Most organizations today use cloud services and solutions for their day-to-day operations, and that trend is growing exponentially. However, securing cloud-based services and applications is often a daunting and expensive task, especially since many, if not most, organizations lack the unique skills that are required.

Unless an organization gets assistance from qualified practitioners to address their cloud’s cybersecurity needs, they will likely experience surprises and significant unplanned additional expenses. A number of factors contribute to run-away costs when securing cloud infrastructures.

• Limited Visibility: Lack of visibility in the cloud environment leads to poor management of organizational resources. Unfortunately, most organizations don’t have accurate, real-time data showing which services are being utilized, which ones are actually working as desired, or which services are even required. As a result, the company pays for services that are not working, not needed or both.
• Incorrect Resource Provisioning: When a provider fails to correctly anticipate needed cloud services, some cloud resources may be flooded while others remain idle, leading to unnecessary costs and inefficiencies.
• Inadequate Budget Forecasting: Cost forecasting is complex and requires setting up processes and workflows, deep expertise, and extracting the right data. While most cloud platforms provide auto-scaling to help control cloud costs, they struggle to properly adjust for new services, variations in demand, or fluctuations in software efficiencies.
• Lack of Clearly Defined Responsibilities: It’s often difficult to determine just who is responsible for the myriad number of cybersecurity issues and tasks—the cloud provider or the customer utilizing their services. This important job is often neglected, resulting in surprise security incidents, added expenses, and strained relationships.
