Cloud computing offers significant opportunities, but risk management is essential for preparation against outages and disruptions. Major outages have led to financial and operational damage for unprepared businesses. It's crucial to understand that risk is shared with cloud providers under the shared responsibility model. Providers ensure infrastructure reliability, but customers must manage their operating environments, including applications and workflows. A proactive approach to risk management fosters resilience and addresses the uncomfortable reality of potential failures.
Cloud outsourcing doesn't eliminate risk; it simply shares it with the provider. The shared responsibility model of cloud governance clarifies certain aspects of risk management.
Managing risk isn't about doubting the effectiveness of cloud providers-it's about ensuring resilience when the unexpected happens. If sharing that message makes people uncomfortable, I know I'm doing my job.
