Cloud security has become one of the defining challenges for enterprise security teams. As organisations scale across multiple cloud providers, deploy AI-driven workloads, and operate with increasingly distributed teams, the attack surface continues to expand. The issue is no longer just visibility, it is maintaining consistent control across fragmented environments. Siloed tools, misaligned policies, and alert fatigue are creating gaps that attackers actively exploit. To address this, enterprises are moving toward cloud security platforms that...
