Category 1: Public infrastructure as a service
Overview: Many companies deploy their own applications, websites and other workloads in public infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) solutions because it allows for rapid access to infrastructure on demand and can scale rapidly.
Risk: The security that comes with public IaaS service is not complete as it fails to protect workloads - exposing the company to compliance failures, brand damage, fines, legal liability and data theft.
Businesses are nothing less than addicted to the speed and flexibility of using cloud-based software and infrastructure. However, there's persistent confusion about what cloud security technologies businesses need, and the risks those technologies mitigate.
In this slideshow, Carson Sweet, CEO and co-founder of CloudPassage, highlights a categorical review of cloud security needs associated with the use of public infrastructure as a service (IaaS), software as a service (SaaS) and governance of cloud services. This slideshow will help users navigate what cloud security technologies apply to their businesses.
