The growth of cloud service is expected to reach $623.3 billion by 2023. Current world events are accelerating cloud adoption as costs are being driven down within corporations and cloud adopters. With this unprecedented growth bringing opportunities, it is also bringing risks. These risks affect your data, security, privacy and touch upon all parts of a business. This session examines some of the areas which affect security, privacy and compliance in the cloud. We will go through various areas of a cloud platform and service to highlight where potential risks could lie. During the talk we will look at what evidence and actions may be needed to manage risks and assure privacy and compliance in the cloud. We will also touch upon some of the regulations that are driving privacy and security in the cloud and will interpret these into practical and meaningful measurements to allow you to assess a cloud supplier based upon your specific needs for data protection and security for a given jurisdiction, service or product.
