MAKING THE CLOUD A SAFER SPACE
THE CLOUD IN THE ENTERPRISE 
It’s easy to span new instances 
(often) it takes less time than 
internal IT to have a virtual machine 
Great for prototyping and then 
they bring it into production 
Might have discounts from HW/SW 
vendor (especially HP Cloud, 
Azure, ....) 
Some applications are 
outsourced (eg: SalesForce, ...) 
Small software suppliers prefer to 
sell software-as-a-service
WHAT HAPPENS IN REALITY 
Applications 
and instances 
are out of 
control 
Not always 
possible to 
enforce IT 
security 
policies 
Each 
application 
have its own 
username/ 
password 
Prone to 
identity frauds 
and 
bruteforce 
attacks 
Can’t have a 
central point of 
control
