PILLARS FOR EFFECTIVE CLOUD SECURITY

 Businesses today operate a massive volume of sensitive data and also perform various operations with this data. Data breaches are getting too familiar in today’s time. A successful operation in the cloud demands for diversified mechanisms and procedures compared to an on-premise cloud computing solution. An online analysis done by the Gartner states that- by 2020, 80% of the cloud breaches will be caused due to customer misconfigurations, wrongly-managed credentials, or even insider thefts. However, cloud breaches will not be a result of the cloud provider’s vulnerabilities.

 Operating in a secured cloud-based solution demands for different mechanisms and ways as compared to an on-premise deployment. An on-premise cloud solution, however, will not work effectively in the cloud. Also, the cloud-based infrastructures house several security services that are to be included.

In this sequential cycle, every pillar is dependent on the pillar, just preceding it. Any business organization that follows this methodology is successfully able to create a framework that can support cloud strategies as well as optimize the complete security of the cloud.
