Build a Cloud Security Strategy
Secure the cloud by considering its unique challenges.
Book This Workshop
The lack of a good strategy for security in the cloud results in:
- Inadequate visibility into the environment: how many SaaS products have staff bought without consulting IT?
- A security plan designed for on-premises offerings only, and therefore, does not include considerations for the unique risks of the cloud.
- A limited understanding of how traditional threats look different in the cloud.
A formalized cloud security strategy process, using Info-Tech’s methodology, results in:
- Generation of a comprehensive cloud security strategy and roadmap that highlights how the different service models (SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS) present different security challenges and offers resolutions to these challenges.
- Tested and proven rationalization and prioritization methodologies, ensuring the strategy you generate is not only the one the organization needs, but the one the organization will support.
