Securing Your Cloud Environment

As opportunities within the cloud landscape grow, so do the number of vulnerabilities. That’s why it should come as no surprise that 91% of businesses are concerned about cloud security.2 From data breaches to account hijacking to insufficient access management internally, enterprise IT teams can quickly find themselves struggling to stay on top of such a broad range of security threats.

Assess Your Security Posture

  • Due to limited time, resources, and expertise, avoiding security threats and meeting ever-changing compliance regulations can be a huge source of pain for enterprise organizations.

Your Current State

  • Fulfilling requirements strain internal IT: Organizations are challenged to monitor complex and frequently updated policies and to pass audits and risk assessments.
  • Need to optimize without cutting corners: Optimizing can save enterprises on costs and increase agility, but doing so safely is a challenge.
  • Staying compliant is a struggle: Depending on your industry and region, regulatory requirements can be overwhelming for internal teams to track.

What You Need

  • Risk assessment: A thorough audit of each of the five aspects of cybersecurity: Identification, Protection, Detection, Response, and Recovery.
  • Defined processes: Auditability and assessment require planning, preparation, and partnership.
  • A solid business continuity/disaster recovery plan: Business interruptions from natural disasters, vendor failures and ransomware make this a necessary, practised function.
  • Alignment between information security and business priorities: Shadow IT, speed to market, hybrid/cloud complexity, and increasing security needs make cross-functional alignment a critical component of business success.

What You Could Achieve

  • Optimized IT spending: Less cloud waste, decreased downtime, and a reduced risk of paying fines and penalties.
  • Increased business agility: An empowered organization that can scale as needed, move and place workloads effectively, and stay productive.
  • A competitive edge: IT professionals that are freed from mundane infrastructure management tasks and able to focus on innovation.
  • Reduced risk: Protected data in an environment that meets strict compliance requirements with regular updates that are handled automatically.

New Cloud Directives

Migration to the cloud can achieve much more than just improving hardware expenditures. Moving to a managed cloud infrastructure frees up your IT staff to focus on forward-looking tasks, such as troubleshooting and root cause analysis rather than day-to-day maintenance. Plus, the expansion of artificial intelligence, on-demand video streaming, and IoT devices is necessitating the infrastructure flexibility that only cloud can provide.

Your Current State

  • Unoptimized efforts: Staff, equipment, and operational processes are inefficient, and it’s becoming difficult to meet internal and external SLAs.
  • Scalability challenges: Limited management resources and reliance on on-prem systems are hindering the flexibility and scalability needed to support fluctuating workloads.
  • Security and business stability risks: Uptime and business continuity, disaster recovery.

What You Need

  • Cloud strategy assessment: Clear understanding of your goals and KPIs, plus which cloud-native services to employ.
  • Unique processes: Keep in mind the third-party and proprietary applications your business runs on.
  • Migration/database services: What data sources and storage do you depend on and how is it all managed?
  • Three tiers of service to choose from: Self-managed, co-managed, fully managed.

What You Could Achieve

  • Reduced risk: Protected data in an environment that meets strict compliance requirements with regular updates that are handled automatically.
  • Optimized IT spend: Apps that are running where they run best to make your budget go further.
  • Increased business agility: An empowered organization that can scale as needed, move and place workloads effectively, and stay productive.
  • A competitive edge: IT professionals that are freed from mundane infrastructure management tasks and able to focus on innovation.

Moving to the Public Cloud

Flexibility. Scalability. Speed. The public cloud can help you rapidly spin up servers and adjust resources without the need for a dedicated environment. But the rush to public over the past few years has left many companies dealing with confusing and wildly varying usage charges. It’s no wonder a recent cloud research report found that “optimizing cloud costs” is the top priority for a majority of IT leaders (RightScale). Fortunately, the Ntirety team has hundreds of certifications and real-world experience ready to help you find the right public cloud strategy.

Your Current State

  • Unoptimized efforts: Wildly varying and confusing cost from unmanaged public cloud usage.
  • Muted security and business stability risks: Lack of visibility into public cloud usage across the organization—shadow IT—risks exposure of vital data.

What You Need

  • Public cloud cost assessment: A line-by-line exploration of costs and actionable steps to reduce them.
  • Public/hybrid recommendations: Opportunities to move to a multi- or hybrid-cloud approach.
  • Three tiers of service to choose from: Self-managed, co-managed, and fully managed.

What You Could Achieve

  • Reduced risk: Protected data in an environment that meets strict compliance requirements with regular updates that are handled automatically.
  • Optimized IT spend: Apps that are running where they run best to make your budget go further.
  • Increased business agility: An empowered organization that can scale as needed, move and place workloads, and stay productive.
  • A competitive edge: IT professionals that are freed from mundane infrastructure management tasks and able to focus on assisting the company in meeting business goals.

Implementing a Hybrid Cloud Environment

Organizations that require multiple IT platforms—due to legacy applications, special IT attributes, or regulatory mandates, for instance—are well-suited for the flexibility and ease of the hybrid cloud. From a recent Forbes article, “With a hybrid cloud, companies can transition to the cloud at their own pace, with less risk and at a lower cost.”*  Unlike some providers who use a “one-size-fits-all” approach, our hybrid cloud hosting server architectures can be “mixed and matched” to create a hybrid managed cloud environment fully suited to the organization’s unique requirements.

Your Current State

  • Partially optimized cost: Are you using the right combination of cloud?
  • Security and business stability risk: Are there holes in your multi-cloud or hybrid environments?

What You Need

  • Cloud best practices assessment: Focused on recommendations in the areas of cost optimization, availability, performance, scalability, security, compliance, and automation.
  • Cloud risk assessment: Evaluate ways to safeguard their documents and prevent content piracy.
  • Three tiers of service to choose from: Self-managed, co-managed, fully managed.

What You Could Achieve

  • Reduced risk: Protected data in an environment that meets strict compliance requirements with regular updates that are handled automatically.
  • Optimized IT spend: Apps that are running where they run best to make your budget go further.
  • Increased business agility: An empowered organization that can scale as needed and stay productive.
  • A competitive edge: IT professionals that are freed from mundane infrastructure management tasks and able to focus on assisting the company in meeting business goals.
