Cloud Security, IT Security, Cybersecurity: How To Move IT To The Board Room

Posted by Jay Bartlett August 10, 2017 2:18 pm Categories: Cyber Security. Tags: convergence, corporate security, Cybersecurity, executive commitment, IT security.

Innovations in cloud technology have begun to filter across industries, while cybersecurity remains a pressing and timely issue in this era of hacking. While the topic of cloud security may have a lower budget priority to I.T. organizations than overall IT security, the convergence of topics is here to stay. Since the overarching trend of outsourcing to Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) for specific applications, platform services, or infrastructure has become commonplace, the intersection of cloud security and organizational security has merged. I would argue that the intersection of cloud and enterprise/IT security has become a vital component of a company’s overall cybersecurity posture, and as such, requires careful monitoring.
