ABSTRACT
We have seen a number of factors that need to be considered when thinking about a move to a cloud infrastructure. The number of potential issues arising from neglecting any aspect of cloud security is large, and the implications can be catastrophic. While some of the items are mostly applicable during the preparation for a switchover to cloud, many of the pertinent activities remain afterward and require careful management. It is the overall management of the business assets that should provide the focus for how security (among other things) should be considered, and this management is generally referred to as governance.
