CSO - Why DevOpsSec offers a better model for secure cloud applications

Description

Data security continues to be a primary concern among business and IT leaders considering cloud initiatives. In a 2014 IDG survey, 56 percent of the participating IT managers said they cannot embrace the cloud more fully until service providers can guarantee adequate security. The biggest concerns involve an ability to enforce corporate security policies at provider sites, controlling access to data in cloud-hosted environments and the ability to audit providers.

In this paper, we'll explore how businesses can establish a new type of team -- DevOpsSec-- marrying DevOps with security throughout the design process can heighten organizations' ability to respond to emerging threats. We'll discuss the structure, data model and mind set requirements to a successful approach. And we'll learn how Medigain leveraged GoodData's HIPAA-compliant analytics platform to ensure the security of patient data.
