14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has added a new video to the Cloud Fundamentals series, in order to offer more details about using cloud services.
With the latest installment of Trustworthy Computing’s Cloud Fundamentals Video Series, embedded below, you will learn more on why data classification is important when it comes to cloud migration.
Companies that would like to take advantage of what cloud services have to offer have yet to segregate data within their existing services. The most recent video in the aforementioned series is set to explain more on what can be done in this area.
“Many organizations want to take advantage of the cloud, but the data within existing services often contains a mix of the organization’s high, moderate, and low impact data,” Tim Rains, director, Trustworthy Computing, notes in a recent post.
The new video in Trustworthy Computing’s Cloud Fundamentals Series features Jeffrey Miller, information security and privacy manager for Microsoft Health Solutions Group.
Watch the video to listen to him discuss “the need to classify and segregate data to enable cloud migration while still maintaining regulatory and standards requirements applicable to sensitive data.”
Through the tools that it offers to its customers, Microsoft enables cloud migration, while also offering organizations the possibility to choose what data to send into the cloud and what to keep on its internal servers.
This way, both customers and providers can ensure that their collaboration includes transparency, increased data protection, and the like.
“Cloud customers are ultimately responsible for maintaining regulatory and standards-based requirements addressing data protection and use,” Tim Rains notes.
“Cloud providers have an obligation to maintain transparency of operations to the degree required to support customer audits, but doing so in a scalable manner.
“Using Microsoft solution accelerators, a customer may analyze a service and its data to enable cloud migration, and make decisions on exactly what should go into the cloud vs. what should stay within the organization’s data center.”
To learn some other details on what choosing the right cloud service and provider involves, you should have a look at some other videos in the Cloud Fundamentals Series from Microsoft’s Trustworthy Computing.
