Exploring The Cloud Has To Do With Economics Rather Than Technology By:- Samrat Das

Use and Implementation of Cloud in business
Exploring the cloud has to do with economics rather than technology. The cost of implementing a technology in the enterprise is weighed against its effectiveness to bring forth the decision making abilities in the important matters.

When it comes to implementing, the production stage of the technological solution is closely monitored, which gives more security in terms of managing intrinsic confidential data of the enterprises.

Building an effective DLP programme
We already have a very effective DLP programme. The business that we are into now, the only asset we have is information. Data is the key. As the custodian of the data, the information security head has to make sure that there is no leakage of the data intentionally or unintentionally.

The DLP programme that we have examines every outgoing mail, and if it finds that mail could be a threat, it sends an alert message to the supervisor and the manager about the content of the mail. Later the manger has to draft an explanation to the CIO on the content and intent of the mail.

So the whole internal governance works together to secure the most vulnerable part of the enterprises— the Finance Sector.

Ensuring Social Media as an asset for business
I see social media as asset and I don’t think at any point of time, it could be a threat. We are using it for reverse customer feedback by leveraging the social media to get to know the sound bytes. If you see from the lenses of the customers, you can see what sound bytes are trending on the different social media. Automatically it gives us the feedback on what people perceive about organization, products and services.

Maximizing the cost efficiency for information security
We have a information security programme from an IT level to the level of MD of the company. The IT charts which are set by the MD leads to more buying and so there is more cost effectiveness.

Mobile devices to minimize threat, loss and risk
We are embarking on to MBM Solutions to ensure that there is no potential threat or leakage cased by the most popular trend, mobility.
