1. Windsor AWS User
Group
Introduction
WINDSOR

2. How can this happen?

3. …to lower security posture of your organization?
…why are we not getting hacked?
Have you ever been asked…

4. Is public cloud a viable option for an
enterprise if it can’t be secured?
If public cloud can not provide better security than
traditional IT DC it does not make sense as a
business model.
Therefore, for public cloud to make sense it will need
to be built on best of breed security processes and
technologies and built from the ground up with
Enterprise IT loads/security in mind.

5. AWS Cloud Compliance

6. AWS Security Mind Map

7. The Missing
Ingredient
How can slide 2 happen?

8. Transformation of IT
Workforce
What happens if we don't train the IT workforce on cloud
technlogies?
Security = fail
Cloud deployments = fail
Bringing bad habits and poorly secured applications from
traditional DC into cloud will NOT improve security posture.
Changing people, processes, and technology so they can
adapt to the cloud is required!!!!!

9. IT/Business Trends
IT goes from enabler of business to business driven by IT.

10. “Democratization of technology refers to the
process by which access to technology
rapidly continues to become more accessible
to more people. New technologies and
improved user experiences have empowered
those outside of the technical industry to
access and use technological products and
services.”
