However, security operations teams are quickly learning that in a multi-cloud environment, they need tools that provides this information across all three major cloud providers in a seamless and centralized way, with normalized data streams.

When Preparing for GDPR, Don’t Neglect Public Cloud Security
With organizations aggressively moving workloads to public cloud platforms, such as Amazon’s AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft’s Azure, protecting these environments is critical for compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
These public cloud platforms are being used to power digital transformation initiatives across a wide variety of business functions, including supply chain management, customer support, employee collaboration, sales and marketing.
In all of these business tasks that are being digitally transformed in the cloud, customer personal data regulated by GDPR is likely to be stored, processed and shared.
