Houston-based technology consulting firm, Xvand (IsUtility) graciously offered the opportunity to provide content for their cloud computing blog. I worked closely with firm representative Yehuda Cagen on the topic of how Cloud Computing can actually increase enterprise security if correctly applied.

The article, 3 Top Things IT Experts Won’t Tell You About Cloud Computing Security, covers Managed Security Service Providers (MSSP), Cloud Disaster Recovery strategies and Mobile Device Management (MDM).  These solutions are particularly relevant to those firms who do not have the internal resources available to address the multitude of issues that are currently breaking over the enterprise

Cloud security is a still an immature practice, yet the services mentioned above can cover significant security gaps in your organization, reduce the risk of data loss or allow the effective management of the consumerization trend in the enterprise.

With security and IT teams strapped for resources and time, these services can allow for a more proactive approach to information security and risk management.
