This document discusses securing workloads in the cloud. It recommends a 4 step approach: 1) control the cloud perimeter with advanced threat prevention, 2) securely segment workloads inside the cloud, 3) manage consistent security policies across hybrid environments, and 4) automate security to match the dynamic nature of the cloud. The document promotes Check Point's vSEC product family for providing adaptive security that learns and scales with applications in private and public clouds.
