Cloud Security

Cloud-based applications, also referred to as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, are commonplace in today’s enterprise world. For example, applications like Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box provide ways for businesses to quickly and easily provision data storage and file sharing infrastructures.

The Data Is Yours, The Application & Infrastructure Isn’t

Traditionally, organizations operated in environments they had full ownership of their applications, data, and infrastructures. In today’s cloud-based environment, however, many organizations that utilize SaaS applications that run in the cloud still own their data, but do not own their applications and infrastructures.

This paradigm shift of technological operations requires organizations to think differently about how they approach security. Specific cloud-based security initiatives are now a requirement for organizations who choose to run their businesses in the cloud.
