The SecOps Guide to Multi-Cloud Environments

As more organizations move their infrastructure and IT services to the cloud, it is common to adopt services from more than one cloud platform provider, such as Microsoft Azure, Google Chronicle and Amazon AWS. This provides much more flexibility than working with only one cloud platform, allows organizations to better manage costs and avoid vendor lock in, and improves resiliency. Research shows that over 90% of large organizations already use a multi-cloud model, meaning they rely on apps and infrastructure from multiple cloud providers.

However, this opens up new attack surfaces and cyber risks requiring security operations teams to adapt their practices to those required for detecting and responding to security threats in their cloud environments.

This report aims to guide security teams in how to best apply threat detection and response to multi-cloud environments.
