Join us to explore the critical findings from "The State of Cloud Network Security: 2025," an industry report examining the evolving landscape of cloud security challenges and opportunities facing organizations today.
Despite high confidence in existing cloud security controls, organizations continue to struggle with significant gaps in their security postures, particularly in the foundational network layer where workloads communicate and threats propagate.
Security veteran Tom Pageler and Aviatrix will discuss how security and networking have emerged as the primary obstacles to maximizing cloud investments, with 68% and 59% of respondents citing these as their top challenges respectively.
Key topics will include:
- The implementation challenges of widely adopted cloud firewalls and their integration complexities
- The gap between zero trust aspirations and actual implementation (with only 8% adoption for inter-region and inter-cloud traffic)
- Persistent blind spots in cloud network security that create vulnerabilities
- The lack of transparency in legacy cloud firewall costs, with 63% of organizations reporting unexpected expenses
- The shortage of skilled security personnel (affecting 69% of organizations) and its impact on cloud security management
- The state of DevOps security and east-west traffic controls
- The promising adoption of AI in security operations
Learn how your organization can develop a unified approach across hybrid and multicloud environments to reduce complexity, strengthen security postures, and achieve better return on cloud investments while navigating the evolving threat landscape.
