Ultimately, the success of multi-cloud is a
product of organisations’ desire to host each
workload on the most appropriate platform
– putting round pegs in round holes. But
a balanced view of multi-cloud should
acknowledge the risks it can pose.
Multi-cloud management is complex and
cyberthreats are becoming increasingly
sophisticated. The majority of data breaches
result from end-user error, and introducing
multiple clouds to your infrastructure estate
increases the threat vectors through which
cybercriminals can target your organisation.

the potential to bring significant benefits
but should always be taken in a manner that
maintains compliance, manages governance
and protects brand value from cyberthreats.
