As many organizations have been forced to make a rapid shift to work-from-home to help control the spread of COVID-19, a significant percentage of IT and cloud professionals are concerned about maintaining the security of their cloud environments during this period. Even otherwise, security has always been a prime concern for CIO/CISOs with more organizations moving to cloud in the ever evolving security landscape. While cloud security is a crowded market in India, several players are establishing their credentials by creating a niche in the country, while simplifying regulatory compliance. One such company, Aqua Security, an Israel based cloud security firm that helps enterprises to secure their cloud native applications, using a modern zero-touch approach to detect and prevent threats, has set its eyes on the Indian market and plans to drive business in the country.
