Testing the network
Regular network tests can help find
misconfigurations or software flaws
that open up a potential vulnerability
hackers could exploit. Network
penetration tests enable the discovery
of potential infrastructure security
weaknesses. It might also be worth
testing security incident identification
and response capabilities, in addition
to employee security awareness and
security policy compliance.
With hybrid cloud adoption
continuing to rise, IT teams are
well advised to regularly evaluate
network availability, performance
and security of the hybrid cloud
environment. This is the best way for
them to maintain control of their onpremise infrastructure while enjoying
the benefits of the flexibility and
efficiencies provided by cloud services.
As the hybrid model evolves,
organisations are beginning to
understand that ‘the cloud’ is not
just a thing. It is a multi-dimensional
technology that if used well, can help
drive innovation and competitiveness. It
just needs to be understood, managed
and monitored properly in a way that
will foster these environments.
UK organisations are
starting to take note with
80 per cent adopting at
least one cloud service.
