It’s called “digital sprawl”, where services expand to meet an ever-broadening surface delivery platform. This behaviour is driven by competing demands of the marketplace and finding new ways to harness greater efficiency and productivity levels from employees and business partners. The migration away from self-hosted on-premises hardware to “as-a-service” and Cloud hosting has served to exacerbate this situation.
As the surface area increases, so too does the burden of protecting it. Automation and reconnaissance tools are often the best solution to remedy this security challenge. By centrally managing security, existing resources can be extended to improve an organisation’s cybersecurity posture and create a more resilient IT ecosystem. If compliance like PCI or legislative oversight are mandated, automated security tools can help achieve auditing and verification requirements too.
