CloudWars 2021 Cloud Database Report

Great report from Bob Evans and John Foley on the 2021 Cloud Database market. They break down their analysis by four primary criteria, which i’ve pasted below.

Whitepaper: Designing and deploying a data security strategy with Google Cloud

In January, Google published a new whitepaper: Designing and deploying a data security strategy with Google Cloud.In this blog summary, one of the authors -- Anton Chuvakin, Head of Solutions Strategy -- lays out the vision for the white paper as:Specifically, we wanted to explore both the question of starting a data security program in a cloud-native way, as well as adjusting your existing daily security program when you start utilizing cloud computing.Imagine you are migrating to the cloud and you are a traditional company. You have some data security capabilities, and most likely you have an existing daily security program, part of your overall security program. Perhaps you are deploying tools like DLP, encryption, data classification and possibly others. Suddenly, or perhaps not so suddenly, you're migrating some of your data processing and some of your data to the cloud. What to do? Do my controls still work? Are my practices current?

Less Trust, More Security: The New Model Of Cloud Operations

In this article from Forbes, Anton Chuvakin, Head of Solutions Strategy, Google Cloud, provides a “look at the cloud/trust paradox, and what your business can take away from it.”Here’s an idea of what’s covered: In the decade since the rise of cloud computing, a lot of research has been generated on the topic of cloud trust. Today, the very concept of “using public cloud” is inseparably connected to “trusting your cloud provider.” One of the clear paradoxes that has emerged is that to be able to trust cloud computing, you need to be able to trust it less. Here’s a look at what that means, and what your business can take away from it.
