What’s in store for Cloud Security in 2019?

The cloud is slowly becoming an integral IT component of every organization. Initially when the cloud services came in, many were dubious on the security part. Now, the cloud security technologies have advanced to increase the robustness to cyber-attacks. With 2019 here, here are the top 4 facts you need to know about the cloud in terms of security. 

1. High cloud investments will fuel the growth of leading public cloud providers. This growth will make them a bigger target for malicious attacks.
2. Open-source containers will shape the future of cloud-based applications. There will be an increase in the number of cloud security vendors using open-source containers in 2019. This will in turn push containers into the mainstream for any cloud-based application. 
3. Increased occurrence of DDoS threats as many enterprises start to use the cloud. This paves way for hackers to enter the cloud network and evolve their DDoS threats. To resolve these issues, many organizations will need next-gen cloud security tools like secure service meshes and convergent firewalls. 
4. Cloud load balancing to become the savior in keeping the cloud safe and intact. As the cloud becomes more complex, organizations will need to depend on cloud load balancing until it becomes the most important cloud security tool.
