This general guidance is also applicable to hybrid cloud environments. As more businesses are relying on interconnected technologies, like IoT sensors and cloud-based platforms, it’s becoming unmanageable to respond to cyberthreats and resulting incidents without having proper visibility across the cyberthreat landscape. So it’s
