Cloud Migration Alone Is Not Enough For Security: Understanding The Risks And Mitigation Strategies
Architecture and Governance, Friday, April 12th, 2024
Within a few years, all solutions and applications will be shifted from on-premises environments to the cloud. Merely transferring servers to the cloud does not enhance the security of the applications.
This is because cloud service providers (CSP) follow a shared responsibility model, where the responsibility for the security 'of the cloud' lies with the cloud providers and the responsibility for the security 'in the cloud' falls on the customers. According to research, user misconfigurations are responsible for 95% of security breaches in the cloud. The security of the cloud platform relies heavily on how consumers configure and utilize it.
