According to Gartner, cloud adoption will only accelerate as we move into 2021, with cloud services revenue climbing more than 19%. However, all of this change creates a totally different set of work streams and security challenges.
Organizations must assess what controls cloud services providers offer in order to understand the security risks and challenges.
Security is only as strong as the layer below it, which is why it's important to have trusted security technologies rooted in hardware for cloud.
Some cloud companies are taking action to create services that help assess security and risk.
Look at Microsoft's security best practices for its Azure IaaS product to understand what responsibilities customers must bear-these policies are fairly consistent across public cloud providers: the burden is on the user to ensure security practices are followed.
By considering the above tips and understanding how hardware security impacts cloud adoption, you can better prepare your team to deploy and maintain cloud services successfully.
