Cloud computing didn't just reshape infrastructure - it fundamentally rewired how we think about network security.
It forced a shift from "castle-and-moat" thinking to zero trust everywhere.
Perimeter security became obsolete the moment your data, apps, and users scattered across cloud providers, devices, and countries.
The cloud now is the network.
And that means security has to be:
1. Identity-first
2. Real-time
3. Programmable
4. And deeply embedded at every layer of the stack
What I love about cloud-native security is that it's not just reactive - it's proactive.
You can enforce policies automatically, monitor continuously, and respond instantly.
Things like infrastructure-as-code and policy-as-code mean you're securing design patterns, not just endpoints.
Advice for teams?
Don't treat cloud like a data center you don't own.
Treat it like a living, breathing system that demands continuous attention, tight IAM, and brutal discipline around least privilege.
Cloud isn't just changing network security - it's demanding better security thinking from all of us.
