The advent of emerging technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has drastically disrupted what it takes to remain relevant. Globally, enterprises are seeking strategies that can provide them with a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. \u00a0According to a recent report, the global hybrid cloud market is expected to reach US$262 billion in 2027<\/a>, with the APAC region expected to grow at the highest rate.<\/p>\n

Hybrid cloud strategies have gained popularity as they provide the flexibility, scalability, and redundancy businesses need for improved modern operations. By integrating the benefits of both public and private clouds, businesses can utilise the scalability of public cloud services while keeping sensitive data and applications securely within their private cloud infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Notwithstanding the numerous financial and efficiency benefits of hybrid cloud solutions, a lack of proper data management practices can quickly manifest into significant cybersecurity hurdles. With widespread cloud adoption, organisations are exposed to increased cyber risks and are also introducing complexity into their operations.<\/p>\n

Notably, cloud-related threats are among the top three cyber concerns for 51 per cent of APAC organsations<\/a>. Hence, finding the right balance between leveraging hybrid cloud benefits and maintaining a secure network for cyber resilience is crucial. So how can businesses best pursue their hybrid cloud set up, while ensuring that their network remains secure?<\/p>\n

New multi-cloud cyber challenges raining on businesses<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Managing a multi-cloud ecosystem without effective data practices can hinder an organisation\u2019s ability to implement sound security frameworks.<\/p>\n

Clear data visibility is critical in enabling an organisation\u2019s capacity to integrate frameworks, such as zero trust. In particular, zero trust frameworks operate on the principle that no entity, whether inside or outside the network, should be trusted by default, necessitating continuous monitoring and verification of every request. The ability to identify whether a user is verified or not can become complicated if an organisation does not have adequate oversight of their data.<\/p>\n

Ensuring data is protected whilst it moves between public and private clouds is another significant challenge. The movement of data across different environments can often increase the risk of exposure to malicious actors. Robust encryption and secure communication channels are essential to protect data during transit and storage.<\/p>\n

For many, taking the first step in implementing security solutions across various cloud environments can be daunting, but it is increasingly necessary. Australia, in particular, faces heightened risks<\/a>, with the new statistics from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) showing the number of data breaches notified to the regulator in the first half of 2024 was at its highest in three and a half years.<\/p>\n

Recent data breaches from high-profile organisations across the region proves just how critical strong data coordination is for security purposes. Business leaders must ensure that their security measures are uniformly applied across both public and private clouds to prevent such vulnerabilities and risks.<\/p>\n

Strategies for enhanced security in hybrid cloud environments<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To navigate the cybersecurity challenges posed by hybrid cloud strategies, businesses of any size should look to implement several key measures:<\/p>\n
