Here, you are supposed to describe the general Information Security steps and controls that you would recommend to the Board to secure the Hybrid Cloud and which Cloud architectures you would employ to assist SoftArc Engineering meet the Board’s strategy. Furthermore, describe the risks that you see associated with this new Hybrid Cloud strategy and recommend what should be included in SoftArc Engineering’s BCP as a result of their adoption of a Hybrid Cloud approach. Finally, explain the critical points and issues that you see occurring at each of these steps and why you see these points or issues as critical. You are required to provide a report for SoftArc Engineering.
Task
SoftArc Engineering Ltd is a civil engineering company which works across Australia as well as in Indonesia, Timor-Leste and Papua New Guinea. The company is considering the following strategic proposal:
The Board of SoftArc Engineering is contemplating this strategy as a way to increase the company’s flexibility and responsiveness, particularly for its remote area and overseas operations. The Board also expects to achieve significant savings on the cost of maintaining their ICT infrastructure by closing the oldest existing data centre. This would entail retiring the infrastructure in that data centre rather than having to update it.
SoftArc Engineering has again approached you to advise them on this strategy. You have already advised SoftArc Engineering that this strategic approach will mean that they will need to design and operate a “Hybrid Cloud” methodology, where part of their data centre is “on premise” and another part in a Cloud.
SoftArc Engineering also plan to run a Risk and Security Workshop to assess the risks, security issues and possible methods of control that will be required with this “Hybrid Cloud” approach. You will be required to organise, run and facilitate this workshop.
The Board is also concerned about how this strategy will affect their BCP (Business Continuity Plan) and their backup and disaster recovery strategies.
Your task is to prepare a report for SoftArc Engineering that discusses the following:
