In many organizations, outdated applications slow down daily operations and introduce security risks. Modernizing these systems can be difficult, but clear strategies and reliable practices can streamline the effort. Learn how a well-planned modernization journey yields tangible results for both users and the bottom line.
In the cloud computing space, it’s important to understand that using a cloud service provider (CSP) isn’t a “set it and forget it” relationship. The shared responsibility model clearly divides security, compliance, and operational tasks between CSPs and the organizations that use their services. However, nothing solidifies these concepts like seeing them in real-world examples. This article explores three brief case studies—each drawn from a different cloud service model (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS)—to highlight how responsibilities shift across the spectrum.
My wife, Kelly, was a pediatric nurse, having worked in healthcare for over 30 years. I'm biased, but she always got high marks in her profession, from both her peers and from patients for whom she provided care. She provided a level of care that was absolutely critical to ensure patients receive consistent, high-quality treatment across all stages of care. The importance of documentation, communication and a continuity of care was imperative – children’s lives depended on it. But what does continuity of care look like outside the world of healthcare? In the realm of cybersecurity consulting, the principle of continuity is just as vital and plays a pivotal role in safeguarding organizations from evolving cyber threats.
Managing access in the cloud can be stressful. Who should be granted access? What if credentials get exposed? Should you err on the side of security or usability? If you work in Identity and Access Management (IAM), you are likely familiar with these stressors. But there’s good news: Following a few key principles can simplify navigating IAM while at the same time strengthening your organization’s security.
