I just had a chance to read this article at DarkReading….it enumerates the following six common security mistakes found with businesses while adopting to Cloud infrastructure based services :
- Mistake #1: Assuming the cloud is less secure than your data center.
- Mistake #2: Not verifying, testing, or auditing the security of your cloud-based service provider.
- Mistake #3: Failing to vet your cloud provider’s viability as a business.
- Mistake #4: Assuming you’re no longer responsible for securing data once it’s in the cloud.
- Mistake #5: Putting insecure apps in the cloud and expecting that to make them more secure.
- Mistake #6: Having no clue that your business units are already using some cloud-based services.
The list is very much focused to the business aspects of security not the technological pitfalls. You may take a detailed look at the DarkReading post right here.
Coincidently, let’s not ignore the six “Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security” …it is right here.
