IDC PlanScape: Cloud-Native Security Risk Management

This IDC study offers guidance by unpacking the meaning and implications of cloud-native security, explaining how cloud-native security techniques differ from conventional approaches to cybersecurity, and describing best practices for securing cloud-native workloads and environments."Although the exact meaning of cloud-native security can be tough to pin down due to ambiguity of the cloud-native concept, it's clear that the shift toward cloud-native architectures and technologies raises new security challenges that require novel solutions," says Chris Tozzi, adjunct research advisor for IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP).
