Availability coverage by cloud-service providers: Who bears the true cost of a cyber event? paid IBM_ITServices
Even organizations that understand how to design and architect their system for a safe migration to the cloud face a backlog of decades’ worth of applications that don’t necessarily comply with that standard.
Access is another issue that requires rethinking for applications in the cloud. “If you make it too hard, people will forget their passwords and have to reset them,” says Larry Ponemon, founder of the Ponemon Institute, a technology research firm. That can add frustration for workers and partners as well as customers, who may simply take their business elsewhere. If convenience is improved, security could be diminished.
Migrating to the cloud involves a certain level of trust when it comes to a cloud provider’s security controls. But organizations should not be dependent on vendors to provide all necessary controls, or some responsibilities could fall through the cracks. Taking a proactive approach to resilience in the cloud means including cloud-service providers in threat assessment, regularly updating recovery plans with cloud providers and conducting regular backup and failover testing with those providers.
“Enterprises are still gaining an understanding of the shared responsibility model for cybersecurity,” says Kaplan. “Those that lack the technical understanding to identify necessary actions and determine the level of cloud-service provider support can leave themselves more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Multiple parties—the cloud providers, tool vendors, managed-security-service providers—jointly have a role in ensuring the security of data in the public cloud.
Organizations must recognize the extent of their provider’s responsibilities by first understanding their provider’s security operating model and then enforcing a clear view of who is responsible for cloud security among users, developers and anyone who has access.
