Choosing from the array of tools is not easy, and some buy too many, often incompatible, offerings. Others simply pick a solution from the Gartner Magic Quadrant and spend six months trying to fine-tune it before realizing it's the wrong thing for their circumstances.
For Clark, it is about planning properly to pinpoint, implement and optimize appropriate solutions. No solution will stop everything or fit all, and cloud security cannot be a "tick-box" exercise if productivity is to be maintained and costs controlled.
"You need to be agnostically weighing up risk and aligning security need against operational need. It's pointless having security overtake operations, not making money - but if you focus on operations too much, you expose yourself."
What's needed is to clean all that up, reworking and layering security according to best practice, and adding essential mitigations, like backup. Getting transparency of the data environment can also prove cruci.
