What are we covering today?
4. Cloud is the New Normal
! Maturity levels in cloud service providers now surpass
expectations surrounding security, data sovereignty and
compliance
! Opportunity for dramatic TCO cost reduction across
the data centre and infrastructure landscape is now a
reality
! Ongoing advancements within our region in Cloud
Management and Security Services
7. Analyst View
● Public cloud services market in our mature APJ region is on
pace to grow 14.2% in 2015
● Recent Gartner report published in Jan 2015 predicts cloud
services in APAC region will reach over $11.5 Billion by
2018
11. ! Understand the business view of the workload
○ Particularly its constraints
! Understand what you can expect
○ The environment into which you are deploying
○ How you will operate
! Understand the implications compared to the “Old World”
The need to understand
12. Understand workload constraints
! “Compliance”, aka External Obligations
○ What are the (information, functional) Regulated control expectations?
○ Do you have external contractual obligations? PCI DSS anybody?
! Business Risk (what do the people who pay you care about?)
○ What problems does the business cares about?
○ Not just owners – what about the workload consumers?
○ Recovery
! Given those “security” things, what do you also now have to
○ Monitor? Assure? Report on? Prove? Enable?
13. Tangent: Jurisdiction
Disclaimer: IANAL (but I’ve played one at a costume party)
The Outsource Problem - on steroids
! Transitivity of external obligations?
! Rights of access (investigations, audits)?
! Timely ability to access the right people (incidents, information)?
! Contracts (enforcement, lock-in)?
! Cost complexities (exchange rates, taxes)?
! Physical security? Personnel security?
! Hosting government (target status, stability, policies)?
! ...
14. Understand the environment
! There are usually changes required (or sacrifices to be made)
○ Degree and granularity of control (and visibility) often reduces
○ Balance of power?
! Understand how you’re going to operate
○ Who is responsible for what? And for each layer…
! Remember its about end-to-end service, not just ?aaS provider
○ Network communications, sub-providers
