Whether you use only one application in the cloud or you've
shifted your entire infrastructure there, your
security needs to cover your entire infrastructure — public, private,
cloud-based, and traditional. But as companies mix on-site data centers with
vendor-provided cloud services, they often fail to adjust their data security
accordingly. So says a new study from the SANS Institute, which found that fewer
than a third of organizations have a strategy that describes how their
traditional and cloud computing models work together, which data and
applications to send to the cloud and which to keep in-house, and how to
establish appropriate safeguards for each external cloud provider.
Respondents said they had a hard time
creating a data security strategy, in part because they lacked visibility into
cloud provider practices, and also because cloud providers didn't cooperate
enough in supporting the customers’ security technology.
Xantrion can help you establish
appropriate security policies both on premise and in the cloud. We can also help
you choose vendors that are happy to be transparent about their own security
practices, because that's who we choose to do business with.
