The cloud network landscape is becoming increasingly complex. Networking teams are forced to navigate a growing matrix of cloud providers, edge sites, third-party solutions, tools, and applications that create numerous options to choose from and accounts to manage. As organizations scale and new security threats emerge, networking professionals already working around the clock will find that maintaining connectivity, security, and performance in this complicated world will only become harder.
According to a recent report from the Cloud Security Alliance, growing cloud complexity is fueling security concerns:
- 65% of security and IT management professionals consider cloud security a top concern, with 72% saying it will become even more critical in the future.
- 39% of organizations are increasing their SaaS cybersecurity budgets compared to last year.
Aviatrix’s newest offering, Aviatrix Platform-as-a-Service or Aviatrix PaaS — which just opened to limited general availability this month (register here) — equips networking teams to become the heroes of their organizations through the gift of networking simplicity. Powered by AI insights, this managed offering gives you centralized management and control and robust security features like egress security scoring, DCF filtering, deep visibility, and AI Assist for enhanced operational intelligence — all while removing the burden of constant maintenance and upgrades.
As Chris McHenry, Aviatrix SVP of Product Management, told CRN, this new offering is “[something] like legacy Cisco versus Cisco Meraki, where we’re managing the network, and it’s an as a service offering in the cloud that’s super easy to spin up. The goal is to make it as simple and as easy to manage as a first-party service from the cloud provider, so an AWS, Azure or a Google branded service. You can deploy our product and you can get the benefits of networking and network security, without having to think about any of the operational overhead.”
“Aviatrix PaaS represents a paradigm shift in how we approach cloud network security,” said David Linthicum, internationally known cloud computing expert, analyst, author, and speaker. “In a landscape where most vendors are still struggling to connect basic security and networking dots, Aviatrix has delivered something truly transformative — a fully managed platform that seamlessly integrates AI-driven operations with enterprise-grade security. What’s particularly impressive is how they’ve managed to simplify the complexity of multicloud networking while actually enhancing visibility and control. The integration of AI-powered insights for both security and cost optimization aren’t just innovative — it’s exactly what enterprises need to manage the growing complexity of their cloud environments. This is the kind of forward-thinking solution that will define the next generation of cloud network security.”
