Best practices to use traditional and emerging security and compliance solutions to succeed in migration to the cloud

As organizations move more workloads into cloud environments, cloud security is becoming seemingly challenging for security professionals. Additionally, there are several options for security controls in the cloud, ranging from vendor solutions to cloud-native offerings from the providers themselves.

The new whitepaper authored by Dave Shackleford of the SANS Institute focuses on the current state of cloud security and offers specific recommendations for security best practices on how to succeed in migration to cloud.

• Moving to cloud often means a hybrid cloud model
• Mapping and merging existing internal security controls to new cloud security controls
• Auditing and monitoring of cloud IaaS/PaaS configurations and policies
• The role of containers and container security in hybrid cloud deployments
• Security-oriented APIs for DevOps, orchestration and security automation
• Avoiding silos and “point solutions” that increase complexity for security teams
