9. Your Journey To A Secure Cloud
Friday 10th June 2015

10. Organisations need to be able to confidently
evaluate the impact of a move or procurement
of a cloud solution and to successfully manage
software, platforms and infrastructure once in
the cloud.
need

11. Speaker: Ross Spelman
With an in-depth knowledge and understanding of enterprise risk
management and the importance of sound internal controls, I
help companies to assess, identify and manage risk. Through the
development and evaluation of business and technology
standards, procedures and controls I help organisations keep
their information safe, on premise or in the cloud….

12. The total market size for cloud computing
is expected to reach $555 billion by 2020.
Allied Market Research July 2014

13. Global SaaS software revenues are forecasted
to reach $106B in 2016, increasing 21% over
projected 2015 spending levels.
A Goldman Sachs study published in January
2015 had already projected that spending on
cloud computing infrastructure and platforms
will grow at a 30% CAGR through to 2018
compared with 5% growth for the overall
enterprise IT.

14. Importance for Businesses
• Achieve economies of scale – increase volume output or productivity with less people. Overall
cost per unit, project or product drops significantly.
• Reduce spending on technology infrastructure. Maintain easy access to your information with
minimal upfront spending. Pay as you go (weekly, quarterly or yearly), based on demand.
• Globalise your workforce inexpensively. Users worldwide can access the cloud, provided they
have an Internet connection.
• Streamline processes. Get more work done in less time with less people.
• Reduce capital costs. No need to spend big money on hardware, software or licensing fees.
• Improve accessibility. Access anytime, anywhere, making you more available.
• Monitor projects more effectively. Stay within budget and ahead of completion cycle times.
• Less personnel training is needed. It takes fewer people to do more work on a cloud, with a
minimal learning curve on hardware and software issues.
• Minimise licensing software. Scale up and down without the need to buy expensive software
licenses or programs.
• Improve flexibility. You can change direction without serious “people” or “financial” issues at
stake.

15. Importance for Businesses

16. Businesses need to reduce risk

17. Overview of Cloud Assurance
By gaining assurance on how a Cloud Service Provider is treating risk
and by verifying the standard of their security controls, systems and
practices, a cloud consumer can build trust.
The areas to assess in order gain Cloud Service Provider assurance are:
• Business Context & Requirements
• Market Performance Analysis & Forecast
• Cloud Service Provider Business Analysis & Verification
• Cloud Service Provider Security & Verification

18. Business Context and Requirements

19. Market Analysis and Performance

24. Looking at the market just tells a small part of the story……• Through the utilisation of PAAS companies are
launching 80% more apps per year with a 70%
accelerated time to market and a 75-85% reduction
in infrastructure costs, resulting in a 520% return on
investment.
• PAAS reduces time to software-launch by integrating
with IaaS.

34. Metrics to Assess a CSP from a Business perspective
If a cloud provider's pricing or promises seem too good to be true, they probably are.
Assessing a Cloud Service Provider Business

35. The company filed for US Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2013
Introduced in January 2012, Exec.Cloud was designed with SMBs in mind. Two years
after its release, Symantec realised that two features that they felt critical to its success
were missing: content-sharing features and mobile capabilities.
Rather than investing in the development of those features, Symantec felt it was a
smarter move to focus on its other backup product rather than fix Exec.Cloud. This
decision wasn’t without repercussion for SMBs who signed up for Symantec’s BE.Cloud.

36. Differences

37. Differences

38. • Five layers of governance for IT are Network, Storage, Server, Services and
Applications
• On premise - organisation has control over Storage, Server, Services and Applications;
vendor and organisation can have shared control over Networks
• SaaS model - most layers are controlled by the vendor
• PaaS model - Applications and Services are controlled by both while Servers, Storage
and Network controlled by the vendor
• IaaS model - Applications are controlled by the organisation, Services controlled by
both while the Network, Storage and Server controlled by the vendor

67. INTRODUCTION – CYBER RESILIENCE
Cyber resilience is not just information security
 More focus on network connectivity & the internet
 Recognition that we can’t always prevent incidents
The need for balance
 Prevent, detect & correct
 People, process & technology
 Risks & opportunities
Characteristics needed for information
 Confidentiality, integrity & availability
 Authentication & non-repudiation
67

68. INFORMATION & VALUE
 Your precious information
 Customer/client data
 Operational data
 Market data
 Operational documents & insight
 Confidential data & IP
 Enabled by IT systems (which can
be hacked or compromised) – &
now critical to success

69. BEYOND IT
THE HUMAN FACTOR
 Organizational value resides in data plus
people
 (information + intelligence = knowledge & ability)
 The “system” is technology plus people
 People/behaviours cause most vulnerabilities
 Narrow focus on IT won’t align strategy,
operations & people
 Need to look beyond IT security – to cyber
resilience

70. WILL YOUR INFORMATION
BE COMPROMISED?
 The risks are high.
 73% of large organizations suffered from infection
by viruses or malicious software in the past year
(BIS, 2014 Information Security Breaches Survey)
 37.3 million users experience phishing
attacks in 2013
(Kapersky Lab)
 95% of security incidents involve human
(IBM 2014 Cyber Security Intelligence Index report)
 50% of users open emails and click on phishing
links with the first hour
(Verizon 2015 data breach investigations report)
The U.S. Government Is Under (Cyber) Attack
The State Department confirmed on Monday that hackers
breached its unclassified email system. The White House,
the Postal Service, & NOAA have also been compromised in
recent weeks.

71.  Obama: We have long known about 'significant
vulnerabilities'
 The Office of Personnel Management is notifying 4
million current & former federal government
employees that their personally identifiable
information may have been exposed by a breach of its
IT systems that the government discovered in April
 Cybercrime costs Irish economy €630m a year (RTE
2014)
 Some 62,500 Supervalu customers at risk over
breach(2013) 71
RISK!

72. RISKS TO VALUE
Loss of corporate reputation & customer
trust
Financial loss & reduced productivity
Regulatory fines
Reduced competitive advantage
through IP theft
(Damaged personal reputations)

73. INTRODUCING CYBER RESILIENCE
Cyber resilience is about
keeping data safe, but
critically…
 It’s about keeping the
value tied
to that data safe
 It’s about how you
minimise damage & come
through an attack or
security failure
 It’s about how you
prevent, detect, respond &

74. BARRIERS TO CYBER RESILIENCE?
 Lack of awareness (board level down)
 Silo thinking (“it’s an IT problem”)
 Narrow focus on regulatory compliance, not risk
 Confusion about what “good” looks like
 Cyber resilience demands a “whole system”
view (technology & people)
 Cyber resilience has to be part of your
organisational culture…
 This is why you need RESILIA
