Cloud based computing has become a viable alternative for enterprises, due to
the cost saving and deployment capabilities on offer from cloud based providers.
Not only are organisations deploying applications and servers into cloud
environments, but more and more enterprises look to the cloud for data storage
and central maintenance of services. With the storage of data being moved into a
cloud, this presents significant risk to the organisation. However, this can be
effectively managed through identifying and addressing any security threats as a
part of the program release.
Cloud providers typically provide an open platform and it is up to the
organisation to deploy within their framework a secure environment. As cloud
environments are public, there are a number of threats to systems deployed into
a cloud environment that do not exist in a corporate hosting environment.
Determining how to manage these threats are based on the risk profile of the
application and the data stored.
Appsecure can work with your organisation to help identify and rate the security
risk associated with the service to be deployed. We then work with your cloud
provider to ensure a successful and secure deployment. Our team has worked
recently alongside a number of organisations and cloud providers, ensuring that
cloud technology can be adopted in a secure manner.
