Comment pouvez-vous répondre aux préoccupations concernant les violations de données potentielles lors du transfert d’informations sensibles vers le cloud ?

One of the most critical elements is limiting the amount of individuals with access to the data. Performing a comprehensive Zero Trust audit - who has access to what based on their role, seniority, and need for access will create a baseline for how and where you move the data to in the cloud. Many orgs operate too freely with access to data and looking at a migration to the cloud gives you a chance to "start fresh" like no other. Think about purging when you move homes or offices. A cloud migration is the perfect time to rethink how you structure applications, data, and access in an era where heightened security vigilance is required.

Here’s how I would approach it: 1. Highlight Cloud Security Measures: Encryption for data at rest and in transit, multi-factor authentication, and continuous monitoring for threats. 2. Emphasize Compliance and Certifications: complies with industry standards and regulations (e.g., ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA). 3. Implement Data Access Controls: Strict access controls, including role-based permissions and regular audits, to ensure only authorized personnel can access sensitive information. 4. Regular Security Audits and Penetration Testing 5. Data Backup and Recovery Plans 6. Educate and Train Employees 7. Transparent Communication and Incident Response We can build confidence in the secure migration of sensitive data to the cloud.

I will make sure that both data in transit and at rest is encrypted using the strongest encryption standard such as AES-256 and TLS 1.2 or higher. Implementing access control will also be my other option, because it will limit access to data only to the individuals that need it. Need to know basis!

To address concerns about potential data breaches when moving sensitive information to the cloud, emphasize robust encryption, strict access controls, and regular security audits. Assure stakeholders that cloud providers adhere to industry standards and compliance regulations, and highlight the benefits of enhanced security features compared to traditional on-premises systems.

When data In Transit Use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt data as it moves between your on-premises environment and the cloud. For example, when a user uploads a file to a cloud storage service, TLS ensures that the data is encrypted during the transfer. Where as data At Rest, Encrypt data stored in the cloud using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 256-bit keys. For instance, AWS S3 provides server-side encryption (SSE) to automatically encrypt data at rest.

Use tools like Nessus or Qualys to scan your cloud environment for vulnerabilities. For example, running a Nessus scan on your AWS environment can identify misconfigurations or outdated software that could be exploited. Conduct regular penetration tests to simulate attacks and identify weaknesses. For instance, hiring a third-party security firm to perform a penetration test on your cloud infrastructure can uncover potential security gaps.

This is a broad topic, but ill touch on a few key points. 1. You need to know the who, what, why, when, and where of everything you need for your entire eco-system to achieve your goals. And don't just go with your knowledge/understanding, get the perspective of other stakeholders (Don't forget the accountants!) #multiperspective 2. You need to build out a complete plan with every resource needed that's detailed step by step. 3. You need to test this plan step by step. 4. Every change in the environment needs to result in you revalidation the plan. How far, wide, or deep into your environment do you need to go? Verify with this question, does it achieve all your goals if you don't do xyz?
