The Challenge
Recent research indicates that 80% of companies’ IT budgets will be spent on cloudbased IT services in the near future.
The scalability, reduced in-house IT costs and ease-of-access to a vast array of software in the cloud are well understood, but as adoption accelerates, uncertainty still lingers because of concerns about security.
Managing the opportunities and the security challenges is crucial to modern competitive business development.
- Being sure a cloud service provider is secure is difficult
- Cloud-based services, architectures and protocols are diverse, involving multiple connections, contracts – and vulnerabilities
- Deciding what to allow in a public cloud and what to retain in your private cloud, requires knowledge that may not be available in-house
- Legal issues such as who is liable for a data breach across providers are unclear
- Overall confidence in the suitability of cloud-bases services is difficult to achieve.
Ubiquitous connectivity, the amorphous nature of information interchange and the ineffectiveness of traditional static controls against the dynamic nature of cloud-based services, need new thinking and a new approach.
Our Solutions
KT Secure’s Cloud Security Experts have many years’ experience working with cloud-based services across many of the major vendor and service offerings including Amazon, Google, Office 365, Azure, Salesforce and more. It’s unlikely you will face any challenge they have not already dealt with.
Our service is comprehensive:
- Service Selection We can help you select the right cloud providers and services for you – we understand all the capabilities, costs and security systems
- Inter-Connectivity We can advise the optimum way to connect and manage multiple cloud environments, including connectivity to your on-premise private cloud

- Hosting, Management and Monitoring Consistent and comprehensive management, monitoring, alerting and reporting across multiple and diverse cloud services whether hosted in the private or public cloud, or both.
We are particularly expert in the integration of existing in-house systems and cloud-based services including the use of private ‘on-premises’ identities in conjunction with public cloud services.
Practice Makes Perfect
Our work typically starts with a detailed audit of company assets being considered for migration to cloud-based services. An asset might be payroll data or R&D information, corporate login credentials or any element of data or process used by your business. We evaluate the asset (its value and sensitivity) then map it to potential cloud deployment models. We evaluate the potential cloud service models and providers and then map out the migration process. This work enables an informed decision about deploying the asset in ‘the cloud’ so that the advantages can be realised without putting the asset and your business at inappropriate risk.
Our team is made up of enthusiastic, dedicated and highly experienced specialists. Team leads have an average of 15 years’ security experience, team members at least 5 (and of course CISSP, CISA, CRISC accreditations as well as ISO27001, DPA, GDPR, GLBA and PCI DSS expertise).
