Nowadays, the average enterprise runs hundreds of cloud applications spanning from software-as-a-service platforms, infrastructure hosted in public cloud accounts, to internally built applications deployed on cloud infrastructure.

In an increasingly interconnected world, digital security is no longer just a technical issue handled behind closed doors.
