As workloads migrate to the cloud, trying to secure them with perimeter-based tools creates challenges. Legacy approaches and point solutions aren’t designed to help build or run secure cloud workloads and applications. Instead, they expand the attack surface, expose data, and hinder compliance. The sprawl of disjointed tools to secure cloud native environments create security blindspots and silos for logs and data, reducing the pace of innovation for DevOps.

"Organizations have manually stitched together DevSecOps with 10 or more disparate security tools — some new and some old — each with siloed responsibilities and a limited view of application risk."
