential for maintaining security.

Zero Trust security is a cybersecurity framework that requires continuous verification of every user and device attempting to access resources, regardless of their location or network. Unlike traditional security models that trust users inside the network perimeter, Zero Trust operates on the principle of 'never trust, always verify,' enforcing strict identity verification, risk assessment, and least-privileged access on a per-session basis. It decouples security from the network itself, focusing on securing access to IT resources based on context and risk rather than network location.

Integrated platforms such as Microsoft Entra ID help enterprises streamline and unify identity and access management, which is a core pillar of Zero Trust security. These platforms enable continuous identity verification, risk-based conditional access, and real-time policy enforcement, thereby reducing the attack surface and improving resilience against evolving cyber threats. By consolidating security tools and automating access controls, organizations can proactively manage security risks while supporting digital transformation initiatives.

AWS Security Hub is a centralized security service that aggregates and correlates security alerts and compliance status across AWS accounts. The enhanced version introduced at re:Inforce 2025 provides improved risk prioritization, contextual analytics, and visualization features. It integrates data from multiple AWS security services like Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon Inspector, and Amazon Macie to give a unified view of security posture, helping users quickly identify and respond to critical threats and vulnerabilities in their cloud environment.

The new visibility features in AWS Security Hub provide enhanced exposure findings, security-focused asset inventory, attack path visualization, and automated response workflows. These capabilities allow organizations to see potential vulnerabilities and attack paths clearly, prioritize risks based on context, and automate remediation actions at scale. This reduces manual effort, improves team productivity, and helps prevent operational disruptions by enabling faster and more informed security decisions.

The Pure Enterprise Data Cloud (EDC) is a unified data management platform that integrates Pure Storage's existing technologies—Purity storage OS, Fusion, Pure1, and Evergreen—into a single cloud-like storage management environment. It provides enhanced visibility, policy-driven management, and orchestration of storage, server, networking, and application configurations across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. This unified approach simplifies management, reduces silos, and supports as-a-service consumption models, enabling businesses to better control and automate their data storage operations.

Pure Fusion acts as a storage-as-code control plane within the Enterprise Data Cloud, enabling centralized management of all storage arrays as endpoints in a unified data mesh. It automates complex deployment configurations through intelligent presets that handle quality-of-service, protection levels, and performance requirements. Fusion streamlines storage fleet management from a single interface and supports automated workflows that integrate storage with computing, networking, and applications, facilitating complex tasks such as multi-site database replication and cloud integration.
