The Defense Department’s information technology arm has unveiled a guide for defense and military space planning a move to the cloud.
It is released by the Defense Information Systems Agency, the guide is aimed at DOD “mission owners” wanting to migrate an existing information system from a physical environment to a virtualized cloud environment.
The framework is based on real-world cloud pilot efforts within DOD. The contents are not official DOD policies, security requirement guides or security technical implement guides, but rather “a collection of best practices discovered during the DOD
It contains a short intro to the cloud, impact-level requirements, a breakdown of available cloud services and a detailed section dedicated to understanding shared security responsibility within the cloud – vital reading considering the recent data breach headlines.
Comment from TheSecurePlanet - This is a good 23 pager reference document for Best Practices. It is worth a download & review.
