When you outsource production, you may risk productivity
Gone are the days of anti-virus updates being applied only when a client is connected to a network segment that has visibility of the internal update services. In this new world, updates are being pushed out quickly and automatically from a central cloud service, reducing the exposure time to any potential threat. The security benefit of automatic, fast updates to client systems is obvious. The downside – which sometimes can be measured in terms of productivity - is less so. Productivity benefits are generally why businesses adopt cloud-centric models, that allow them to be agile. However, when we do this, we are at the mercy of these platforms. Global outages or incidents in large cloud platforms do not happen often, but when they do, especially at global scale, the ripples are felt everywhere.

Defining controls by expectation may result in exploitation
One of the significant factors influencing SMEs when selecting security controls is not pragmatic risk management and risk treatment, or even common industry frameworks, as you might imagine - but security controls expected by customers. Supply-chain security management through due diligence activities is often reasonable for this approach, but the one-size-fits-all approach can lead to weaker security models.

Future Work Expectations
Some industries have already migrated to a cloud centric view for daily operations, and this provides freedom for both the employer and the employees. Companies can now tap into global markets as geography no longer serves as a barrier and as mentioned in previous articles, ZeroTrust models continue to define how these remote identities are connected into the environment.

Cloud-Centric Models
Cloud environment management and setup can be very different from traditional internal/external based infrastructure deployment and therefore careful planning and design consideration is key to building scalable, resilient, secure cloud environments.
