For most CTOs, the real compliance problem is not passing audits. It is how compliance pushes releases to a halt and drains DevOps velocity. Code ships daily, deployments span clouds, and CI/CD moves fast. Quarterly or annual checks simply do not keep up, and that gap creates audit fatigue and surprise findings. Continuous compliance reframes this by integrating controls into the delivery process.

We say this just about every time the subject comes up (which is often, given our industry and role in it), but valid information security is not a state of being. It is a moving target and a process. Achieving certification for a certain level of security is a snapshot of a moment in time, but before the hands on the clock swing around again, that snapshot is out of date. Security frameworks like FedRAMP deal with this reality in a few different ways.

A common request we hear at Teleport is for immediate Just-in-Time (JIT) access. Users shouldn't have standing access to resources, but they do need an audited escalation and approval process they can personally execute when access is required. This raises an important challenge: how do we ensure users only access the resources they truly need, without creating access sprawl or slowing teams down?

Backups have always been our strength. BDRSuite and BDRCloud earned their reputation for cost-effective, reliable protection. But today, the stakes are higher. Ransomware, compliance demands, and costly downtime have redefined what backup must deliver. It’s no longer enough to just have copies of data — those copies must be untouchable, tamper-proof, and instantly recoverable when it matters most.

Cybersecurity in 2025 is marked by a more complex, dynamic, and decentralised environment. Threats have not only become more sophisticated but also act faster, supported by technologies including artificial intelligence and a fragmented geopolitical context. Against this backdrop, the latest IDC report* on the state of cybersecurity in 2025 brings to the table a paradigm shift in how protection is provided, with what resources and under what structures.
