Private cloud (a.k.a. internal cloud or corporate cloud) is an internal cloud architecture, ideally built in alignment with cloud-native principles. In a private cloud environment, the hardware and software are accessible by a single customer. A public cloud is a cloud computing infrastructure that is shared by multiple customers.
Private cloud yields the benefits of public cloud computing, such as scalability, elasticity and agile service delivery. However, because it’s internal, the organization maintains the access control, security, and resource customization of an on-premises infrastructure.
Many companies with strict regulatory oversight need to employ private cloud infrastructure to ensure security for workloads that involve sensitive data.
Hybrid and multi-cloud environments bring added operational complexity that puts sensitive data security at risk. Visibility across hybrid, multi-cloud ecosystem is fragmented. There are many different network and cloud security solutions employed, which only adds to the fragmentation.
Cloud security and network security are usually separate teams that cannot see each other’s environments, security controls or toolsets. Yet often applications in the cloud need to connect to an on-premises data center.
The complexity and fragmentation leads to cloud misconfigurations, compliance challenges, and the need to rely on many different dashboards to keep track of all the changes and activity.
