DATA SECURITY & COMPLIANCE IN A HYBRID CLOUD SETUP: ENSURING CONSISTENCY

What are the potential challenges or risks associated with managing a hybrid cloud environment? How can they be mitigated?

Many companies still stick to traditional technology procurement models with upfront capital expenditures, despite the need for agility in today's fast-changing market landscape. Some businesses avoid cloud adoption due to prior investments, security concerns, or lack of cloud expertise. But there's a way to get that flexibility and speed they need: enter hybrid cloud solutions.

Organizations today are dealing with scattered data silos that not only holds back innovation but also ramps up IT costs, raises the risk of cyber attacks, and could even mean losing valuable data. IT leaders are looking for an immediate plan to fend off ransomware and malware.

Then there's the issue of inconsistent data protection policies. It's like having one set of rules for on-premises data and a completely different set for stuff in the cloud. That lack of uniformity is a major risk factor for data security. What IT leaders really need is a way to manage everything across this hybrid cloud seamlessly.

So, the trick to ensuring data availability in these hybrid cloud setups boils down to having agile and robust data protection. And, of course, keeping an eye on priorities like cost efficiency, simplicity, performance, scalability, and future readiness.

Can you discuss the role of data security and compliance in a hybrid cloud setup? How can organizations ensure consistent security across on-premises and cloud resources?

Instead of rigid legacy systems, organizations today are looking for something “more modern, more flexible, and more dynamic”. A hybrid cloud approach allows the best of both worlds – flexibility, and security.
