It is evident that companies are nowadays interested in embracing cloud practices in their enterprise environments.
But security concerns are hindering most of them from taking a forward step towards cloud computing. Increased cybersecurity threats and privacy regulations such as data protection laws are a few to name so.
Microsoft’s new playbook is designed in such a way that it will help all its partners optimize a security practice and understand why they should perform as per its guide’s recommend. The playbook has touched interesting concepts like strategy, hiring, training, operations, go-to-market and closing deals, optimizing and growing along with some additional resources from the case studies made by the Redmond Giant.
Hence, the Playbook of Microsoft can act as a guiding force to all the enterprise CTOs and CIOs who are still concerned in embracing the cloud due to security concerns.
