For nearly two decades, cloud computing has offered – and delivered – a utopian dream. Organisations short on resources can tackle bigger, better-equipped and well-funded competitors, and those behemoths in turn enjoy the freedom and flexibility that cloud brings.
The dream has become everyday reality; now it’s time to face some hard truths about what the cloud means for organizational security, and that starts with an understanding of how the underlying principles differ from what’s gone before. Of course, the cloud can mean many different things – from the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings that we all rely on but most end users are blissfully unaware of, to the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) tools such as Microsoft 365 and Salesforce that many people use every day. The thing that unites all these cloud flavours is the concept of shared responsibility for security: customers are on the hook for everything cloud providers exclude from their built-in security controls.
Gain access to the comprehensive report on Cloud security on the WithSecure website. In this report, the hidden truths of cloud security are revealed – some commonplace, some more obscure – and present a successful formula for keeping users, data and systems secure.
