Transiting to the Cloud Safely ans Strategically
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Even though the cloud is promoted as
more secure than ever today, companies
are experiencing an increasing number
of data breaches.
Why the apparent contradiction?
Often, cloud customers lack a
comprehensive understanding of cloud
architectures and who is responsible for
securing their data. Before organizations
embark on their cloud adoption journey,
they must therefore gain a strategic
understanding of cloud benefits, cloud
architectures/infrastructure/services,
and risks as well as best practices and
technologies for safeguarding data in
the cloud.
This white paper looks at cloud security
challenges from the perspective of both
Cloud Service Providers and customers
and explains how cloud security training
and certification can help organizations
protect data and meet regulatory
demands to ensure data privacy. It
also shows individual cybersecurity
practitioners how cloud security training
and certification can expand their
influence and grow their careers.
