The main point is that we are working on stable , secure and modularized services for the cloudification of everything .
“ That ’ s not a one-shot project – it ’ s something ongoing . We ’ ll keep modularizing different elements as we move forward . We ’ re not moving to the cloud because the cloud is magical , but we ’ ll need to adapt and grow with the business .”
From an operational risk perspective , Sutton explains that Rexel aims to strike a balance when it comes to its cloud transformation . “ Sometimes we need to have total control on our side . When going through security investigations that happen in large companies , you realise the value of on-premises infrastructure and your ability to access logs in real-time to make quick decisions .
“ A lot of our decisions for a hybrid approach are also protecting us in the future ,” he adds . “ If there is a cloud problem , that means we can manage some workloads on-premises , and have the reversibility to adapt and change to future needs .”
Leriche agrees , highlighting security ’ s role as an enabler rather than a blocker , facilitating the shift to the cloud while focusing on identity , data protection and cloud security posture improvements .
