CRN Recognizes Dazz as a Cloud 100 Company for 2024

Dazz, the leader in security remediation, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Dazz to its annual Cloud 100 list. This list honors the 100 leading cloud companies for 2024 across five key categories: infrastructure, monitoring and management, storage, software, and security.

CRN’s Cloud 100 list spotlights technology suppliers for their commitment to channel partners as well as their demonstrated innovation in cloud-based technology development. This list is the trusted resource for solution providers looking for technology vendors best positioned to support their cloud product and services needs.

The Dazz Unified Remediation Platform gives CISOs holistic visibility across all their environments and detection tools for faster response to security issues, which is invaluable in the wake of increased regulations to disclose and fix cybersecurity risks. The platform features several patent-pending technologies that trace any security finding to resources up and downstream, including resources that originate security issues and those that are impacted by them. Armed with automated root cause analysis, security and development teams leverage Dazz assistive and automatic remediation actions to reduce mean-time-to-remediate (MTTR). According to a recent IDC research paper, Dazz customers reduce the time to remediate by as much as 90 percent.

“We are honored to be recognized by CRN as one of the top 100 cloud companies for 2024, and take pride in empowering security leaders with an industry-first remediation solution that covers everything organizations they develop and run in code, clouds, applications, and infrastructure,” says Merav Bahat, Co-Founder and CEO at Dazz. “As security leaders navigate new regulatory demands and an ever-changing threat landscape, we look forward to collaborating with our partners to deliver significant value to our customers, including faster fixes, increased productivity, and greater business innovation.” 

“As migration to the public cloud and cloud-based software accelerates, enterprises increasingly depend on innovative, secure cloud services to harness the cloud’s agility and scalability,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, US Content and Executive Editor, CRN, The Channel Company. “The companies selected for this year’s Cloud 100 list demonstrate a strong commitment to supporting cloud computing solution providers with leading-edge products and services. Congratulations to those on this year’s list! We look forward to seeing how they propel innovation and channel success in cloud computing throughout the year ahead.”

75% of Cloud Developers Would Switch Cloud Providers

 Fully three-quarters of software developers working in a cloud environment would consider moving to a new cloud for development according to Evans Data’s recently released survey of cloud developers. Of those three-quarters, 43% would “definitely” be willing to move to a new cloud for their development efforts while 32% would “probably” consider the change.

When it came to cloud deployments, however, developers were less keen. Only 28% would definitely be willing to switch, while 35% would probably consider it. Thirty-seven percent would probably or definitely not consider it. While various difficulties may arise from switching cloud providers, including database lock-ins and dealing with unique hardware characteristics and configurations, a top reason for developers is the need to rework their codebases. Sixty-three percent said their codebase would need significant rework if it were to be moved to a new cloud provider. In fact, nearly all codebases would need some rework, as only 4% of developers cited that no rework would be needed in moving to a new cloud environment. The larger and older codebases of more established companies likely require the most rework.

The survey provided a margin of error of 4.8% and was conducted in September of this year. It examined various aspects of cloud development including multi-cloud configurations, cloud migration, data centers, AI in the cloud, and security among other topics. It found that the top reasons developers would migrate to another cloud are related to faster performance, better vendor supplied databases, and better tech support. Security can also be an issue. Developers faulted their current service providers for not supplying specific security tools.

Evans Data Corp’s biannual Cloud Development survey provides fresh data on current Cloud development topics. Covering a wide array of current topics ranging from AI and machine learning in the cloud, Kubernetes and microservices, orchestration, multi and hybrid cloud, data centers, and much more the survey offers a comprehensive insight into the evolving cloud development landscape.
