THE DATA CENTRE IS THE HEART OF MULTI-CLOUD AND REQUIRES A NEW SECURITY MINDSET TO GAIN RESILIENCE
The protection of Brazil ’ s digital economy is being led by the next generation of data centre security solutions . As the data explosion takes shape , these solutions support the heterogeneous environments that exist today . André Kupfer , LATAM Sales Engineering Leader , Hillstone , says the Cloud Workload Protection Program ( CWPP ) is a fundamental achievement for Brazil , and will encourage and secure further growth in 2024 .
he Brazilian digital
T economy increasingly runs in the multi-cloud environment . This increases the challenge of managing and securing the data centre , the physical foundation of the cloud . An IDC study released in February 2024 indicates that cloud consumption in Brazil will generate revenues in the amount of US $ 1.5 billion in 2024 .
The cloud is not an abstract entity : private and public data centres of all sizes and infinite segments , technologies and applications are responsible for delivering the services that companies and people need .
As much as they have different profiles , data centres are equal in the search for maximum resilience .
A 2022 Uptime Institute study shows that among 1,000 global data centre managers surveyed , 25 % said they had suffered losses of more than US $ 1 million from downtime in 2021 . The focus of cybercriminals is to identify a vulnerability of a particular device or application and , from there , move laterally , or East – West , until it gains dominance over other segments of the data centre and triggers ransomware actions with immense destructive power .
Above all , what affects the data centre affects the multi-cloud world and the digital processes that support people ' s lives .
In this hyper-distributed and complex universe , there is no more room for security solutions focused on perimeter protection . Those who still follow this model have no visibility into the threats focused on the complex and microsegmented virtual world that makes up the modern data centre .
