Cloud Security Gateways Market

Enterprises, today, are rapidly adopting newer technological advancements in their normal practices and cloud is one of such advancements. Enterprises are witnessing several benefits from cloud adoption. These benefits include cost flexibility, scalability, availability, faster application delivery, disaster recovery, and more comprehensive pricing models. Such features are driving more and more businesses to go on Internet. In this process sometimes, enterprises bypass some of the security measures taken earlier which make these organizations vulnerable to risks of data leakages and losses. Owing to such incidents, several enterprises drop this idea to move on cloud.

Security over cloud is a major concern for enterprises and security professionals. The key question in front of these professionals and enterprises is to make decisions such as how to maintain the balance between increased risks and the agility and other economic benefits.

In the earlier times, databases resided on the physical infrastructure provided by enterprise in its own location; hence, enterprises had total control over the data. With the adoption of cloud and virtualization, databases are located on third party owned infrastructure and managed by third party vendors. In such scenario, data control becomes a major concern for enterprises when third party vendors control and manage infrastructure and other resources.

Since the whole database or some part of the data resides on a third party vendor location, there is always a possibility of data leakage while communicating from on-premise to on cloud data. Cloud security gateway is the solution which is developed to address this issue. Cloud security gateways ensure the smooth and reliable data transmission between the databases located on-premise and cloud. Basically, cloud security gateways are the security enforcement points between cloud service providers and consumers which interpolate security policies when cloud-based resources are accessed from consumer or enterprise premise.
