Your organization has chosen a cloud first direction for all new application deployment and development projects and you have been tasked with developing an implementation plan but aren’t quite sure where to begin. This Cloud Security Alliance whitepaper will help cloud initiative decision makers create a repeatable process for moving applications and data to the cloud – either public, or SaaS.

The cloud movement presents a rare and momentous opportunity to revisit not only how we think about computing, but also how we think about information security. This whitepaper, written by the Cloud Security Alliance, provides an in-depth discussion of the security considerations for public and private clouds. Topics include business agreements, physical and virtual attack surfaces and most importantly, where do the security responsibilities lie.
