Currently, with the prevalent trend towards cloud computing, businesses are increasingly considering it for its potential in cost reduction, scalability, and flexibility, among other things. However, this trend has led many to hastily adopt cloud solutions without proper planning. This can result in high costs due to inefficient resource utilization, loss of platform control, and increased security risks.
To address these challenges, major cloud providers advocate for the concept of a "landing zone," which is a secure architecture model aligned with cloud operational best practices.
If you're contemplating migrating to the cloud or have already done so in a disorganized manner, it's time to consider transitioning to a landing zone-based approach. This allows for granular control over user roles and permissions, implementation of security policies at various levels, and centralized, secure communication management on your platform. In essence, adopting a landing zone model will help you regain control and securely manage your cloud infrastructure.
When you move your workloads to the cloud, your data goes to someone else's servers. Protect them and ensure the security of your information!
