ROADMAP TO CLOUD SUCCESS

It is undeniable that many organisations start their journey to the cloud with cost optimisation as the primary goal. However, they soon realise that beyond costsavings there’s a plethora of benefits that they can gain, key among which is the capability to drive innovation.

The shift to the cloud enables enterprises, no matter the size or industry, to develop novel ways to bring products and services to market much faster.

Over the last few years, the cloud has evolved from being an industry buzzword to a catalyst for digital transformation. Cloud is enabling a whole host of innovations, enabling organisations to thrive and stay competitive amid the increasingly digital ecosystem. However, while the shift to the cloud presents boundless opportunities, it is not without its challenges.

According to recent industry studies, organisations often face the challenge of having to deal with misconfigured cloud platforms, which poses big security threats. Such bottlenecks are often attributed to the lack of cloud security talents within enterprises today. In fact, a report by US-based cloud computing firm Logicworks noted that 86 percent of IT decision-makers believe that the shortage of talent is slowing down their cloud initiatives.

This highlights why it is imperative for organisations to ensure that their security teams have the right talents that will enable them to efficiently and securely harness the value of the cloud.

To help modern enterprises cope with the growing challenges and provide IT teams with the right skills and knowledge, global information security training and security certification SANS Institute has launched a robust cloud security curriculum.
