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 Maureen O'Gara

CloudNinja wrote: I found a great video on this topic which gives a framework of questions to evaluate if you should go to the Cloud and how to assess whether to go IaaS, or PaaS, have a public cloud, a private cloud or a hybrid solution [regardless of who is providing the cloud i.e. Amazon, SalesForce, Windows Azure, etc.] “Bridging the Gap from On-Premises to the Cloud” by Yousef Khalidi: thoughts? hope that helps, -cn
