Cloud Migration Security Guide: Challenges And Best Practices
Tierpoint, Friday, August 1st, 2025
Whether you're shifting from one cloud to another or moving out of your on-premises environment, cloud migration projects can be beneficial to your organization in many ways.
With the right public cloud provider-such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud-companies can optimize their IT spend, performance, and flexibility all at once.
Cloud platforms can offer robust security features, too. However, keep in mind that neither on-premises nor cloud environments are immune to vulnerabilities. Plus, migrating to the cloud doesn't mean that cybersecurity becomes the cloud provider's sole responsibility. That's why enhancing security measures is the No. 1 priority for IT leaders, according to TierPoint's 2025 Technology & IT Modernization Report.
Understanding key cloud migration security risks is an important part of keeping your organization safe during and after your transition. We'll cover some key steps to ensure safety in the cloud.
