EXPERT SPEAK
The next generation of data center security solutions are built to support the explosion of data running in heterogeneous environments that exists today .
By 2025 , according to a study by TechTarget , humanity ’ s collective data will reach the 175-zettabyte mark .
It is such a magnitude that only cybersecurity platforms that deeply exploit AI and ML resources can act in a predictive and fully automated way to preserve the data center from the action of digital gangs .
CWPP platforms use AI and ML to perform the ‘ matching ’ between data center workloads and the services that will be effectively delivered to companies and people using multicloud environments with maximum performance and security .
At the end of the day , what arrives for the user is the digital service ( an application ); up to this point , however , thousands or millions of virtual workloads are processed 24x7 .
As each data center is a patchwork quilt with different generations of networks , systems and applications being processed , CWPP seeks to be a response to this situation .
The CWPP platform processes data in containers or microservices in order to simultaneously identify and block threats and deliver to the Brazilian digital economy the apps responsible for making business run .
It ’ s a complex mission : today everything is software , everything is application . The data center exists to support secure , highperformance application processing .
In this context , CWPP platforms act as a complete little computer , using AI and ML to detect vulnerabilities . It ’ s easier to instantly take security actions to protect the workloads that underpin the application .
The CWPP discipline adds resiliency to the data center that acts as the foundation of multicloud . It is a fundamental achievement for Brazil , which needs a secure and high-performing digital economy to continue growing in 2024 . •
