Hybrid cloud: the best of both worlds?

Many organizations are migrating to the cloud because of the business benefits of cloud computing, such as agility, cost savings, efficiency, and performance. However, each enterprise is an independent individual.

Javid Khan, chief cloud officer of Pulsant, explained: "not all enterprises benefit from cloud computing technology, and not all enterprises have the same needs. This is especially true when choosing between private and public cloud models, hosting and hosting. In addition, they may not be allowed to move some information to the public cloud due to regulatory or business requirements. Javid Khan was recently appointed Chief Cloud Officer of Pulsant.

The hybrid cloud represents the best cloud platform in the world.

Hybrid cloud: the best of both worlds?

"it allows enterprises to use the cloud computing or hosting model that best suits their requirements, regulatory framework, and business objectives. this may mean using a private cloud to host sensitive data and public clouds to host other business systems, or it may mean maintaining investment in existing technologies, such as hosting, while using public or private clouds to take advantage of performance and cost." Khan said.

Protect data in the cloud

When cloud computing first emerged and companies began to consider adopting it, there was a huge hurdle to overcome: data protection.

Protection is everyone's concern, or at least it should be, and initially, companies were skeptical about the fragility of cloud computing.

It has now been determined that cloud computing is actually secure.

"it is up to cloud computing providers to decide whether there is proper encryption and infrastructure security. Large public cloud providers such as AWS and Microsoft Azure embed security processes in their technologies to ensure that their infrastructure is secure." Khan confirmed.

"however, it is up to customers to provide appropriate protection measures to protect their data (just as they host content internally), such as backups, disaster recovery plans, encryption, and antivirus." He went on.

Compliance in the cloud

IT compliance is a tortuous and complex navigation environment.

"when it comes to cloud computing, there are many applicable regulatory frameworks, such as ISO27001 for information security and ISO27017 for cloud services." "while companies can achieve compliance, industry change rates, business growth and regulatory changes mean that maintaining the compliance cloud is a challenge," Khan said.

Continuous compliance

Cloud compliance is not an one-off check box activity. This journey is not aimed at achieving compliance. Just as the digital transition has no final state, it is continuous.

"this is the commitment of the entire organization to ensure that business IT systems do not lose compliance." "continuous compliance refers to an organization's ability to continuously address its IT compliance requirements and ensure that they maintain compliance and alert them when they are unable to remedy them," Khan said.

He continued, "but this can be challenging for a number of reasons, including difficulty in managing the compliance framework, the rate of change inside and outside, and a general lack of understanding of compliance."
