The move to support remote and hybrid workforces has accelerated cloud adoption — but security hasn’t always been a key factor when operating in the cloud. Existing point products usually work in isolation and don’t always apply to the cloud. As a result, management becomes labor intensive, which means gaps are left in your security posture and users are given a poor experience.

This Gartner report analyzes the importance of how an integrated cloud security platform approach can help you:

• Gain operational efficiencies and security efficacy, which will reduce gaps and vulnerabilities, and save you time and money
• Deliver consistent web, private access and SaaS application security
• Protect your sensitive data and detect threats with efficiency both inside and outside your organization
• Improve user experience for your hybrid or remote workforce as well as partners and vendors
