Aligning development , network and security teams
The move to DevOps and agile methodologies have created friction between development teams looking to accelerate the pace of innovation and security teams . This is responsible for protecting the company against outside attacks and ensuring compliance with policies .
This friction can only be resolved by embracing automation . Companies need to integrate automation into tools to enable seamless interaction between network and security operations and DevOps and Dev teams .
The nature of the distributed cloud means that the tools organisations use to manage and secure this environment need to be delivered in a manner that meets their specific needs .
All application delivery and application security functions need to operate across all environments consistently . This gives organisations the consistency they need , end-to-end visibility to all applications across their distributed cloud environment and more traditionally architected applications .
Supporting a continually evolving world
Because of the specific requirements of modern organisations , any platform that needs to support the modern application environment needs to accommodate a multitude of deployment environments .
Effective application management , application security and consistent global security policies are essential components of a modern technology strategy .
