The shift to a cloud environment provides significant benefits. Cloud resources can be scaled quickly, updated frequently, and widely accessed without geographic limitations. Realizing these benefits, however, requires organizations to manage associated organizational and technical risks. In this podcast from the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute, Chris Alberts, principal cybersecurity analyst in the SEI's CERT Division, discusses with principal researcher Suzanne Miller a prototype set of cloud adoption risk factors and describes a method that managers can employ to assess their cloud initiatives against these risk factors.
