#1: VISIBILITY
Visibility
• Can you see all your
cloud accounts and
instances?
• Connect to all your
clouds
• Gain visibility to all your
accounts
You Can’t Control What You Can’t See

• Private clouds
• Virtualized
• Control access
• Standardize
configuration
• Patch and update
• Audit trails

#2: IAM
• Mostly the same
• Govern and enforce user access
• Configure Role Management
• Context Based Access Control
• Enable Audit reporting
• 3rd Party Identity Providers
• SSO SAML, MFA, Oauth, ADFS
• But…
• How do you handle multiple clouds and
accounts?
• So how do you control cloud credentials?
Considerations for IAM in Cloud
15
“Should this person (user) who
performs this job function and
therefore has these roles assigned
(role) be allowed to access this type
of data as it applies to this particular
account (context)?”
Current state
• CSPs follow proprietary
schemes to support
user provisioning and
lifecycle management
of user profiles
• IAM Integrations
accomplished through
grafts and tie-ins
• What’s the state of IAM for difference
cloud providers?
• Not all have IAM services for all features.
• How do you manage multiple clouds?
• Centralize control through your CMP
• Limit users that can go directly to cloud
accounts
• AD Agents/Connectors
• Okta, Ping Identity, OneLogin
• Enterprise Directory Services
• Active Directory Federation Services ADFS/
SAML integration
Multi-Cloud IAM
16
Challenges
• Difficult to implement,
manage, and support
• Difficult to scale and/ or
extend to other CSPs
• No direct coupling
between AD and AWS

#3: WORKLOAD
SECURITY
Enforce Policies
• Catalog of templates that
meet corporate standards
• Configured to your
security requirements
• Define which clouds can
be used
• Control user options and
choices
• Orchestrate and automate
deployment and
operations
Workload Security: From Rogue to Policy-Based
20
Basic instances
Stacks for Dev or Prod Applications
Standardization
• Automate provisioning and
configuration
• Version-controlled
• Follow standards for
versions, patches and
configuration
• Leverage a variety of
scripting languages
• Modular and auditable
• Define Security
Configuration Baselines

Increase IT efficiency
o Bring your own
configuration management
o Clone existing
architectures
o Updates and patches
o Monitor and alert
o Auto-scale up and down
Patch and Update
• Asymmetric keys private/public
• Key Management

• Key Management-as-a-Service
• AWS, Azure
• Multi-tenant
• Hardware Security Modules
• On-premise
• Cloud services (AWS)
• RightScale
• Encryption of keys -MUST

#4: DATA SECURITY
Compliance
Requirements
• PCI E-Commerce
• HIPAA / PHI/ 21CFR11
• NPI / PII
• FTI IRS PUB1075
• MPAA
• Data Protection / Encryption
• In-transit: MUST
• At rest: MUST
• In process: DEPENDS
• Considerations in the Cloud
• Select the right cloud provider
• Some cloud providers encrypt by default
• Review their security documents
• Most Cloud Providers will sign BAA
• Segregate workloads

• Data privacy legislation differs around the world
• Evaluate encryption options where you manage the keys (a la
Amazon Aurora) so vendor can’t give data in case of
subpoena
• What is the CSP’s data retention period?
• What country is the CSP headquartered out of?
• Which jurisdiction covers the contract between you and the
CSP?
