Risk Management & Cloud Security February 19, Define the cloud ecosystem Business use of cloud services Cloud service risks Governance of the cloud – critical policies, procedures & controls Third-party management considerations for the cloud Agenda
Risk Management & Cloud Security February 19, DEFINE THE CLOUD ECOSYSTEM
Risk Management & Cloud Security February 19, Define the Cloud Ecosystem Cloud Computing: Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models. Source: NIST Special Publication The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing ( )

Risk Management & Cloud Security February 19, Just Imagine 2011 Digital Universe Study: Extracting Value from Chaos It will take over 132 billion 64GB iPads to hold all of the world’s electronic data by 2015? Placing that many 64GB iPads end-to-end, it would go around the world over 790 times. You could create two stacks of that many 64GB iPads that would reach the moon and a 3 rd stack that would be 129,606 miles high. That many 64GB iPads would cost $92.76 trillion dollars.
Risk Management & Cloud Security February 19, BUSINESS USE OF CLOUD SERVICES
