Dimension Data Cloud Security : Develope a Secure Cloud Approach

Taking a layered approach to securing the cloud

The solution lies in taking a layered or ‘defense in depth’ approach to enterpriseclass security. An effective hosted cloud service involves much more than migrating sensitive data into an environment, simply
wrapping a virtual perimeter around it and calling it secure. Unfortunately, this is precisely what many public cloud offerings consider ‘security’. Businesses should give thought to how to best secure each layer of the cloud environment, including the infrastructure, operating system, application and network layers. They need an integrated approach that considers networking and security together, in order to provide security for
the overall functionality of the application and data to be migrated to the cloud.
