A report by EMA and BlueCat how cloud and networking team collaboration can mitigate the challenges that enterprises face to achieve the full benefits of cloud.

Cloud computing is growing more popular by the day. Yet, as companies accelerate cloud adoption, only 28 per cent consider themselves fully successful with realizing the benefits of their cloud investments. Why is this?

New research by Enterprise Management Associates(EMA), in partnership with BlueCat, attempts to uncover the causes of these issues and fix them.

The research shows that networking is a clear sticking point: success hinges on an organizations ability to integrate its cloud and traditional network infrastructure teams at all levels (design, implementation, and operation).

Organizations must get networking in hybrid cloud environments right. For instance, aDNSorIP addressing the issue can add years to a multi-million-dollar projects timeline. This report explores why this partnership is so critical, the consequences of failed partnerships, and best practices from the most successful enterprises that IT executives can implement.

The findings in this research are based on a survey of 212 networking and cloud professionals conducted in March 2021 by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) and BlueCat Networks.

The report identifies that 28 per cent of companies identified as very successful cloud adopters are twice as likely to integrate cloud and networking teams at all levels; more than half of enterprises barely follow this best practice at all.

Cloud teams are more likely to consider a unified approach to cloud networks and report cloud adoption success than the network team. This suggests that not everybody sees the full extent of issues arising from inadequate cloud adoption efforts.

73 per cent of the enterprises surveyed have experienced security or compliance problems over the last year due to insufficient collaboration; these included security-related downtime (39 per cent), compliance violations (33 per cent), data leak (26 per cent), and financial loss (22 per cent).

89 per cent of the surveyed enterprises also experienced an IT operations problem due to collaboration failures (Poor performance of cloud applications as the most common issue) (43 per cent), as well as change requests (37 per cent), and significant downtime (36 per cent).

Lastly, 82 per cent of enterprises experienced business-level problems related to collaboration issues. These include end-user productivity loss (35 per cent), cost overruns (33 per cent), customer loyalty challenges (29 per cent), and technical talent retention issues (28 per cent).

These stats further confirm that enterprises gain the most value from their cloud investments by unifying cloud and networking.

Shamus McGillicuddy, lead analyst and VP of Research at EMA, says, Industry leaders must recognize that the networking team offers intrinsic value to a cloud adoption initiative. Getting things right at the beginning can save millions of dollars and years in project time.

1) Make collaboration a C-level initiative:

While only 34 per cent of research participants believed that executive leadership is doing an excellent job at pushing for better network and cloud team collaboration, very successful enterprises were almost twice as likely to say so (58 per cent). The report shows that the two teams frequently have conflicting goals that prevent them from working well together, only furthering the point that executives need to bring them together.

2) Ensure the network teams an equal partner at the table:

88 per cent of cloud and network professionals agree that the network team needs to have visibility and input into cloud design. Network teams bring processes and knowledge about stability, whereas the cloud team brings a more flexible and open-minded perspective. IT leaders must push for methods/procedures that allow both groups to understand whats occurring across the hybrid cloud environment. Currently, only 28 per cent of cloud and networking professionals believe that they have adequate visibility into changes made in cloud networks. Very successful organizations are twice as likely to be satisfied with their visibility (57 pe cent).

3) Unify and modernize DDI, security and compliance across domains:

Network and cloud teams should move to unify their tools and practice for designing, building, and operating hybrid cloud networks. While only 40 per cent fully unify IP address space management, nearly all of the unsuccessful cloud adopters as part of this research keep IP space management at least partially siloed. Siloed management of critical services like DNS and IP space management is a bad strategy and could cause security issues down the line.

4) Ensure both teams are trained on all necessary skills:

IT execs need to close the skills gaps between their two teams. IT execs need to close the skills gaps between their two teams. Cloud teams have a limited understanding of networking, and network teams arent up to date with the tools and solutions that cloud teams use. Close skill gaps through training and giving network and cloud teams access to technologies and tools used by their peers in each silo the top priority is learning cloud providersnetwork features and services.

Before IT executives lean into the cloud too heavily, they must ensure their house is in order and address any dysfunction between the cloud and networking teams. A host of factors undermine collaboration between these teams. With that, IT executives should start by empowering network teams as equal partners in the cloud journey.

Contrast furthers commitment to empower organizations to rapidly build and run scalable applications in modern, dynamic environments with security integrity

LOS ALTOS, Calif., May 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Contrast Security, a leader in modernizing application security, today announced that it has joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF) and Linux Foundationas a silver member, which brings together the world's top developers, end-users, and vendors to enable cloud native architectures and open source technologies. CNCF serves as the vendor-neutral home for many of the fastest-growing open source projects, including Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Envoy. In becoming a member, Contrast aims to support and educate the industry on the increasing risks and benefits of cloud native architectures and open source software through active participation in the foundation's events, projects, and community.

Adoption of third-party open source software (OSS) has increased significantly over the past several years. OSS refers to application components (e.g., frameworks and libraries) within the public domain that developers can use, modify, and share to help augment proprietary code developed in-house and to accelerate time to market. As a result, OSS has gained wide adoption and is used by the vast number of enterprises embraced by major corporations, including Walmart, JPMorgan Chase, and even Microsoft. At the same time, Contrast continues to empower organizations to leverage OSS safely without the risks they bring: vulnerabilities inherited to enterprises' software, targeted attacks against open source code, and intellectual property licensing risks.

Cloud native applications also offer various benefits to organizations over traditional applications running in the cloud. The value of cloud native approaches typically falls into two different areas: greater business agility and faster development cycles. As organizations seek to tap the advantages of cloud native, the adoption of cloud native components is rapidly growing. Forrester, for example, predicts that just a year from now, 30% of developers will regularly use cloud containers and 25% will use serverless computing. These numbers will likely only increase as the marketplace continues to rapidly evolve and enterprises frequently need to make high-impact changes to applications on a very short timeline. However, in order to realize the full benefits of cloud native applications, organizations must ensure they have the right security technology and processes in place.

"We are proud to announce that Contrast has joined as a member of the CNCF and Linux Foundation to help drive industry change," said Surag Patel, Chief Strategy Officer at Contrast Security. "Many of the core foundations of this community to accelerate digital transformation, such as APIs, Kubernetes, serverless functions, Cloud Native architecture, and open source code, bring along with them exponentially increasing risk. Contrast was founded to enable enterprises to leverage all of these modern approacheswhile eliminating the risk they bring without slowing down digital transformation. We will bring a unique understanding of the market along with a differentiated capability around security observability that we believe will benefit the community."

Contrast's CNCF membership follows the recent publication of its 2021 State of Open-source Security Reportthat revealed that 38% of third-party libraries found in applications are active and only 31% of classes in active libraries are invoked. Traditional software composition analysis (SCA) approaches attempt to analyze all of the open source code contained in applications which translates into a huge time and resource expenditure chasing vulnerabilities that pose no risk at all. Yet, for third-party code that is invoked, risk is inherent: The average age of a library is 2.6 years old,and applications contain an average of 34 CVEs.

The report also discovered that many applications contain high-risk licensing issues that may require the applications in question to be released as open source (e.g., 35% contain at least one copyleft license). CNCF members will benefit from these and other types of data insights that are possible as a result of the inside-out application security approach of the Contrast Application Security Platform.

"It is a pleasure to welcome Contrast as a CNCF member," said Priyanka Sharma, General Manager at CNCF. "Cloud native patterns require integrated security practices and a paradigm shift to protect applications closer to dynamic workloads from the traditional perimeter-based security approach. We look forward to Contrast's contributions and run-time security expertise to help shape the future of cloud native security and secure open source software."

Contrast already supports a variety of CNCF projects including Buildpackswith automated configuration of Contrast's security instrumentation technology into every workload image. Every workload is paired with application security insights, instilling security confidence at scale in highly distributed environments. As a CNCF member, Contrast will continue to collaborate with peers on best practices, work directly with project maintainers, and provide feedback to CNCF.

About Contrast Security:

Contrast Security is the leader in modernizing application security, embedding code analysis and attack prevention directly into software. Contrast's patented deep security instrumentation completely disrupts traditional application security approaches with integrated, comprehensive security observability that delivers highly accurate assessment and continuous protection of an entire application portfolio. This eliminates the need for disruptive scanning, expensive infrastructure workloads, and specialized security experts.
