Does the cloud have edges? We refer to the cloud as a perimeter-less environment, with workloads moving dynamically through various physical networks and regions. The cloud is interlinked in such a manner that there is no clearly defined edge to it. So what does it really mean to create cloud security at the edge?
To answer this question, let’s use an analogy. When the world was considered a flat landmass, humans thought it had a physical edge. Once we understood that Earth is a globe, the concept of that physical edge was no longer valid. However, from a logical point of view, the world’s landmass is divided into continents, countries, cities, neighborhoods, apartments, houses, etc. People can move around freely among these various locations. However, each area has its own rules of entry to ensure people traversing these locations are checked for positive intent and don’t have a negative impact at the location. Thus, a strong level of investigation at the port of entry becomes critical.
