Cloud adoption has transformed how organizations build, deploy and scale technology. Infrastructure is now elastic, applications are distributed, identities are federated and data moves across environments at unprecedented speed. While this agility unlocks innovation, it also expands the attack surface and introduces new forms of risk. Traditional perimeter-based security models are no longer sufficient.

A well-designed cloud security architecture provides the blueprint to secure enterprise cloud deployments. It defines how controls, policies, technologies and governance models work together to reduce risk while enabling business objectives.
