The transition from static to dynamic infrastructures as organizations move to cloud and multi-cloud environments is a generational transition for IT. This shift brings great opportunity for organizations to leverage compute capacity on demand and manage their services in novel ways. It also brings a new set of realities for internal security teams—dynamic secrets management, identity brokering, and data encryption on all levels.

As a result, this requires a fundamentally different approach to security. Teams must adapt to a world moving from IP-based high-trust networks to low-trust public clouds with unknown network perimeters where identity based security becomes the new norm.

Learn about security in a multi-cloud environment and how HashiCorp Vault can help in this webinar.
