The transition to the SDCC gives IT managers and security professionals the opportunity to build in a security architecture that is designed from the ground up to meet the needs of the cloud era. With the right architectural model, security can be much simpler to deploy, provision, manage, and scale. Organizations can save money, enhance protection, and leverage the agility of private and hybrid cloud infrastructures. IT teams can expand their visibility from the data centre into the cloud, uncovering threats wherever they appear and coordinating an appropriate and comprehensive response. One of the keys to success is to ensure that the security architecture is included in the planning process for the SDDC from the beginning and at every stage of the journey.
