Highlights
00:47 — When it comes to cloud security, most organizations tend to focus on technical solutions, like firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and encryption. These measures are important, but they’re only part of the picture.
01:38 — Not everyone has a technical background or the same level of understanding of the risks associated with cloud security. One way to communicate the risks to others is by using analogies to relate to their area of expertise. For example, cloud security can be related to managing an inventory in a warehouse.
02:29 — Another approach is to use real-world examples of the consequences of security breaches. You can talk about reputational damage, legal and financial costs, and the loss of customer trust that can result from a security breach.
02:54 — In conclusion, when you speak about cloud security, you need to frame the conversation in terms of business outcomes. That way you can better understand the value of the information you are protecting, prioritize your resources, and engage your stakeholders across the business.
