Microsoft's CISO on cloud innovation and security
Cloud computing continues to reshape the way companies across the world operate and innovate in the 21st century. In this timely article, Microsoft CISO Bret Arsenault discusses strategies to succeed in the cloud and guard against cyber intrusions.
How has cloud computing changed business operations?
Cloud computing has reshaped business operations by enabling companies to interact digitally with customers, employees, and suppliers. The pandemic accelerated this shift, as remote work necessitated access to cloud services from any device, enhancing agility and performance.
What are the key security concerns in cloud computing?
One significant security concern is the large attack surface due to inadequate basic security practices. For instance, using passwords makes users 20 times more likely to be compromised compared to employing multi-factor authentication. Addressing these basics is crucial for improving security.
What future trends can we expect in cloud technology?
Future trends in cloud technology include a continued shift towards companies becoming more software-oriented, driven by the need for agility and performance. This evolution will likely be supported by advancements in security measures and the integration of multi-factor authentication to enhance protection against cyber threats.
