Three Hot Cloud Security Topics from @CloudExpo Silicon Valley
Two weeks ago (November 3-5), I attended the Cloud Expo Silicon Valley as a speaker, where I presented on the security and privacy due diligence requirements for cloud solutions.
Cloud security is a topical issue for every CIO, CISO, and technology buyer. Decision-makers are always looking for insights on how to mitigate the security risks of implementing and using cloud solutions. Based on the presentation topics covered at the conference, as well as the general discussions heard between sessions, I wanted to share some of my observations on emerging trends. As cyber security serves as a foundation and necessary defense for customer and cloud solutions, cyber becomes more and more commoditized. The real impact is how do we deliver a confidence or trust to customers and their customer journey with our organizations.
Convergence of Compliance and Security Best Practices to Establish "Due Diligence"
Due diligence is the new imperative driving the development and practices of cyber security practices, incidence response procedures, and business planning. Often, cloud computing challenges traditional due diligence practices because it adds a layer of complexity to the management of user identities, data ownership, etc., as virtual and physical implications are interwoven. Cloud service providers are working to address unique security concerns and gaps presented to encourage greater innovation and use. Cloud customers (organizations) may still be struggling to adapt their effective security measures for cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT). Given the discussions for cloud and IoT, compliance, governance, and risk management framework(s) may continue to present new lessons learned over the coming months.
Proactive Data Protection
From avoiding vendor lock-in to addressing Safe Harbor, companies are interested in proactively mitigating current and future risks. Getting visibility into shadow IT, tokenization, encryption best practices have all become critical for laying the foundation to due diligence regarding data protection. In some discussions, socialized marketing brings about new challenges in sharing data between internal and external customers, bricks and mortar and new business partners in the cloud and IoT ecosystems. By 2016, data protection and ownership and related privacy protections juxtaposed to new revenue stream issues are expected to take center stage as the biggest transformation that CSPs need to address.
IoT = Cloud + Big Data + Analytics
As IoT, social media, and third-party services combine and gather additional momentum, CSPs will be dealing with an unprecedented influx of data to their enterprise as well as exceptional insights into collaborative and competitive exchanges for customers and businesses. Cloud computing on-demand, scalable, pay-as-you-go compute and storage capacity means that having a plan for the business mission is essential unless your organization wants to drown in its own data (or your customers' data). Enabling enterprise-grade cyber security and critical controls is inherent to delivering value to internal organizational mission as well as essential to delivering customer value to keep your organization relevant and in sync with those using your service. In addition, this lifecycle of use and practicality is speeding up as more and more organizations are demanding and implementing aspects of cloud, IoT and analytics. It was clear to me, why CIOs and CISOs are staying up at night.
With cloud computing just settling into organizations, Cloud Expo made me realize that the IoT strategy needs to be outlined sooner rather than later. Keep in mind as you do, it will increasingly be important to prevent loss of data and protect the organization from a legal, business, and reputational perspective.

Cloud computing is now being embraced by a majority of enterprises of all sizes. Yesterday's debate about public vs. private has transformed into the reality of hybrid cloud: a recent survey shows that 74% of enterprises have a hybrid cloud strategy. Meanwhile, 94% of enterprises are using some form of XaaS - software, platform, and infrastructure as a service.
With major technology companies and startups seriously embracing Cloud strategies, now is the perfect time to attend and learn what is going on, contribute to the discussions, and ensure that your enterprise is on the right path to Digital Transformation.
Every Global 2000 enterprise in the world is now integrating cloud computing in some form into its IT development and operations. Midsize and small businesses are also migrating to the cloud in increasing numbers.
