Cloud Security: A Work In Progress

  • Recent research by consulting firm KPMG and software giant Oracle notes that as business leaders digitally transform their operations and move what’s left of on-premise systems to the cloud, adequate security controls are all too often an afterthought.
  • The basics of cloud security are still not understood by many organizations, and worsening confusion over the shared responsibility security model is a pivotal contributor to the readiness gap.
