Hello Everyone, In continuation to my previous blog about the security, in this blog what all aspects should be kept in mind while planning for cloud adoption and before migration what all things should be kept in mind while selecting the cloud service provider. Since we already aware that security plays very important role for cloud adoption and very carefully we need to work on the security architecture to meet the current customer requirements.
Mostly when we plan to adopt the cloud there are various business drivers as well, so mostly it will like offering services to end customers or users and infrastructure is being opened to internet and when infrastructure is exposed over internet, security comes into picture and carefully we have plan the security framework to prevent the attacks like DoS, DDoS etc.
So moving forward one should have very clear picture about the current security picture of the customer environment and how to meet those customer requirements to adopt the cloud.
To meet the customer requirements, one can think on below points to plan how we can select the relevant cloud service provider:
- Will the target cloud service provider able to meet the compliance requirements.
- How much cloud service provider is flexible with customizations in security requirements.
- How much automations are possible in the cloud security?
- What kind of support we can get from cloud service provider to meet the modern day cloud security challenges.
- Who are the security vendors that are providing support to cloud service provider.
- How much cloud service provider is innovative in security framework in introducing new security features in the services.
This is not the complete list but covers pretty much how one can assess the cloud service provider.
I hope these guidelines will help you to enhance your knowledge.
Thanks for reading the blog.
