About this session: Cloud security remains a top priority. We'll summarizes the problems, recommended processes and new product types to address 3 key issues...

"Cloud security is still security and the cloud is part of every business. It isn't just someone else's computer, it's a hugely complex interconnected set of services." #GartnerSEC

Creating a new business model means taking risks. #GartnerSEC

Remember, not all clouds are the same - don't treat them as if they are. #GartnerSEC

"As you move through your environments, you have different sets of responsibilities." #GartnerSEC #Cloud

"Federate as many of your identity sources together as you can." #GartnerSEC #Cloud #Security #cloudsecurity

"Start to have business leadership take responsibility for some of your organization's security - including #data." #GartnerSEC

"Most breaches are self-inflicted by configuration errors ... When you can't explain it or you can't document it, it's quite hard to secure it." #GartnerSEC #Security #cloudsecurity #Cloud

"Balance out your underlying architectures." #GartnerSEC #cloudsecurity #Cloud

"We do have to think about models differently. Take this back to your organizations and track which ones you will use and where you will use them." #GartnerSEC

Key issue take-away: Align security with the underlying architecture and business criticality. One size does not fit all. #GartnerSEC

What are the enterprise security enhancements after #cloud? #GartnerSEC #cloudsecurity

Key issue take-away: #cloudsecurity capabilities are likely newer and more versatile. Apply these to your on-premises systems where suitable.
