8. Analyzing Cloud Security
• Some key issues:
Trust, multi-tenancy, encryption, key
management compliance
• Clouds are massively complex systems can be
reduced to simple primitives that are replicated
thousands of times and common functional units
• Cloud security is a tractable problem
There are both advantages and challenges

9. Balancing Threat Exposure and Cost
Effectiveness
• Private clouds may have less threat exposure than
community or hosted clouds which have less
threat exposure than public clouds.
• Massive public clouds may be more cost effective
than large community clouds which may be more
cost effective than small private clouds.

10. General Security Advantages
• Democratization of security capabilities
• Shifting public data to a external cloud
reduces the exposure of the internal
sensitive data
• Forcing functions to add security controls
• Clouds enable automated security
management
• Redundancy / Disaster Recovery

11. General Security Challenges
• Trusting vendor’s security model
• Customer inability to respond to audit findings
• Obtaining support for investigations
• Indirect administrator accountability
• Proprietary implementations can’t be
examined
• Loss of physical control

12. • Geo-location of sensitive data
• Inability to deploy security services (e.g. scanning)
• Risk with shared computing platform (multi-tenant)
• Data confidentiality
• Access via internet – untrusted
• Cloud vendors for the most part non-committal on security
• Company data on 3rd party machine
• Compliance lacking – inability to satisfy auditors
• Vendors not up to speed from a guidance and auditing perspective
• Inability to perform forensic investigation

13. “We have to accept what we all know to be elemental -
that taking a defensive position can, at best, only limit
losses.
And we need gains."
Peter F. Drucker

14. • Cloud Computing is real and transformational
• Cloud Computing can be secured but also can carry
increased risk due to aggregation of assets
• Broad governance approach needed
• Tactical fixes needed
• Combination of updating existing best practices and
creating completely new best practices
• Common sense not optional
