CLOUD STRATEGY

Overcoming Security Challenges 

Cyberthreats are continuously evolving to become more sophisticated and pervasive, meaning companies must find more intelligent and dynamic ways to secure their systems, workloads, and applications. 

Complexity 

 Complexity

Companies may use a variety of security tools from different vendors to put together a security strategy that is complex and hard to manage. 

Inadequate Monitoring 

Inadequate Monitoring

In today’s geographically distributed environments with many endpoints, organizations have difficulty monitoring the system 24/7 all the way to the edge. 

Lack of Expertise 

Lack of Expertise

The IT industry is experiencing a skills gap, especially in cybersecurity, so many businesses have problems setting and enforcing security policies. 

Reactive Approach 

Reactive Approach

                                            When companies take a reactive approach to security, they are always playing catchup, struggling to recover lost and stolen data after an incident. 

Software-defined security (SDSec) overcomes today’s cybersecurity challenges by using software to control network security devices by virtualizing security functions.

ProActive Solutions takes a consultative approach to help companies decide if moving to SDSec is the answer to their security challenges and then helps design, implement, and support a custom solution.
