On front of security, you adapt a plan for your data security and decide what security devices you are willing to buy , manage and monitor to defend your IT infrastructure be it firewalls, Intrusion detection\/ Intrusion prevention systems, Antivirus etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional approach gives more control over how each device is used. Costs of installation and maintenance are the biggest drawback of traditional systems. As more data grows more equipment needs to be purchased which calls for more resources to manage so running costs are high.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"challenges-of-traditional-it-security\"><strong>Challenges of Traditional IT Security&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cybersecurity stacks are costly, complex and resource demanding&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High upfront costs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Longer time to market<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slow adaptation and limited scalability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"comparison-table-cloud-security-vs-traditional-it-security\"><strong>Comparison Table:<\/strong> <strong>Cloud security vs Traditional IT Security&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below table summarizes the difference between the two:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"687\" data-id=\"1137\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CLOUD-SECURITY-VS-TRADITIONAL-IT-SECURITY-table.jpg\" alt=\"Cloud security vs Traditional IT Security\u00a0\" class=\"wp-image-1137 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CLOUD-SECURITY-VS-TRADITIONAL-IT-SECURITY-table.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CLOUD-SECURITY-VS-TRADITIONAL-IT-SECURITY-table-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CLOUD-SECURITY-VS-TRADITIONAL-IT-SECURITY-table-768x528.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CLOUD-SECURITY-VS-TRADITIONAL-IT-SECURITY-table-600x412.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/687;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Download the comparison table: <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CLOUD-SECURITY-VS-TRADITIONAL-IT-SECURITY-table.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cloud<em><strong> <\/strong><\/em>Security vs Traditional Security<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"quick-facts\"><strong>Quick facts !<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Cloud Security Market size is projected to become USD 37.69 billion by 2027<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nowadays more and more businesses are adopting cloud to run its IT due to the emergence of multiple hybrid environments. &#8230; <a title=\"Cloud Security vs Traditional IT Security\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/cloud-security-vs-traditional-it-security\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Cloud Security vs Traditional IT Security\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":660,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[38,46],"tags":[67],"class_list":["post-658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cloud-technologies","category-security","tag-comparison","pmpro-has-access"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=658"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3645,"href":"https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658\/revisions\/3645"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloudwithease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
