There’s no denying that cloud is imperative to any business; it gives IT leaders easy access to data anytime, any place and paves the way for long-term cost savings. That said, the cloud is also incredibly vulnerable, as it simultaneously allows greater access to sensitive data and less control over the network. From a cloud security perspective, there are two considerable challenges companies face when they move to the cloud:
1. Ensuring that no additional risk arises when moving from an on-premise solution to the cloud (or some hybrid of the two)
2. Configuring all controls that existed for an on-premise solution for the cloud-based solution to enforce the same or a higher level of control in the cloud environment
