Course Overview
This is the second of three levels in the Arascina Cloud Necessities Program™ aimed at upskilling non-techies in cloud. You will build on your previous cloud skills by learning how to review a cloud migration proposal and assess it from an architectural, risk, security, compliance, privacy and regulatory perspective.
In the practical project, you will write up a cloud assessment for a cloud migration proposal in a given industry or company of your choice, fit for presentation to a Steering Committee or a Regulator.
As companies seek to move functions to the cloud, non-techies should be across how this affects their business unit and the implications this can have to their risk and security postures. Regulated businesses face further supervision and scrutiny over how they are overseeing and assessing their risk profiles when adopting these cloud changes. It is thus imperative to make assessments to enable informed decision-making within strategic and risk appetites.
