When designing a security assessment strategy for a hybrid environment that includes both on-premises data centers and a public cloud deployment, which of the following is the most effective approach?
The same assessment methodology and tools should be used for both environments to ensure consistent and comparable results across the organization.
The assessment strategy must be tailored, using different tools and methodologies appropriate for the unique characteristics of both the on-premises and cloud environments.
The assessment should prioritize the on-premises environment, as the cloud provider is solely responsible for securing all aspects of the cloud portion.
The assessment should focus exclusively on the network connections between the two environments, as internal systems are managed by their respective controls.
The correct approach is to tailor the assessment strategy, using different tools and methodologies for the on-premises and cloud environments. Each environment has unique characteristics. Cloud environments have distinct features like the shared responsibility model, API-driven infrastructure, and specific compliance requirements from the provider, which demand specialized assessment techniques. On-premises assessments involve aspects like physical security and direct network access that differ from the cloud. A single, uniform methodology would fail to address the unique risks and security controls of each part of the hybrid architecture.
