“ It ’ s clear that improving organisational cyber security is of paramount importance ”
ELIZABETH GREEN CYBERSECURITY & RESILIENCE SPECIALIST DELL TECHNOLOGIES
subscribing to the multiple eggs , multiple baskets approach .
Green , looking at the ongoing debate between the public and private cloud , advocates for a hybrid solution , where data is stored either on or off premises ( or both ) depending on the need to keep it safe - in addition to the other factors that can affect that decision . “ If organisations are overly reliant and have critical data shared in the public cloud over which they have no control of recovery , they ’ ll be in a difficult position to answer regulatory , internal and customer questions about what happens next ,” she explains . “ For this reason , I recommend organisations build a hybrid cloud IT environment . This approach does not exclude anyone from taking advantage of the myriad benefits of public cloud but it does mean that critical operational and customer / user data can be held on infrastructure over which the individual organisation has control .”
In the end , however , it ’ s likely that a combination of all three approaches ( not to mention the many more being touted by cybersecurity professionals throughout the industry ) working in concert will still face tough challenges on the road ahead . Data will continue to grow , data centres will continue to become larger and more mission critical , and we need to do everything in our power to stay ahead of a decade of rapidly evolving threats .
