Eric Ogren wrote this week on how to address enterprise cloud/SaaS data security issues. He writes that it’s particularly difficult “to secure the new boundaries between the enterprise, the cloud service and the end user while managing dependencies on off-premise infrastructure and privileged operators.” He notes there will be an estimated 75% of U.S. organizations using at least one SaaS service for their business use by year’s end.
Security is a problem for IT departments that we keep hearing about again and again – Ogren’s is an interesting and practical take on the issue. Forrester created a checklist of security requirements for any company hosting/opening APIs via the cloud. It’s crucial to execute “due diligence” and upkeep with cloud infrastructure in order to ensure security.
