Summary:
The paper is about protecting corporate information in the cloud, it describes how the cloud is increasingly used and the IT managers of the companies should make sure where the information stored and who is accessing it and, they mentioned the correlation engine which will track all data changes and suspect any misuse or access.
At the end, the paper showed the importance to use cloud security in which Symantec solutions is one of the clear choices (Symantec Corporation, 2015).
Quality of the Research:
It’s rather than research, it is concept paper in which Symantec highlight the use of the cloud and the security issues around it. It discussed very clearly the 3 keys that cloud security relies on which are identity protection, data protection and correlation engine.
Quality of Presentation:
Even though the white paper presented to market Symantec solutions and products but it contains a very important and helpful information to the reader to understand the security related to the cloud and how the cloud is the new generation which no one can live without it as many applications nowadays running in the cloud.
Additional Notes:
It gives a real-world example showed how cloud security works, in my opinion it is very interesting to know specially about correlation engine.
