Cloud-first networking means your WAN is now a security architecture and most teams have not caught up
When workloads were on-prem the perimeter was clear. The data center was where security enforcement happened and the WAN was just how sites got there.
After moving to AWS, Azure, and SaaS that model inverts completely. Traffic between users and their data never touches the data center anymore, so enforcement at the perimeter covers nothing that actually matters.
What you end up with is networking managing WAN connectivity and security managing cloud posture in parallel, running different tooling with different visibility into the same environment. That gap is where incidents happen.
