1.2.4 Benefits of Security and Governance
Description of the benefits of security and governance.
Cloud features support governance and compliance. Things such as set templates help ensure deployed resources meet standards and government requirements. Cloud-based auditing flags anything out of compliance with your set standards. Depending on the operating model you are using, software patches and updates may automatically be applied.
Security
For max control of security, IaaS provides physical resources, but lets you manage the operating systems and software, including patches and maintenance. If you want patches and maintenance applied automatically, PaaS or SaaS are the best strategies.
Cloud providers are usually well equipped to handle DDoS which helps keep your network robust and secure.
