The document discusses the urgent need for enterprises to adopt cloud security and modernize their IT infrastructure in response to increasing cyber threats and customer demands. It highlights the risks of inadequate cloud implementation and the necessity for a new cybersecurity posture as organizations transition to public cloud environments. Additionally, the document outlines a security maturity model to help businesses assess their current capabilities and enhance their security measures against evolving cyber threats.

1. Cloud Security Adoption
Timothy Fong, Security Solutions

2. Transformation Imperative
It’s increasingly clear that we’re entering a highly
disruptive extinction event. Many enterprises that fail
to transform themselves will disappear.

5. Cloud Adoption:
Opportunities and Risks
Many enterprises are stuck supporting both their
inefficient traditional data-center environments and
inadequately planned cloud implementations that may
not be as easy to manage or as affordable as they
imagined.

8. Attackers are getting stronger
While hackers are honing their skills, business is going
digital—and that makes companies more vulnerable to
cyberattacks. Assets ranging from new product designs to
distribution networks and customer data are now at risk.

11. Cloud Changes Security
For a company that has only begun to use the public
cloud, it can be tempting to build a public-cloud
cybersecurity model using the controls it already has for
on-premises systems. But this can lead to problems,
because on-premises controls seldom work for
public-cloud platforms without being reconfigured.
