Best Practices for Securely Moving Workloads Into the Cloud

Organizations are increasingly moving their workloads to the cloud to achieve greater agility, flexibility, and cost savings. In fact, spending on cloud infrastructure services will grow from $39.5 billion in 2019 to $63 billion through 2021 [according to Gartner]. However, when transitioning to the cloud, it’s critical to understand that cloud security is a shared responsibility between the cloud service provider and the customer. The cloud service provider typically secures the core infrastructure and services while securing operating systems, platforms, and data remains the responsibility of the customer. As your organization formulates a cloud security strategy, it is important to remember that the #1 cause of today’s breaches is privileged access abuse. And it takes just one single compromised privileged credential to impact millions of data records and result in millions of dollars in fines. To limit their exposure to these attacks, organizations need to move to an identity-centric approach based on a Zero Trust model: “never trust, always verify, enforce least privilege”. This concept should be extended to the organization’s workforce, as well as partners, privileged IT admins, and outsourced IT.
