Infrastructure and Platform as a Service

The adoption of cloud computing has been one of the major and most influential shifts in our industry in the past decade, and shows no sign of abating. The power and ubiquity of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings have transformed the way that much of our software is built, deployed, and accessed. However, we don’t believe that these platforms have yet had a similarly broad and significant impact on security. While these platforms do have sophisticated and powerful access control models, they’re largely designed to protect services based within their cloud environments, and not serve as broad enterprise security solutions for all users across multiple heterogeneous environments.
