Resiliency and recovery are timely topics in telecommunications. As societies rely on communication networks for critical services at an increasing rate, and technologies evolve based on the assumption of reliable services supported by reliable networks, extreme high reliability is necessary. Networks must therefore provide higher amounts of service at higher quality, all while being resilient and recovering swiftly. Cost constraints, new attack vectors, and network disasters all have to be addressed with resiliency and recovery mechanisms.
Risk assessment (RA) use cases for cloud computing platforms are presented in the context of an ISO 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS) developed for Alcohol Monitoring Systems (AMS) across a portfolio of products and services. This talk and paper present risk management techniques for implementing an ISO 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS) governing cloud computing in multiple deployment models (public cloud, hybrid cloud, community cloud, international cloud).
