Thinking back,
can you imagine and then enumerate the separation in capabilities between a
traditional data center environment and the cloud computing data center
environment, and can you imagine what additional risk are brought to bear in
the cloud computing environment? Granted, it is possible that you are actually
in a position of experiencing fewer risks by consuming cloud services, but the
cloud is simply an accelerator.
If you are doing poorly and you've began to consume services in the cloud,
you'll do poorly at a faster rate. If you have good governance,
that good governance will also be accelerated in the cloud.
Think also, where is your organization on the Zero Trust journey?
The conversation is the most important part of it, talking
it through and getting to a point where you can start an
architecture. Start small,
start iterative, and Zero Trust will become part of your
environment. Up next, join me as we consider a secure data center
design and the supporting controls of that design.
