Cloudflare says organisations are losing control over their IT and security environments \u2013 and the big cloud providers are holding all the keys to the castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The web performance and security provider released a study alongside Forrester which polled almost 450 IT decision makers globally, and found that while organisations had seen a dramatic increase in application adoption \u2013 predominantly SaaS-based \u2013 challenges have resulted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two in five firms polled (40%) agreed that they were losing control over their IT and security environments, while just under a third (30%) of respondents noted that managing and securing public cloud environments, as well as data in SaaS environments, was \u2018significantly more complex\u2019 today than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not the only thing which has changed in recent years either. Almost half of organisations polled said one of their top five challenges was the growing number of users they had to manage, as well as type; not just human, but machine and third-party. IT managers are also experiencing problems with maintaining or improving their team\u2019s productivity \u2013 cited by 44% of respondents \u2013 as well as addressing growing attack surface areas (44%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organisations cited an increase in the number of applications they manage as the biggest factor contributing to the loss of control, cited by 66% of respondents. An increase in locations for applications was also popular, according to 62% of those polled, as well as the shift from on-premises to cloud (54%) and the shift towards remote and hybrid workforces (49%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is to blame for these challenging conditions? For Cloudflare, the answer is obvious. \u201cToday, the big clouds have built business models on capturing your data, making it hard to move your data,\u201d said Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare. \u201cThese captivity clouds will lure you in with one product, and make it near impossible to mix and match competitive offerings across the cloud space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company claims that it has a solution, and is introducing what it calls the \u2018connectivity cloud.\u2019<\/a> It is described as a \u2018unified platform of cloud-native services designed to help enterprises regain control over their increasingly complex and sprawling technology and data.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means, in principle, four key factors. The first is deep, native integration with the internet and enterprise networks for low-latency and infinitely scalable connectivity across users, applications, and infrastructure. The second is limitless interoperability and customisable networking, while the third is a single pane of glass. The last factor is the ability to analyse extremely high volumes and varieties of traffic in order to provide \u2018platform intelligence\u2019, which can be seen as a key strength for Cloudflare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This appears to be a serious outlay for Cloudflare, who introduced itself in the press release as \u2018the leading connectivity cloud company\u2019, which might be a safe bet considering it is thus far a category of one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFundamentally, we are a network that makes it easy for you to connect and protect everything,\u201d added Prince. \u201cWe sit atop everything else and connect anything that\u2019s online \u2013 whether it\u2019s a cloud, a device, a database, or on-premises hardware \u2013 so businesses can escape the grasp of the cloud captors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
