Why The Security Of Your Cloud Perimeter Could Be At Risk
Cloud-native NAT gateways are easy to spin up and easy to overlook as a security risk. But if your cloud perimeter security depends on them, you are likely overpaying and underprotected at the same time. Data egress charges alone account for 10 to 15% of cloud bills, and the security obfuscation NAT provides is nowhere near enough to stop modern attack methods. This whitepaper is for cloud and security teams who want to fix both problems without adding more complexity to an environment that is already hard enough to manage.

What you'll find inside
The two problems cloud-native NAT gateways create simultaneously, and why most teams only discover one of them until it is too late
Why the cloud perimeter is fundamentally different from an on-premises perimeter, and what that means for how you should actually be thinking about protection across your entire cloud estate
Eight principles for rethinking your cloud perimeter security strategy, from shifting enforcement to the workload level to designing for cost efficiency without sacrificing protection
Why complexity is the enemy of cloud security, and what consolidating your approach actually looks like in practice
