Security and Accountability in the Cloud, the SANS 2016 Cloud Security Survey: Changes in Cloud Security

With more complex workloads in the cloud, are organizations making the necessary changes to monitor and secure those workloads? This webcast explores how cloud security has changed, both in terms of effectiveness and choice of tools.In the 2015 SANS cloud survey, half of respondents complained they couldn't see well enough into the cloud to know when a cloud-based workload was in trouble and had no way to respond to trouble they did know about. More than a third had no way to test how secure a workload was, once it moved to the cloud. Encryption and access controls did some good, even in complex environments. But respondents said even those were difficult to apply consistently across a mishmash of workplace/productivity apps, DropBox or other storage services, and a host of other services often chosen by business units rather than IT.
