Make your team more relevant
Your organisation wants the benefits of cloud, but at an acceptable risk. When considering these risks, your team needs to be a business enabler instead of the “department of no”. This requires a common understanding across functions of the basic concepts of secure cloud adoption.
Without this common understanding, your organisation will fall behind in its secure cloud adoption.
Secure cloud adoption requires a core team of certified cloud security professionals (see CCSK). You will also need a broader foundational common understanding of cloud computing in the organisation.
Teamwork
Understand that your cloud adoption teams span across architecture, legal, security, procurement, operations and selected business unit professionals. They need to speak a common core language. If they don’t, your cloud adoption program will limp along and be a boat anchor to your innovation ambitions.
Secure Cloud Adoption Workshop
My Secure Cloud Adoption Workshop is designed to jumpstart your organization. It is a modular workshop that can serve as an introduction to cloud computing. The emphasis is on security and risk management, and it is aimed at senior professionals across your organization. After this workshop, some people will appreciate the deeper dive that is in CCSK.

- Size: up to several dozen participants.
- Format: On-site, but thanks to Covid NOW also available ONLINE.
This is a varied and interactive program, with lots of activity from the participants. Most of the exercises are done in groups of 2-3.
