QUICK WINS FOR
ENTERPRISE IT
3
Based on this report’s findings, here are some quick wins
for enterprise IT to enable cloud apps while minimizing risk:
With the EU GDPR ratified and compliance expected by 2018, enterprises
must discover the cloud apps in use in their organization, and ensure that
those apps meet key requirements of the regulation.
Threats and malware propagate in the cloud. Enterprises should gather
threat intelligence about their cloud environments as well as scan for and
remediate malware in cloud apps.
With DLP violations occurring in Cloud Storage, Webmail, and several
other app categories, enterprises should e-discover their regulated or
sensitive content in those and other business-critical apps.
