The research found that organizations are prioritizing security, seamless integration, and compliance in hybrid cloud environments with Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, AWS and Microsoft Azure among the leaders The 2024 State of Network Security Report Reveals a Shift Towards Multi-Cloud Environments, with a 47% Increase in SD-WAN and 25% Uptick in SASE Adoption The research found that organizations are prioritizing security, seamless integration, and compliance in hybrid cloud environments with Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, AWS and Microsoft Azure among the leaders June 27, 2024 Speak to one of our experts RIDGEFIELD PARK, NJ, June 27, 2024 – Global cybersecurity leader AlgoSec has released its annual ‘The State of Network Security Report’ providing a broad view of network security in hybrid cloud environments, identifying the most popular strategies adopted by security professionals. The report sheds light on key market trends and highlights the solutions and technologies that are in demand and why, helping organizations to navigate the complexities of modern network security. Based on two comparative surveys conducted in H2 of 2022 and 2023, AlgoSec’s research evaluated market leaders including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Check Point, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco and more, identifying significant shifts in cloud platform adoption, deployment of firewalls and Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), as well as Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) implementation. Key findings from the report include: ● Security, continuity, and compliance driving cloud platform selection – When selecting a cloud platform, organizations prioritize seamless integration, compliance, and robust security features. While the overall adoption of cloud platforms has grown, the ranking of different vendors has remained relatively stable. Azure continues to be the most widely used platform, closely followed by AWS, which has shown the fastest pace of growth. ● The growing adoption of SD-WAN – The move towards remote working and cloud computing has been the catalyst for the increased deployment of SD-WAN, ensuring secure and reliable connections across multiple locations. That is reflected in the report, with a steep decline in the number of organizations that had no SD-WAN solution from 55.2% in 2022 to 34% in 2023. ● The rise in SASE adoption – With network infrastructures becoming more complex, SASE has become a popular solution for organizations, consolidating multiple security functions into a single, unified, cloud service. The report found the rate of SASE adoption has increased year-on-year, with notable growth of Zscaler implementation from 21.9% in 2022 to 37% in 2023, and Prisma access implementation from 16.2% in 2022 to 22.8% in 2023. ● The increasing importance of firewalls in cloud estates – With more businesses looking to secure corporate resources across complex cloud networks, firewall implementation has increased as a result, providing organizations with the means to safeguard against external threats. The rate of adoption has risen significantly, with only 7.1% of respondents saying they had no firewalls deployed in 2023 - a sharp drop from the 28.4% recorded in 2022. ● The persistence of hybrid networks – Despite the general shift towards cloud adoption, on-premise data centers and device rollouts remain a significant feature of the network landscape. “According to our research there has been greater adoption of cloud-based network security solutions across the board”, said Eran Shiff, VP Product of AlgoSec. “However, there is still progress to be made in the SD-WAN and SASE space.

Learn the key features of secure cloud technologies, from access control and encryption to visibility, governance, and hybrid cloud policy management. What are the key features of secure cloud technologies? What are secure cloud technologies, and which features matter most? A platform owner is asked to approve a new cloud access path. The request looks simple: let a workload in one virtual network reach a database in another. But the useful questions are not simple. Which identity will use the path? Which security group or network security group allows it? Which application owner approved the dependency? What evidence will the team keep for an audit six months from now? Secure cloud technologies are the controls, tools, policies, and workflows that help protect cloud applications, data, identities, workloads, and network access. Key features include identity and access control, encryption and key management, cloud network security, configuration visibility, workload protection, monitoring, governed change, and compliance-ready evidence. These features are strongest when they connect technical controls to ownership, risk, application dependencies, and review history. Schedule a Demo Why secure cloud technology is more than a tool list Many teams already have a long list of cloud security services. They may use identity tools, encryption settings, vulnerability scanners, posture alerts, workload protection, and logging. In practice, the hard part is often deciding what those signals mean when someone needs to approve access, narrow a rule, investigate drift, or explain a decision to an auditor. Shared responsibility is the starting point. Cloud providers manage parts of the underlying service, while customers still manage data, identities, configurations, applications, access rules, and policy decisions. The boundary changes by service model, so teams need to understand which controls they own and which evidence they must preserve. That is why a feature list is not enough. A cloud security posture management alert, an encryption setting, and a security group rule only become useful when someone can decide what to do next. If the team cannot see the owner, business need, application dependency, or change history, reviews slow down and audit preparation becomes harder. Schedule a Demo The core features secure cloud technologies should provide Secure cloud technologies should help teams prevent unnecessary exposure, detect issues early, and govern changes with clear evidence. The table below gives a practical way to evaluate the main feature areas without turning the topic into a glossary of tools. Feature area What it should help teams do What to verify in practice Identity and access control Limit who and what can reach cloud resources Least privilege, multifactor authentication, service accounts, entitlement review, accountable owners Data protection and key management Protect sensitive data in storage, transit, and processing Encryption scope, key ownership, rotation, secrets handling, key-use logging Cloud network and segmentation controls Reduce unnecessary exposure between users, workloads, applications, and the internet Security groups, network security groups, cloud firewalls, virtual network rules, inbound and outbound paths Configuration and posture visibility Find misconfigurations, drift, and exposed resources before review cycles become painful CSPM coverage, risk prioritization, exception handling, remediation workflow Workload and application protection Protect VMs, containers, serverless functions, APIs, and application services Vulnerability context, runtime signals, build-to-runtime handoff, API checks Monitoring, detection, and response Give teams enough signal to investigate, respond, and recover Cloud logs, flow data, alert quality, SIEM/SOAR integration, retention policy Governance and compliance evidence Make access decisions repeatable and easier to defend during review Change tickets, approvals, policy history, rule ownership, audit-ready reports Application connectivity context Show which business services depend on cloud and network access Application owners, dependencies, traffic flows, change impact, rollback considerations The value is not simply owning more controls. The value is whether those controls help people make better decisions. For example, an identity alert is more useful when it shows which application uses the identity, who owns it, and whether the access is still justified. A posture finding is more useful when it can move into a reviewed change rather than becoming another disconnected ticket. Schedule a Demo How these features work across hybrid and multi-cloud environments In hybrid cloud security management , each environment often explains only part of the access path. A cloud team may see AWS security groups, Azure network security groups, or Google Cloud firewall rules. A network team may see data center firewalls or segmentation policies. An application owner may know the connection supports a payment service, but not which rule or object allows it. Secure cloud technologies work better when they connect these views. In practice, cloud and network security policies can be reviewed with application dependencies, owners, traffic flows, and change tickets in view. That context matters because the same access path may cross cloud-native controls, firewalls, routing boundaries, and application tiers before it reaches the resource. This is also where application connectivity management becomes important. Teams need to understand which business service depends on a connection before they narrow access. A rule that looks quiet in a short traffic sample may support a monthly batch job, a failover path, or a migration that has not been retired yet. The same context supports firewall policy cleanup and cloud rule cleanup. Stale access, broad objects, and unused paths should be reviewed with ownership, usage, dependencies, and exceptions in view. That helps teams reduce unnecessary exposure while avoiding avoidable disruption to business services. Schedule a Demo What buyers should verify before trusting a cloud security feature During evaluation, look beyond the feature label. A dashboard may say it provides visibility, but reviewers need to know whether visibility reaches the rule, object, identity, application, owner, risk, and change record behind the issue. A recommendation may sound sensible, but it should be traceable to the evidence that shaped it. A strong feature should fit the way security teams actually work. Can it route a proposed access change into security policy change management with approvals and an audit trail? Can it separate a cleanup candidate from a change that is ready to implement? Can it preserve the reason an exception was approved, and can the team recertify that exception later with application-owner input? Cost and efficiency matter, too. A tool that creates more tickets than the team can review may add noise. A useful capability reduces manual investigation by grouping related issues, showing why one permissive rule matters more than another, and preserving evidence for the next review cycle. That supports better use of security resources without weakening governance. For compliance and risk leaders, the question is whether the technology makes decisions easier to defend. The team should be able to show who requested access, who approved it, why it was needed, what risk was considered, and whether the access remains justified. That evidence is often as important as the control itself. Schedule a Demo How AlgoSec Horizon fits into secure cloud technology decisions AlgoSec Horizon helps security, network, cloud, and compliance teams connect security policies to the applications and connectivity flows they support. For secure cloud technology decisions, that platform view is valuable because cloud controls rarely live alone. A security group change may depend on a data center firewall rule. A cleanup decision may depend on application ownership. An audit request may depend on change approvals and exception history. AlgoSec Horizon supports this work by connecting application context, security policy visibility, risk analysis, governed change processes, and compliance-ready evidence across hybrid environments. Instead of treating cloud access as a separate set of rules, teams can review access with the business service, owner, risk, and evidence in view. That supports better risk decisions, reduced manual investigation, and stronger audit readiness while keeping people and governance in the process. Schedule a Demo Frequently asked questions What are secure cloud technologies? Secure cloud technologies are the controls, tools, policies, and workflows that protect cloud data, applications, identities, workloads, and access. Examples include IAM, encryption, cloud firewalls, posture monitoring, workload protection, logging, governed change, and audit evidence. How does shared responsibility affect cloud security? Shared responsibility means the cloud provider and customer own different security tasks. The provider typically manages parts of the underlying service, while the customer still manages data, identity, configuration, application access, and policy decisions. The exact split depends on the service model. How are secure cloud technologies different in hybrid environments? Hybrid environments require cloud controls and data center controls to be reviewed together. Security groups, firewalls, segmentation rules, application dependencies, and change tickets may each explain a different part of the same access path. What should enterprises look for in a cloud security platform? Look for evidence, context, risk prioritization, application connectivity, governed change, reporting, and support for hybrid or multi-cloud operations. The platform should help reviewers understand what a finding affects and what evidence supports the decision.

Vitae donec tincidunt elementum quam laoreet duis sit enim. Duis mattis velit sit leo diam. Tags Share this article 3/18/24 Published Application outages caused by human error can be a nightmare for businesses, leading to financial losses, customer dissatisfaction, and reputational damage. While human error is inevitable, organizations can implement effective strategies to minimize its impact and resolve outages promptly. In this blog post, we will explore proven solutions for addressing human error in application outages, empowering businesses to enhance their operational resilience and deliver uninterrupted services to their customers. Organizations must emphasize training and education One of the most crucial steps in resolving human error in application outages is investing in comprehensive training and education for IT staff. By ensuring that employees have the necessary skills, knowledge, and understanding of the application environment, organizations can reduce the likelihood of errors occurring. Training should cover proper configuration management, system monitoring, troubleshooting techniques, and incident response protocols. Additionally, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement is essential. Encourage employees to stay up to date with the latest technologies, best practices, and industry trends through workshops, conferences, and online courses. Regular knowledge sharing sessions and cross-team collaborations can also help mitigate human errors by fostering a culture of accountability and knowledge transfer. It’s time to implement robust change management processes Implementing rigorous change management processes is vital for preventing human errors that lead to application outages. Establishing a standardized change management framework ensures that all modifications to the application environment go through a well-defined process, reducing the risk of inadvertent errors. The change management process should include proper documentation of proposed changes, a thorough impact analysis, and rigorous testing in non-production environments before deploying changes to the production environment. Additionally, maintaining a change log and conducting post-implementation reviews can provide valuable insights for identifying and rectifying any potential errors. Why automate and orchestrate operational tasks Human errors often occur due to repetitive, mundane tasks that are prone to oversight or mistakes. Automating and orchestrating operational tasks can significantly reduce human error in application outages. Organizations should leverage automation tools to streamline routine tasks such as provisioning, configuration management, and deployment processes. By removing the manual element, the risk of human error decreases, and the consistency and accuracy of these tasks improve. Furthermore, implementing orchestration tools allows for the coordination and synchronization of complex workflows involving multiple teams and systems. This reduces the likelihood of miscommunication and enhances collaboration, minimizing errors caused by lack of coordination. Establish effective monitoring and alerting mechanisms Proactive monitoring and timely alerts are crucial for identifying potential issues and resolving them before they escalate into outages. Implementing robust monitoring systems that capture key performance indicators, system metrics, and application logs enables IT teams to quickly identify anomalies and take corrective action. Additionally, setting up alerts and notifications for critical events ensures that the appropriate personnel are notified promptly, allowing for rapid response and resolution. Leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities can enhance monitoring by detecting patterns and anomalies that human operators might miss. Human errors will always be a factor in application outages, but by implementing effective strategies, organizations can minimize their impact and resolve incidents promptly. Investing in comprehensive training, robust change management processes, automation and orchestration, and proactive monitoring can significantly reduce the likelihood of human error-related outages. By prioritizing these solutions and fostering a culture of continuous improvement, businesses can enhance their operational resilience, protect their reputation, and deliver uninterrupted services to their customers.

success stories "Today, we are many times more efficient and secure thanks to AlgoSec." Background The company’s globally distributed network includes more than ten demilitarized zones (DMZs) with 20 billion events processed per month across the multiple company locations. Firewalls play a vital role in protecting intellectual property at the perimeter level. Every firewall event is logged and processed. Challenges The company’s operations require a very large and diverse network with a large Global Network Security operations team that is spread across the US, EMEA and Asia. The team is responsible for the management of all perimeter and internal security solutions, remote access solutions, customer connectivity solutions and the Security Operations Center (SOC). “We suffered from a lot of network security issues that prevented us from running at the speed of the business,” declared the Senior Manager of Global Security and SOC. Auditing Firewall rules was a long, tedious and painful process Access revocation was performed using a manual reminders process The diverse army of firewalls across the network estate resulted in a non-standard way of making and executing Firewall change requests, requiring many steps to complete the process An out-of-the-box ServiceNow workflow with limited functionality couldn’t keep up Limited reporting capabilities relied on manual data processing There was no way to track performance of SLAs The cumbersome approval process required managers to login to the company ticketing portal Notification of unauthorized or unapproved changes on firewalls was clumsy and slow The company decided to acquire an orchestration and automation solution that could identify and mitigate risky firewall rules. Since the company is subject to many industry and legal regulations, the solution would have to automate compliance reporting as well as ensure accountability for all firewall changes. The solution also would have to integrate into existing ticketing processes and workflows while enabling the company, at its own pace, to advance to more and more automation. Solution The company evaluated several solutions by reviewing their features carefully and putting the best among them to the test in parallel proof of concept projects. The senior manager recalls, “We had a very close look at the leading solutions in the Network Security Policy Management space. One of them definitely stood out from the pack as the superior solution.” The company chose AlgoSec Horizon Security Analyzer (AFA) and AlgoSec Horizon FireFlow (AFF), two of the flagship products in the AlgoSec arsenal. AlgoSec Horizon Security Analyzer ensures security and compliance by providing visibility and analysis into complex network security policies. AlgoSec Horizon FireFlow improves security and saves security staffs’ time by automating the entire security policy change process, eliminating manual errors, and reducing risk. Results In short order, the company was able to capitalize on the significant advantages of the AlgoSec solution. “It was easy to customize the AlgoSec solution to fit into our environment and enhance it,” continued the senior manager. “But it didn’t take long before we were using the power of the two products to help us adopt better practices for lower risk, higher security, and better efficiency of our team.” Today, the AlgoSec solution is delivering significant improvements to the company’s security processes such as: Visibility across the entire network with an easy-to-use-and-understand executive dashboard Integration with the ticketing tool Proactive analysis of change requests to ensure compliance risk mitigation Prevention of unauthorized changes Elimination of human errors and associated application outages Automatic discovery and mapping of application-connectivity flows Single Sign On (SSO) integration that eliminated static user passwords Support for mobile firewall change-request manager approval “We are a big company with an enormous volume of network-security activity,” stated the manager. “In addition to the superior capabilities of the solution, we greatly appreciated the excellent customization opportunities that AlgoSec’s Professional Services were able to help us with. Today, we are many times more efficient and secure thanks to AlgoSec.” Schedule time with one of our experts
