Five Factors InfoSec Teams Should Consider When Deploying to the Cloud

A recent survey of cloud users ranging from cloud beginners to the more experienced cloud users report that the challenges of cloud such as security, governance, and compliance declined as cloud maturity increased.  They also brought to mention that there are five factors that all InfoSec departments should consider when thinking about cloud deployments:

Clear organizational policies: have a clear policy about the security responsibilities.

Access controls: know the details around access controls in the cloud.

Protect data in transit: ask detailed questions about data in transit.

Data protection in a database: how does your cloud vendor handle data protection?


System monitoring: leverage a system that implements fill logging, monitoring, archiving, and retention of operational and service data through multiple channels for both system event logs and custom monitoring parameters.
