As cloud-based services permeate the industry with promises of security resilience, newer technologies, and reduced operational costs, many organizations now have a mindset of considering cloud services wherever and whenever possible. But is your organization ready to integrate with cloud services? Is your organization aware of the areas that need transformation? Leveraging cloud services is one way to mitigate risks, but the organization’s information assurance accountability must extend beyond its own boundaries to include the cloud infrastructure.
