Cloud Governance: Driving Success and Security in the Cloud

Background

Is cloud governance an integral part of your cloud computing strategy? A robust cloud governance posture helps you run your business well and keep it safe, offering a level of protection against a number of avoidable risks: data breaches, intellectual property theft, damage to brand and reputation, and financial loss, as well as the risk of being out of compliance with mandates like PCI and HIPAA.

Creating effective cloud governance is a two-step process: (1) understanding the four pillars of cloud governance: visibility, configuration, operations, and risk, and (2) developing best practices for continuously monitoring, assessing, and optimizing each of these.
