AGILE SECURITY ARCHITECTURE
FOR THE CLOUD
O
Overview
Cloud computing has been widely adopted globally
and is expected to grow even further in coming
years. Business agility is undoubtedly the main
benefit and key driver behind enterprise cloud
adoption because IT resources can be acquired
and deployed more quickly. Once deployed, these
resources can be increased or decreased as needed
to meet demand.
According to RightScale’s 2017 State of the Cloud
Report, 95% of the report’s respondents indicated
that they are using the cloud. Adoption is noticeable
across all cloud platforms, both public and private, and
what’s more organizations utilize multiple vendors
while building their hybrid cloud environments.

At the same time, Gartner states that security
continues to be the biggest inhibitor of cloud
adoption. This is not a surprise considering the fact
that cloud services are shared, always connected,
and dynamic environments by nature, making them
a challenge when it comes to security.
Moving computing resources and data to a
public cloud environment means that security
responsibilities become shared between you and
your cloud provider.
While infrastructure protection is delivered by the
provider, you want and need the ability to control
your own data, keep it private, and protect all of your
cloud assets, all while maintaining compliance with
regulatory mandates. ◊
