Advancing the Cloud: How Distributed Computing Meets Modern User Demands

In a recent study, we found that two-thirds of IT decision-makers plan to increase their distributed cloud computing adoption in the next 12 months, with more than one-third saying the benefits are mission critical to their IT strategy.

Security and reliability are cited by 33% of respondents as key drivers for this increased adoption. Of those who see increased security as a benefit of switching to distributed cloud:

71% say it provides better visibility into security issues locally.
66% say it provides granular control over data and access.
58% say it provides redundancy and failover across locations.

Hear further from Jay Jenkins, Akamai Cloud Computing CTO who shares more on the shift to distributed cloud strategy, its benefits and advantages to organizations looking to scale at low cost.

Distributed Cloud- From Running Anywhere to Running Everywhere

Kubernetes (K8s) remains one of the most widely adopted technologies for deploying and managing applications in cloud-native data centers, offering a kind of speed and flexibility that was never before possible.

However, K8s has one major drawback – security. As the K8s cluster network is inherently flat, it allows communication between clusters and pods by default. Just like in traditional networks, upon initial breach, an attacker can move laterally and gain access to all connected data centers and execute the attack.

Microsegmentation is foundational when it comes to best practices to secure K8s clusters, including Microsoft AKS and Openshift. The solution seamlessly protects other workloads in your environment, from legacy systems, to virtualized and cloud instances.

 In this webinar, learn how you can visualize and secure your containerized applications with Akamai Guardicore Segmentation.
