Security Architecture Models for the Cloud

Benefit from the cloud without compromising on security

The cloud has passed crucial milestones

For a wide range of use cases across all industries, the cloud provides outstanding advantages. Hence, it is not a surprise that organizations across all industries are massively migrating to the cloud and this megatrend is expected to remain unbroken.

Just using the cloud for storing and sharing files is vintage.
Nowadays it provides unprecedented capabilities.

Over the past years cloud technologies have passed a vital milestone in terms of technical availability, usability, and costs, enabling new ways of usage.

Using the cloud for making files remotely accessible from everywhere in the world is still relevant but not the only use case anymore.

Due to the huge development steps in cloud technology, storing or hosting applications and services in the cloud is one of the big trends. This enables organizations to reduce complexity in their internal infrastructure while providing easier access to their customers and employees.

So, utilizing the cloud has specific key benefits for organizations, but...

Technological progress always comes with increased risks

Utilizing the cloud instead of on-premises solutions enables organizations to make quick and easy adjustments to their digital infrastructure. But each cloud architecture must be adequately secured. The motto is: As secure as it can get without compromising on usability.

Amongst other things, this refers to:

• Secure deployment of cloud and cloud services for commercial and non-commercial use cases
• Reliable Identity and Access Management in the cloud
• Security for cloud-stored data
• Compliance with the required legal standards

Benefiting from the latest trends in cloud usage can easily result in a lack of security

To fully leverage the unprecedented capabilities the cloud provides you, complete security is key.

Benefiting from the simplicity of using the cloud requires the right balance between security measures and ease of use, ensuring that data and services remain protected without compromising on user convenience.

Get to know how to securely store, access, and use data in the cloud

Data utilization is still the No 1 cloud use case

Organizations across all industries are experiencing a sense of urgency to migrate to the cloud. Within the next 1 to 2 years approximately 70% of workloads will be on the cloud. Any kind of data handling, usage and storage makes the major part of that.

Technological progress always comes with increased risks

Due to the huge development steps cloud technologies have passed in recent years, the cloud is a vital cornerstone of organizations’ digital infrastructures around the globe and in each industry.

Storing, accessing, and using data in the cloud is still one of the most important use cases partially or fully transferred to the cloud.

The benefits are clear... but what about the security of the data?

Treat your data as your crown jewels

Using passwords to protect the access to cloud-stored data is so 2000’s and can’t stand today’s threats. Always think of your data as your most important assets. Once they fall in wrong hands, they can never be fully taken back.

Ransomware and industrial espionage as some prominent examples are just the tip of the iceberg. Also, accidental loss of data and internal misuse can cause massive damage to your data, your business, your reputation.

Make sure your data are fully protected in the cloud

Avoiding threats to your data and reliably protecting them is crucial, plus fulfilling the required compliance and security standards. At the same time, it is important to manage that in an easy way, not slowing down your operations.

With the right cybersecurity solutions this is an easy thing. Even for highly regulated organizations such as Government and Public Services, migrating their data and workloads to the cloud is becoming standard.

Discover effective strategies for significantly reducing your Total Cost of Ownership by utilizing the cloud

Reduction of TCO is one of the top accelerators for embracing cloud adoption

Based on the outstanding advantages that the cloud provides across a wide range of use cases, organizations across all industries are experiencing a sense of urgency to migrate to the cloud.

Due to the substantial advancements cloud technologies have made in recent years, the cloud is a vital cornerstone of digital infrastructures for organizations today.

The undisputed top cloud use case is data protection. The path to achieving complete security for an organization's data varies based on individual needs and can differ for each setup. Variations range from using the cloud as a backup solution, to complete cloud migration of all applications and data.

The overarching advantage shared by all cloud strategies is: The substantial reduction of TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).

Reduced Total Cost of Ownership enabled by the cloud

Utilizing the cloud for data and workload migration provides huge potential for organizations, regardless of the specific cloud architecture that is selected.

When considering costs, cloud usage becomes the pivotal strategy for achieving cost reductions.

How the cloud can significantly reduce your Total Cost of Ownership:

• Reduced costs associated with on-premises solutions such as hardware and facilities
• Staff expenditure optimization:
  • Outsourcing workloads to the cloud releases organizations from paying highly skilled experts
  • Enabling remote collaboration between workforces and project teams that consist of internal and external members
• Flexible up and down-scaling of data storage capacity as needed based on higher scalability without stacking up your on-premises environment
• Easier disaster recovery compared to on-premises workload scenarios

The advantages in terms of costs are clear. But benefiting from reduced costs AND ensuring that data and services remain protected without compromising on user convenience requires effective security measures.

Ensure the success of your cloud journey by selecting the appropriate cloud security architecture model

Start your cloud journey today and benefit from all the advantages available.

By choosing the right methodology and tools, you can make the cloud, as well as data, applications, and services stored or hosted in the cloud, as secure as on-premises. Simultaneously, significantly optimizing your TCO.

This task is simplified with the right cloud security architecture model. Even for highly regulated organizations such as Government and Public Services, migrating data and workloads to the cloud is becoming standard.

Learn how to optimize your TCO while ensuring robust data protection in the cloud, guarding against unauthorized internal and external access.
