Global Cloud Trends

More than $1 trillion* in IT spending will be directly or indirectly affected by the shift to cloud
during the next five years
Shift From Traditional IT Spending to Cloud
 Cloud-first strategies are the
foundation for staying relevant in
a fast-paced world

 Cloud service providers have


more effective security systems
and robust platforms than most

Importance of cloud regulation in Saudi Arabia
Lack of National cloud directive, National strategy, policies and regulations to accelerate wide
spread cloud adoption

Lack of clear policies and guidelines to address potential risks in the area of data classification,
confidentiality, sovereignty

Most government entities have their own data centers with limited adoption of cloud services
causing inefficiencies

Several IT vendors are moving towards offering their services through cloud rather than
traditional on premise model

Telcos are investing in ICT infrastructure and some forms of cloud computing (mainly web
hosting, co-location and email)

Necessity for more advanced ICT infrastructure to cope up with the digital agenda of the
Kingdom including reliable connectivity and better service quality

• Enforce appropriate security policies and mechanisms such as encryption,
intrusion detection appliance, identity protection and verification, Data
loss prevention tools
• Cloud consumers must classify the data and enforce the relevant security
controls to ensure data security
• Perform an assessment of their applications before migrating to cloud
 Security, Privacy & Audit Compliance Controls of Cloud Consumer
• Compliance to Acceptable usage policy
• OS Hardening, Port blocking, Patch management, vulnerability
assessment, Antivirus/Malware/Spyware, Hardware security module
• Compliance with regulatory obligations (FISMA, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and
SOX)
• Periodic Auditing, Remove redundant and orphan accounts
 Authentication & Access Control Management
• Multifactor authentication, Single Sign On, Secure tokens, certificates,
Role based Access Control, Policy based authorization, Access Control List
 Data Persistence and Destruction
• Data lifecycle, Data sanitization policies,
• Follow NIST SP 800-88 media erasure guidelines 34

Data Exchange on Commercial Social Media
 Strong Privacy and Data Protection Laws to be in place
which includes handling personal data in social media
with policies such as a social media usage policy

 Strong Data Controller will keep a check on personal


information of customer being published

 Ensure individual consumer data must be used for the


designated purpose only

 National Data Protector to be present who can notify the


individual consumer during personal data security
breach

 Additional controls must apply to the use of information  As social media demands 24*7 interactions, some
relating to an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, responsiveness criteria may be defined and a dedicated
religious beliefs, political opinions, trade union team may be put in place to monitor and respond
membership, health or criminal record
