Establishing trust, data security, risk with API, and interoperability between different cloud instances are big challenges for security leaders today in a multi-cloud environment. The new challenge that is evident now is the ambiguity around bolt-in and bolt-on security in the cloud as enterprises grapple between using cloud-native and third-party tools to establish required security. CISOs have the daunting task of establishing a robust security posture in a multi-cloud environment, especially given the siloed work scenario. Besides, managing multiple cloud service providers is a big task.
