Cloud technology, for many years, enticed agencies looking for savings and efficiencies. Organizations pursued \u201ccloud-first\u201d policies that migrated data and applications away from onsite infrastructure and into the control, at least in part, of cloud service providers. While the cloud offered promising advantages, some agencies encountered unexpected cost challenges along the way. And lately, malicious actors have gotten exceptionally good at exploiting cloud vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There isn\u2019t one way to secure your cloud platform, unfortunately. You need a holistic, Zero Trust approach that combines security controls with cyber policies and procedures. Strong encryption and access rules, automated updates, clear visibility and detailed incident response plans are all critical. Knowing who\u2019s responsible for what should go without saying. And repatriating data \u2014 bringing it back on premises, for example \u2014 is often a commonsense answer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAgencies have to comply with stringent regulations \u2026 so that means they need a really robust [security] framework, all while managing the complexities of the cloud environment,\u201d said Garrett Lee, Regional Vice President for Public Sector in Broadcom\u2019s Enterprise Security Group. \u201cCloud, you know, solves some problems, but it also creates some others.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this video interview, Lee explores both the opportunities that cloud computing offers and how to confront its security challenges. Topics include:\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n
