Gartner predicts that 85% of organizations will adopt a cloud first strategy by 2025.

Modern organizations are built on an increasingly complex operating environments often involving an expanding cloud footprint, multiple cloud service providers, and traditional on-prem solutions. This has left organizations with diverse technologies each with different strategies towards applying least privilege, segmentation, monitoring and other key components of Zero Trust.
