More than traditional defense techniques are required due to the rapid evolution of the cyber security scene. Advanced cyber threats can now migrate laterally into networks with frightening ease to take advantage of weaknesses that conventional perimeter defenses cannot completely address. The traditional network boundary has been blurred by the growth of remote work and greater mobility, making location-neutral security solutions necessary. Concurrently, the extensive use of cloud services has distributed resources outside traditional perimeter-based security, posing new data protection challenges.
