Security Aspects for cloud adoption

Hello Everyone, I am going to start a new series of blogs where I am going to create awareness about the various security issues/concerns/challenges that are being faced or security is being neglected during the cloud adoption process.
These days inspite of lot of awareness or attacks on various organizations, still sometimes security is being neglected during the process of cloud adoption and this seems to be the biggest mistake that companies do or due to budget constraints they delay these security activities and decrease the priority towards security. But overall this is one of the biggest mistakes that companies do to neglect the security aspects or decrease the security priority during cloud adoption phases.
This is very important that security should be considered before adopting the cloud and also after moving to the cloud to avoid any issues related that can be a roadblock or major risk in cloud adoption.
In major cases security is neglected due to budget issues, but I have seen many cases when they think about including the security at later stage then the expenses grow to large extent due to other issues or concerns. So its recommended the from day one, security should be kept at the same priority as other activities to avoid many issues related to regulations, compliance etc.
In this series, I will present the content what all security aspects should be considered during initial days of cloud adoption, what all should be considered before selecting the cloud service provider, what all things should be kept in mind about your existing security framework and based on all these consideration, creating a list of steps based on which target cloud service provider should be selected.
I will keep these blogs short to keep them interesting.

Thanks for reading the blog, I hope this will help you increasing your knowledge.
