This white paper is intended for Enterprise security architects and executives who need to rapidly understand the risks of moving business-critical data, systems, and applications to external cloud providers. Intel's definition of cloud services and the dynamic security perimeter are presented to help explain three emerging cloud-oriented architectures. Insecure APIs, multi-tenancy, data protection, insider threats, and tiered access control cloud security risks are discussed in depth. To regain control, the white paper from Intel illustrates how a Service Gateway control agent can be used to protect the enterprise perimeter with cloud providers. Various deployment topologies show how the gateway can be used to leverage existing IdM and security event management (SIEM) systems for increased adoption and greater business value.

By Elizabeth White

Janice Taylor-Gaines wrote: I am glad to see Security mentioned in conjunction with cloud computing. In David Scott’s words, everyone needs to be a mini-Security Officer today. I would add that every discussion, for any discipline or environment, should include security front and center. I think Mr. Scott, the author, is right: Most individuals and organizations enjoy Security largely as a matter of luck. For some free insight, check out his blog, “The Business-Technology Weave” – you can Google to it, or search on the site IT Knowledge Exchange which hosts it. Anyone else here reading I.T. WARS?
