How CISOs Can Balance Security And Business Agility In The Cloud
HelpNet Security, Monday, February 17th, 2025
In this Help Net Security interview, Natalia Belaya, CISO at Cloudera, discusses common misconceptions about cloud security, the balance between protection and business agility, and overlooked risks that CISOs should prioritize.
Belaya also offers practical strategies for integrating cloud-native security solutions and mitigating misconfigurations at scale.
What key security principles should enterprises follow when migrating to the cloud, particularly for hybrid and multi-cloud environments?
One of the biggest misconceptions about cloud migrations is assuming that security is built-in by default. Many organizations move to hyperscalers like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure believing they inherit full or near full security protection as these platforms are certified. In reality, cloud security migration should follow a shared responsibility model that is clearly understood. They need to know exactly where cloud providers' security ends and where their responsibility begins.
