The Cloud Security Matrix is ready!
We’re excited to share that the Cloud Security Implementation Matrix, the very first result of the Go Cloud! Go Secure! Erasmus+ project, is now up and running on the project’s website.
The primary audience for the CSI Matrix is SMEs that are using or considering using cloud services but may not have own security teams or cloud-security expertise. The tool is designed to be straightforward, flexible and SME-friendly without too much technical jargon and is a support for organisations that want to responsibly adopt cloud solutions and maintain security at the same time.
All the SMEs have to do is choose the cloud model they rely on and the Matrix reveals, assesses and mitigates the threats that are associated with the cloud model chosen.
The CSI Matrix works in four easy steps:
- Choose which cloud service model you are using or planning to use (e.g. SaaS, PaaS, IaaS).
- Based on your selections, you can check the security risks most relevant to your cloud environment.
- The Matrix rates the level of risk each threat poses to your organisation — this means it prioritises what matters most for your business.
- As a last step, you are presented with clear advice and tips guided by the well-known OWASP Top 10 framework.
At the end of the process, a personalised PDF can be downloaded with all the results and recommendations. Besides English, the tool is available in five more European languages.
We invite you to explore CSI Matrix and secure your cloud environment.
