Case Study 2 – Evaluating Security Protocols in Leading Cloud Service Providers
Background: Information
Organizations increasingly rely on cloud service providers (CSPs) for their computing needs in today’s digital landscape. Leading CSPs such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offer various services, but security remains a core concern for businesses entrusting their data to the cloud. Understanding the providers’ security protocols is vital for organizations to ensure data integrity, privacy, and compliance.
Scenario
A mid-sized healthcare company, HealthTech Solutions, plans to migrate its patient records and research data to a cloud service provider. The company is particularly concerned about securing sensitive health information and complying with regulations such as HIPAA. Before making a decision, the IT team is tasked with evaluating the security protocols of four major cloud service providers: Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, and Google Cloud Platform.
Directions
As an IT team member, you are expected to analyze and identify the key security protocols and features associated with each of the following cloud service providers. You should also evaluate how these protocols address the specific needs of HealthTech Solutions regarding data security, compliance, and risk management.
Prepare a comparison table highlighting key features related to security, compliance, and risk management.
Questions to consider that may help prepare your comparison table
1. Amazon AWS
What security protocols does AWS utilize to protect data at rest and in transit?
How does AWS ensure compliance with healthcare-specific regulations such as HIPAA?
Describe the identity and access management (IAM) features provided by AWS.
2. Microsoft Azure
Identify the security measures Azure employs to secure virtual machines and databases.
What tools does Azure provide for monitoring, detecting, and responding to security threats?
Discuss how Azure meets compliance requirements for healthcare organizations.
3. IBM Cloud
Outline the encryption protocols used by IBM Cloud for protecting sensitive data.
How does IBM Cloud support multi-factor authentication (MFA) and identity governance?
Describe any industry-specific offerings that IBM Cloud has for healthcare companies.
4. Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
What security features does GCP implement to ensure data integrity and confidentiality?
How does GCP’s security model assist in meeting regulatory compliance?
Explain the role of Google’s security tools, such as Cloud Security Command Center, in managing risks.
