Managing the Requirements of a MultiCloud System

The use of digital technology has advanced to include cloud computing in the delivery of services, cost reduction, increased agility, and improved security. The emergence of various cloud solutions has led organizations to move their assets from on-premises to the cloud, and even further diversify by using multicloud and hybrid solutions to meet customer needs. Multicloud is becoming more popular, and companies are quickly turning to the idea of multicloud strategies, with some even dedicating a cloud to run single applications. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the migration to cloud computing, and businesses that choose to work with multiple cloud service providers for various reasons create opportunities for those with the right certifications. The main reasons businesses use multicloud solutions are better security, flexibility, and customer experience. According to Flexeras State of the Cloud report, 92 percent of enterprises have a multicloud strategy, with the seven cloud providers experiencing rapid growth since the pandemic. The rise of multicloud can be attributed to the fact that cloud solutions give organizations the simplicity and flexibility to scale their business according to demand. Multicloud environments offer several advantages, such as flexibility, scalability, and the ability to mix and match cloud services from different cloud providers to meet specific workloads. A multicloud environment can be a combination of Infrastructure as a Service from a Cloud Service Provider and Software as a Service from another vendor, allowing for high performance, scalability, and cost savings. Despite the advantages of running a multicloud environment, the heterogeneity of these cloud platforms adds to existing security challenges; therefore, having a deep understanding of these cloud environments and their peculiarities is essential. Multicloud environments create a larger attack surface, and cloud resources and instances spun up can be forgotten or unmanaged. Organizations can lack visibility and security would be dependent on the CSP and tools that can be integrated with existing CSP tools and technologies. Successful management of resources hosted in a multicloud environment can raise concerns about operational complexity. The more cloud environments you use, the more complex it becomes to manage them. Each cloud environment has its own proprietary tools covering security, analytics, APIs, and unique processes for managing its environment. Learning and deeply understanding these tools independently can lead to security gaps if not appropriately handled. To achieve operational efficiency and effectiveness, consistency across all cloud environments should be maintained. This can be challenging when your data and resources are spread across multiple platforms. In a multicloud environment where each CSP has its own security infrastructure approach, achieving a stable cloud security posture requires a complete approach focused on the overall computing environment and not vendor-specific environments. It is important for organizations looking to move forward to adopt multiple cloud computing solutions. Security professionals must take up new roles and gain new skills and knowledge relevant to deploying appropriate control and security measures. Cloud security vendors use different security models and have varying responsibilities and compliance obligations; hence, a solid vendor-neutral knowledge of the cloud environment is required. Cloud Security Providers have various certification programs to equip security professionals with platform-specific skills such as configuration, audits, identity and access management. These certifications are specifically for the vendors cloud environment, focusing only on configuring and operating in the specific platforms, limiting the scope and the applicability of the knowledge gained. It is in the interest of organizations that, as they use multiple cloud environments, training and certification of security teams should go beyond the technical management of individual cloud environments. The Certified Cloud Security Professional course provides training and certification which equips individuals with technical skills and knowledge to design, manage, and secure data, applications, and infrastructure across various CSPs using best practices, policies, and procedures established by experts. The CCSP is a vendor-neutral certification that equips individuals with a robust knowledge of all aspects of cloud security and demonstrates they are a Subject Matter Expert in aligning security objectives with business goals. It positions them as an authority in cloud security, highly proficient in staying on top of the latest technologies, developments, and threats. CCSP helps build the solid knowledge required for efficient cloud security for professionals with vendor-specific certifications, expanding their skillsets across multiple cloud environments. The knowledge and skills gained with CCSP training and certification are beneficial to professionals in their early careers and an essential building block for senior roles.
