Cloud Security Resources:

"Is Your Application Cloud-Worthy?"
Most companies or organizations that investigate using the Cloud are driven by the desire to reduced costs or provide dynamic scalability. Some do it for both reasons.


"IaaS Threats in the Cloud - Part 1"
This is part 1 of a 3 part Tech Tip on likely threats in Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Cloud.


"IaaS Threats in the Cloud - Part 2"
In this Tip, we’ll be covering the second biggest threat I see to IaaS: Vulnerabilities in the remote management solutions (VPNs, Remote Desktop, Remote Shell, and Web Console UIs).


"IaaS Threats in the Cloud - Part 3"
This tip will focus on exposures in the Domain Name System (DNS) and how this affects Infrastructure as a Service.


"PaaS Threats in the Cloud"
In PaaS, control (and security) of the application is moved to the consumer, and the provider secures the underlying cloud infrastructure (i.e., firewalls, servers, operating systems, etc).


"SaaS Threats in the Cloud"
This Tech Tip will focus on the top three threats I see to Software as a Service (SaaS) consumers. We’ll be talking about the threats you can mitigate, not those that you rely on your provider to mitigate.


"Virtual Desktop Threats"
This Tech Tip is focused on identifying the most common security issues that solution providers run into when deploying virtual desktops for customers and some practical ways to solve them.
