\nThe public cloud space has been dominated by AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. However, many enterprises feel that a single public cloud isn\u2019t enough, which has\u00a0increased popularity in hybrid and multi-cloud deployments<\/a>. Sometimes these terms become conflated. Hybrid clouds are often defined as a combination of on-premises, private, and public cloud services. Security must be updated to correspond with the change in cloud environments.<\/p>\n

Coinciding with the growth of public cloud has been the advocation for DevOps as an IT work culture. DevOps and its corresponding tools tend to be lacking in security. Successfully adopting a hybrid cloud requires IT to reevaluate security practices, as\u00a0hybrid cloud is generally a more secure approach than public cloud.<\/a><\/p>\n

Beginning a hybrid cloud journey comes with many challenges. At least for teams looking to implement it themselves. Many managed service providers make it easier for enterprises to accomplish hybrid cloud goals. We assembled days of research into the top managed service providers to provide an easy to use buyer’s guide. You can access our buyer’s guide below for free!<\/p>\n

Threat Surfaces<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The cloud brought a different perspective on threat surfaces, as the ability to easily introduce new development pipelines is one of the greatest benefits of a cloud infrastructure. These surfaces are constantly growing and changing with faster releases. Thus, a traditional perimeter security approach would be adequate most of the time. However, this is not the case for a more diverse hybrid cloud environment.<\/p>\n

The perimeter isn\u2019t the same when you implement a hybrid cloud. Workloads and data are no longer limited to a single cloud. \u00a0Your development teams might have a workload in the private cloud, in your on-premises infrastructure, and maybe even in a public cloud. The attack surface is far less predictable in this environment, so security threats don\u2019t have the same opportunities to exploit your systems.<\/p>\n

Hybrid Cloud Security Methods<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The variety of ways to implement hybrid cloud makes it a difficult process to implement. Not every company is going to have the same infrastructure. Thus, there\u2019s no universal security solution. Enterprises need to figure out what specific solutions work for their infrastructure. Managed service providers can eliminate this headache with in-depth reviews of your systems and a detailed gameplan.<\/p>\n

Security needs to be a part of the entire IT culture, it cannot be something tacked on at some point in the development lifecycle. Many IT teams have too much trust in their cloud or in online libraries like GitHub<\/a>. These resources are incredibly valuable, but proper security tools must be in place to prevent user error. Most security breaches come from blatant user error.<\/p>\n

Organizing the hybrid cloud is essential to maintaining long-term success. Some environments are better for different sets of data storage. Thus, the improved security of on-premises infrastructure is an attractive option for many enterprises. Keep your sensitive workloads here to decrease risk.<\/p>\n

Hybrid Management<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Managing a hybrid cloud is obviously much different than a single public cloud platform. There are many solutions to make this easier, but much of what it comes down to is monitoring and visibility. Managed service providers and hybrid cloud management platforms work to simplify the hybrid environment.<\/p>\n

Most of the managed service providers in our guide have proficiencies in areas like migration. Migration can be an overwhelming component when moving to a\u00a0hybrid cloud. Sometimes your workloads may be less safe in its new environment, but MSPs eliminate this challenge with cloud certified engineers who make sure your environment is safe. Additionally, some MSPs come from an IT security background. If this is your priority be sure to check out our buyer\u2019s guide below to understand the strengths and weaknesses of top vendors.<\/p>\n
