"We discuss it in a roundtable discussion with experts from Conscia, PQR, Tesorion, Thales, and Upwind Security. It is clear that IT players have their work cut out for them when it comes to cloud security. It is a layered environment, often complex and dependent on third parties. There are all kinds of advantages to moving to the cloud, especially for SMEs. It is therefore a good idea to equip yourself with all the necessary information."
"Existing cloud users also need to think carefully, because the cloud, and certainly its security, requires critical scrutiny. Organizations are used to questioning their own IT teams about security measures, but the same should apply to security within the cloud. In practice, this is not always the case, as we noticed from the discussion with the participants in our conversation."
"In the security landscape, people are the weakest link in securing systems, observes Andre Honders, Strategic Architect at PQR. At the same time, those same people know better than anyone which systems keep their organization alive when things go wrong. According to Erik de Jong, Chief Research Officer at Tesorion, organizations must be able to explain which processes and systems are most important to their business operations."
Cloud environments are layered, complex, and often dependent on multiple third parties, requiring organizations to gather detailed vendor information and scrutinize security continuously. Moving to the cloud offers many advantages, especially for SMEs, but existing users must reassess security practices and vendor responsibilities. People are frequently the weakest security link, yet they know which systems are vital during incidents. Organizations must identify and prioritize critical processes and systems to make informed trade-offs between strict lockdowns and ease of use. Security measures must be workable to avoid circumvention, and the balance among convenience, protection, and cost must be precise.
