I work at a Big Corp Inc. This is unfortunately not the case here. The person you replied to is correct in how our security team sees things.
- kbutler 9y agoI've been amazed at the reversal in my employer's attitude and policies, from everything must be internal, to move everything goes to the cloud. Not sure how much to attribute to C-level staff turnover.
- ethbro 9y agokbutler's experience to the counter has been mine at well. I moved to Big Company, Inc, and have been amazed at how smooth the "cloud" security conversations go to "on prem." One of the major factors seems to be standardization. Once security has blessed a cloud provider, they're blessing the infrastructure and features, so the blessing holds for most projects that might want to use it. In contrast to getting approval for a semi-custom config on-prem. Caveat: I'm not working with privileged data (gov or healthcare) anymore, so those considerations aren't influencing the behavior. Imagine HIPAA shops would be a lot more conservative.
