This dossier focuses on why traditional security approaches fail in cloud environments and why a new, unified strategy is required. It highlights that organizations are adopting cloud faster than they can secure it, leading to alert overload, fragmented tooling, and lack of visibility. The diagram on page 7 illustrates the shared responsibility model, showing how security responsibilities are split between cloud providers and users, often creating gaps. The report criticizes agent-based security for being slow, incomplete, and difficult to scale, noting that only 20% of VMs even have agents installed. It advocates for an agentless, cloud-native approach that provides full visibility across workloads, identities, and configurations, while enabling “shift-left” security in development pipeli
