Abstract
The federal government recently made cloud adoption a central tenet of its IT modernization strategy. As organizations adopt cloud technologies and/or choose cloud service providers (CSPs), they face vulnerabilities and risks. In this podcast, Don Faatz and Tim Morrow, researchers with the SEI's CERT Division, outline best practices that organizations should use to address the vulnerabilities and risks in moving applications and data to cloud services. These practices are geared toward small and medium-sized organizations; however, all organizations, independent of size, can use these practices to improve the security of their cloud usage.
