Multicloud vs. Hybrid Cloud: Key Comparisons and Differences

Multicloud and hybrid cloud architectures both involve connecting disparate infrastructures. Although multicloud and hybrid cloud architectures share much in common, the way that the market has evolved over the past several years means that multicloud security often requires a different approach from hybrid cloud security.

The multicloud and hybrid cloud differences described above are the reasons why multicloud security requires a different approach than hybrid cloud security.

From a security platform market perspective, the differences between multicloud and hybrid cloud security are not huge because many cloud security platforms support all major public clouds.

Although hybrid cloud workloads look like public cloud workloads in most respects, the ability to understand the unique networking configurations of hybrid cloud environments may be important for security solutions that need to detect threats at the network level.
