Create a robust cloud governance strategy Driving success and security in the cloud starts with a robust cloud governance posture. Effective cloud governance helps you run your business well and keep it safe from a number of avoidable risks. Start with an understanding how the four pillars of cloud governance — visibility, configuration, operations, and risk — affect the security of your cloud assets. AWS and Skyloop Cloud can help you develop best practices for continuously monitoring, assessing, and optimizing each pillar, and make cloud governance an integral part of your computing strategy.
