The report found that <strong>one in three organizations was unable to detect a breach in the last 12 months<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, <strong>just 25% were able to respond in real time<\/strong>, revealing a cybersecurity preparedness gap.<\/p>\n<p>Gigamon said the study reveals a <strong>decline in detection and response capabilities<\/strong> year-on-year, compared to the company&#8217;s 2023 Hybrid Cloud Security report.

Without real-time, network-derived intelligence and insights into all data in motion, including East-West [communication between different areas of a data center] and encrypted traffic, bad actors will continue to wreak havoc, now with AI accelerating their efforts.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The annual survey included insights from over 1,000 security and IT leaders across Australia, France, Germany, Singapore, the U.K., and the U.S.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"attackers_go_undetected_hiding_behind_encryption\">Attackers Go Undetected Hiding Behind Encryption<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mazal from Gigamon spoke to Techopedia about the report and what specific challenges and vulnerabilities are unique to large hybrid cloud environment operations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All cloud traffic is automatically encrypted,&#8221; Mazal said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite encryption&#8217;s very purpose to keep data safe, our research has found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gigamon.com\/content\/dam\/gated\/wp-gigamon-survey-hybrid-cloud-security-2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">93% of malware hides behind encrypted traffic<\/a>, enabling cybercriminals to traverse laterally within an organization&#8217;s network, often going undetected for weeks or even months waiting for the opportune time to attack&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Mazal explained that most public breaches in recent news are victims of this type of attack \u2014 where threat actors often are found &#8220;living off the land&#8221; for months or even years.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;While I wasn&#8217;t surprised to see the survey report that one in three breaches goes undetected, it is still a very alarming statistic.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From added pressure from boards to achieving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/34572\/zero-trust-zt\">Zero Trust<\/a> architecture without the resources or skills, an overabundance of solutions, and limited visibility; security teams face additional factors that aggravate the situation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Many of these concerns can be remediated with deep observability \u2014 the ability to extract network-derived intelligence and direct\u00a0 it to cloud, security, and observability tools.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"its_all_about_deep_observability\">It&#8217;s All About Deep Observability<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As the saying goes, &#8216;You cannot protect that which you do not see&#8217;.

So gaining complete visibility into both lateral (East-West) and encrypted traffic is paramount for today&#8217;s organizations to secure their infrastructure and data.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mazal added that internal organizational structures must also adapt to better support security efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Weak technical and organizational links often result in undetected attacks and much of this comes down to communication and the delineation of ownership between CIOs, CISOs, and their respective teams.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By reviewing and establishing better internal practices, organizations can reduce gaps in the process, promote full ownership\/responsibility, and strengthen overall security posture,&#8221; Mazal said.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Deep observability is powered by high-fidelity data and network telemetry, going beyond MELT (metrics, events, logs, and traces) data, and is crucial for cloud security. It helps detect previously unseen threats, deliver defense in depth, and help with complete performance management.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"hybrid_cloud_security_from_a_penetration_testers_perspective\">Hybrid Cloud Security From A Penetration Tester&#8217;s Perspective<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Gigamon Hybrid Cloud Security report found that a majority (85%) of CISOs agree that gaining deep observability into a hybrid cloud infrastructure is crucial for shifting to a proactive mindset and preventing attacks.<a href=\"https:\/\/streaklinks.com\/CBH2M268_KqtkWHlnAoQsM3I\/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gigamon.com%2Fresources%2Fdeep-observability.html\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/samuel-zarn\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Sam Zarn<\/strong><\/a><strong>, Senior Penetration Tester at <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bpm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BPM<\/strong><\/a>, an accounting and consulting firm, spoke to Techopedia about modern hybrid cloud environment risks and best practices.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In large hybrid cloud environments, cybersecurity teams get the worst of both worlds. They face unique complexities from both on-premises and cloud-based resources, rather than a consolidated security horizon for both.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Administrators must decipher ways to appropriately apply controls across an entire organization, both on-premises and in the cloud, even where pathways to do so may differ significantly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These hurdles can lead to increased gaps between desired configurations and actual configurations which hurts vulnerability management,&#8221; Zarn said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Similarly, the extensive number of unique data sources makes it far more challenging to analyze the appropriate data and draw meaningful conclusions from it, exacerbating the struggle to detect attacks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, how should security teams approach hybrid cloud security today? The answer, according to Zarn, is to strive for visibility, standardization, automation, and policy enforcement.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Having data in the same form everywhere is key.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Zarn explained that access to rich log data from the cloud provider through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/24407\/application-programming-interface-api\">application programming interfaces<\/a> (APIs) often requires additional licensing but can help security teams enhance visibility by analyzing encrypted traffic in the log data.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"hitachi_vantara_talks_ai_hybrid_cloud_security\">Hitachi Vantara Talks AI Hybrid Cloud Security<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/otanase\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Octavian Tanase<\/strong><\/a><strong>, Chief Product Officer at <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/otanase\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Hitachi Vantara<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hitachi, spoke to Techopedia about the risks of moving data between on-premises and cloud environments and the need for data strategies.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;A lack of data strategy exposes organizations to heightened cybersecurity vulnerabilities, compliance risks, inefficiencies, and slower operational speeds. Furthermore, there is a potential inability to recognize ransomware attacks while replicating, tiering, or conducting disaster recovery to or from the cloud targets.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tanase from Hitachi Vantara said that AI-driven data management solutions, &#8220;especially those that target infrastructure and metadata management&#8221;, are crucial in today&#8217;s hybrid cloud environment.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;By implementing such (AI) solutions, organizations can secure sensitive data and streamline operations.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"organizations_are_unprepared_for_todays_attacks\">Organizations are Unprepared for Today&#8217;s Attacks<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Gigamon report, as in many other recent surveys, reveals that security teams are not prepared to deal with modern attacks that leverage AI.<\/p>\n<p>Only 25% of organizations were able to remediate a live threat in a recent breach, and when tooling fails, organizations suffer more serious consequences. Deep observability is viewed as central to modern IT success.<\/p>\n<p>Tanase from Hitachi Vantara spoke about AI and the present and future of the threat landscape..<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;By 2031, ransomware is projected to strike every two seconds, and with bad actors growing increasingly sophisticated with the use of AI, it&#8217;s no wonder security teams struggle to detect attacks.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tanase said that security leaders can no longer rely on traditional security measures like firewalls.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Visibility should be at the epicenter of every organization&#8217;s data infrastructure, particularly at a time at which data is growing at an exponential rate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"the_bottom_line\">The Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Traditional security tools are failing to keep up with the growing complexity of hybrid cloud environments and the sophistication of modern attacks. Encryption, once a safeguard, is now being exploited by attackers to hide their activities.<\/p>\n<p>This lack of visibility leaves organizations vulnerable to breaches that go undetected for extended periods. A new approach \u2014 deep observability \u2013 is gaining ground. By providing insights into all dataflows, including encrypted traffic, deep observability can help security teams proactively identify threats and prevent attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gigamon, a company that helps secure hybrid cloud infrastructures for Lockheed Martin, Amazon&#8217;s AWS, Johns Hopkins Medical Institution, and the Department of Defense, sound the alarm that organizations are losing ground in the cybersecurity arms race.
