Cloud computing security has the potential to surpass the levels of information security that are possible today. That, at least, is the contention of security and virtualization experts from EMC’s RSA security division and virtualization solutions provider VMware, another EMC subsidiary.
Top security experts from the two companies recently released a new security brief that asserts that the cloud presents a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make information security better, faster, cheaper, more efficient and less intrusive.
“To accomplish this, however, a direct collaboration between the CIO and CSO is needed,” Eric Baize, senior director of EMC’s product security office, told CIOZone. “Today, in too many instances, the CIO drives technology innovation, and the security reviews and audits are perceived as slowing innovation. With virtualization and cloud, there is an opportunity to bring technology innovation to both the CIO and the CSO by drastically changing the way security is designed and implemented in the enterprise.”
Here are five actionable best practices recommended by Baize and his co-authors for organizations faced with the challenges of securing identities and data in the cloud.
