Your Data and IPAre Your Most Valuable Assets

In June 2015, IDC released a report which found that most customers
can be more secure in AWS than their on-premises environment. How?
Automating logging
and monitoring
Simplifying
resource access
Making it easy to
encrypt properly
Enforcing strong
authentication
AWS Can Be More Secure than
Your Existing Environment

AWS and You Share Responsibility for Security

Constantly Monitored
The AWS infrastructure is protected by extensive
network and security monitoring systems:
 Network access is monitored by AWS
security managers daily
 AWS CloudTrail lets you monitor
and record all API calls
 Amazon Inspector automatically assesses
applications for vulnerabilities

Highly Available
The AWS infrastructure footprint helps protect your data from costly
downtime
 43 Availability Zones in 16 regions for
multi-synchronous geographic redundancy
 Retain control of where your data resides
for compliance with regulatory requirements
 Mitigate the risk of DDoS attacks using
services like Route 53
 Dynamically grow to meet unforeseen demand
using Auto Scaling

Integrated with Your Existing Resources
AWS enables you to improve your security using many
of your existing tools and practices
 Integrate your existing Active Directory
 Use dedicated connections as a secure,
low-latency extension of your data center
 Provide and manage your own encryption
keys if you choose

3rd Platform Effects on Security

The Need for Elastic
Security in the Cloud

Security is not known for being flexible or elastic…

The Times They Are a Changin’

One HUGE Example of Elasticity

At That Scale, Security Must Be Elastic
 Impossible to manually
provision security
 Workloads/servers need
consistent security every time
 Security must be tailored to the
specific cloud environment

Cloud Security Adoption: Customer Preferences
Q: What are your customer preferences for on-premises and
SaaS/cloud SECURITY solutions?
Prefer on-
premise
security
solutions
37%
Prefer cloud
security
solutions
21%
Prefer adopting a
hybrid security
approach
42%
 Cloud, mobility, and Big Data adoption
has increasingly impacted enterprise’s
security strategies. They add complexity
and drive investments in IT infrastructure
and data protection.
 The rising number of cyberattacks and
increasing complexities have led to
demand for managed security services
and more sophisticated security solutions.

Guidance
 Enterprises should evaluate a security providers ability
to be both flexible based on the environment and elastic
in order to meet the demands of modern cloud
environments
 Performance is critical when deploying cloud security
products, simply porting an existing product to a VM will
not allow for efficiencies in the cloud
 Inherent automation is key to cloud security products.
