Public clouds have fundamentally changed the way organizations build, operate, and manage applications. Security for applications in the cloud is composed of hundreds of configuration parameters and is vastly different from security in traditional data centers. According to Gartner, “Through 2020, at least 95% of cloud breaches will be due to customer misconfiguration, mismanaged credentials or insider theft, not cloud provider vulnerabilities”1. The uniqueness of cloud requires that security teams rethink classic security concepts and adopt approaches that address serverless, dynamic, and distributed cloud infrastructure. This includes rethinking security practices across asset management, compliance, change management, issue investigation, and incident response, as well as training and education. We interviewed several security experts and asked them how public cloud transformation has changed their cloud security and compliance responsibilities. In this e-book, we will share the top

In today’s fast-moving, competitive environment, companies are migrating to Microsoft Azure to increase their agility and decrease their time to market. While the payoff for adopting Azure can be great, many are finding it difficult to reach the cloud and business success they originally hoped for. It’s common for organizations investing in Azure to encounter numerous roadblocks early in their cloud journey, including monthly bills exponentially higher than anticipated and underutilized resources. For organizations looking to reach cloud maturity—where cost and performance are optimized, security and compliance best practices are established, and one’s environment is governed by policy-driven automation—gaining control of their Azure infrastructure is crucial. The goal of this eBook is to help with just that. For those of considering Azure or who are currently in the migration phase of your Azure cloud journey, we offer insight and expert best practices to make the early stages of your

A new NPR/Marist poll reveals that one in five jobs in the U.S. is held by a worker under contract. In fact, independent contractors could make up half of the entire workforce in the U.S. within the next decade. More and more organizations have begun to see contractors and suppliers as valuable business partners intrinsic to driving service and product innovation. For many companies, especially those operating in highly regulated industries, managing compliance in-house for all of these suppliers can be burdensome. But the cost of non-compliance — in the form of penalties, fines, productivity losses, settlement costs, and inefficiencies — is ruinous. This white paper will discuss: • The hidden costs of ignoring contractor management • Best practices towards holistic compliance and governance • The cost of different contractor management systems • How to get the highest ROI in your supply chain

Financial services organizations operate under a host of regulatory standards. This makes sense, as the assets and information managed by these firms are valuable, sensitive, and targeted by sophisticated cyber attackers daily. Compounding these challenges is the large volume of personally identifiable information (PII) that financial organizations handle regularly. PII is subject to many compliance regulations, notably the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which regulates not only the processing of personal data, including PII, relating to individuals in the EU, for also any organization that processes personal data of EU residents. For US banking consumers, Section 5 (Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices) of the Federal Trade Commission Act and numerous state regulations enforce basic consumer protections, which financial organizations must also uphold.
