Cloud security risks & how to mitigate them

Transitioning to the Cloud Safely and Strategically

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.
