With the rise and widespread adoption of cloud computing, more enterprises are migrating to the cloud and modernizing their applications as a core IT priority. At the same time, IT modernization is placing increasingly demanding requirements on the core components of infrastructure: compute, storage, and networking. The adoption of virtualization technology has greatly improved infrastructure efficiency and convenience, while also breaking applications down into finer-grained units, adding complexity to application management and control. Domestic laws and regulations have likewise raised the bar for cloud and data center security.
As virtualized networking and SDN gradually become the foundation of data center interconnection, ensuring application security in virtualized network environments has become one of the top concerns for customers. This is both a regulatory requirement and an inevitable necessity given the continuously escalating and evolving cybersecurity threat landscape.
