Everything you ever wanted to know about security policy management, and much more.
As we continue to hear the command “To the Cloud!” it seems that the cloud is not quite as resilient and secure as many were hoping.
Risks exist when relying on third parties to keep your business running and your information secure. So, you need to help minimize the chance of you or the business getting burned because of someone else’s lackadaisical approach to security.

When it comes to cloud security oversights, I especially love this recent ZDNet headline: Trust in cloud security at all-time low: Execs still betting on the cloud. It’s a great example of just how disconnected IT and security are from management – and management from reality – when it comes to this critical area of business. It even seems that lawyers are calling the shots more than CISOs are today – often relying solely on contracts and SLAs.
If it were only that simple…Scary stuff. It’s job security for us all so I guess we shouldn’t complain.
