Cloud computing is a technology that provides storage on a computer’s hard drive, which allows a user to access or process the data anytime, anywhere, and on any machine. This technology became ubiquitous because it is simple to use and provided a convenient way to share information.
Cloud-computing security refers to the methodologies and frameworks to secure the data, applications, and infrastructure of cloud computing.
Why do you need cloud security?
Cloud computing is a technology that provides storage on a computer’s hard drive, which allows a user to access or process the data anytime, anywhere, and on any machine. This technology became ubiquitous because it is simple to use and provided a convenient way to share information.

EGS Approach
- Assessment of the application portfolio to select applications suitable for cloud migration
- Impact to regulatory compliance, such as SOX and HIPAA
- Impact to data privacy and protection standards, as well as data location/segregation standards
- Impact to organization’s security posture and likelihood of increased vulnerabilities
Strategy for cloud security migration:
- Evaluate vendor capabilities, mapped to requirements, with financial benefits
- Assessment of cloud computing provider’s security capabilities, control, and monitoring
- Assess tax implications and evaluate strategic alternatives
- Define cloud computing architecture, migration, and operations plan
- Create processes to integrate cloud computing into security framework
Assist with implementation of cloud security:
- Assist to conduct cloud Proof Of Concepts (POC) and pilots to mitigate risk
- Assist with installation, configuration, testing, migration, and operational transition
Continuous monitoring:
- Periodic security activities for cloud-related components to evaluate for vulnerabilities
- Log review
- Monitor audits results
- Monitor and remediate vulnerabilities
