Storm Clouds - Security Issues in the Cloud and How to Address Them

Sponsored Content by Navisite

This Webinar highlights the four critical areas of concern when securing cloud infrastructure services and managed enterprise applications.

The cost-benefits of cloud infrastructure services and managed enterprise applications continue to drive more enterprises to cloud deployments. The most effective security is still a layered defense based on a framework. Security technology and procedures are augmenting existing security frameworks to accommodate cloud architectures. Managed cloud deployments offer the opportunity for the enterprise to build in security from the ground up. In fact, properly configured and managed, enterprise security in the cloud may be greater than what they could achieve on their own.

Ultimately the enterprise is responsible for a security posture. The widely accepted characterization is a “trust but verify” relationship with the cloud service provider.  The enterprise must be proactive regarding SLAs, reporting, and defining security responsibilities – in effect taking on audit-like responsibilities, just as management should demand from an in-house IT organization. Deploying cloud infrastructure services represents an opportunity for the enterprise to leverage the greater resources available from the IaaS provider and build in security from the ground up.
