Secure Lift-and-Shift Cloud Migration

Maintain a Secure & Compliant Cloud Storage Environment Throughout Your Cloud Journey

Lift-and-shift cloud migrations allow organizations to take advantage of cloud infrastructure with minimal changes to their current environment – enabling faster adoption of cloud and reducing time to value.

However, lift-and-shift migrations are not without their challenges. Often, the intricacies involved in recreating storage systems and applications in the cloud can result in non-compliant configurations and lack of adherence to security best practices.

These weaknesses can be exploited by malicious actors, thereby exposing the organizations to significant risks – including data breaches, compliance violations, and operational disruptions, which undermine the benefits of cloud adoption.
