The cloud has made many processes straightforward. The pace of expansion and the ease of introducing new services make it attractive. But, these advantages come with complexity, especially from the security standpoint.

Therefore, it is critical to make everyone's activities in the digital space as secure as possible. Consequently, companies must focus on mitigating security risks and building trust with their clients and consumers.

In this episode of Cloud Security Reinvented, our host Andy Ellis welcomes Allison Miller, the VP of Trust at Reddit. Allison and Andy discuss the differences between the on-premise and cloud era, the best and worst practices of on-premise, and the opportunities for growth in the cloud.

Key Insights

⚡It all comes down to data. Protecting data is at the core of cybersecurity. But, as Allison explains, you need to use and analyze data to protect it. So, it all starts and ends with the information at your disposal.

''It's always been about the data. It's been about the bits and bytes; it's been about the packets. But now, data is not just what we protect. Using data, we designed the protective layers; it's through our ability to process, classify, and analyze [...] that we are able to protect our data and our automation.''

⚡The cloud introduced both ease and complexity. According to Allison, the critical characteristic of the cloud is how quickly it can expand and the ease of introducing new services. But, paradoxically, that ease introduces complexity.

''The cloud has allowed scale, but the scale has got complexity, and complexity is the enemy of security in a lot of ways.''

⚡ We’re yet to see how technology will grow. No one could predict the extent of advancement in technology. But here we are, living in the cloud era, and, as Allison says, everything is possible.

''What I was excited about and that got me here — what else can we do? Can we save the planet? Maybe we'll make our next planet out of the garbage and then launch it into space. The creativity that we have, that we have empowered the world with, that we continue to launch, and the consequences of that too, of course, but I remain hopeful that we're going to continue to build great things and find our way.''
