An organization is moving away from an on-premises infrastructure. Instead, they want to create, access, and share information virtually in the cloud. What should the organization consider?

Cloud environments operate under a shared responsibility model where the provider secures the underlying infrastructure, but the organization must secure its data, access controls, and configurations. Considering built-in security features - such as encryption at rest and in transit, identity management, and audit logging - is critical during migration to ensure data is protected from the moment it enters the cloud.

Perimeter security and encryption keys serve different purposes; replacing perimeter controls entirely with encryption keys creates security gaps rather than resolving them.

Cloud adoption shifts spending from capital expenditure to operational expenditure, so advocating a CapEx model contradicts a core cloud financial benefit.

Cloud migrations reduce reliance on physical hardware; organizations need less hardware capacity, not more, when moving workloads to the cloud.
