Balancing Speed and Security in the Cloud

On the cloud, you can ship new products faster than ever before. Complex hardware and software services, from mass storage to machine learning algorithms, are available to businesses on-demand. In an environment of rapid development, security is often easily overlooked, only considered retroactively or when it is too late. The primary goals of a secure cloud system are to: • Enforce an organisation’s security policies, including risks arising from data privacy, financial regulations and internal risk assessments

To achieve these goals, security concerns are considered as early as possible in the development lifecycle, catching issues quickly and minimising delays.
