Enterprise Transformation Projects-Cloud Transformation Concept Holistic Security Integration (CTC-HSI)
Author:
Abstract: This chapter presents the fundaments of the Cloud Transformation Concept (CTC) and this concept is a basic component of the author’s transformation framework and in complex transformation projects, where a holistic security concept is a top priority. The implementation of CTC’s Holistic Security Integration (CTCHSI) is supported by the author’s Applied Holistic Mathematical Model (AHMM) for CTC (AHMM4CTC) and his various research works on Holistic Security Integration (HSI), Business Process Management (BPM), Artificial Intelligence (AI), AI Services (AIS), Compute Services (CS), Mathematical Models, cross-functional transformations projects. The AHMM4CTC is based on cross-functional research on an authentic and proprietary mixed research method supported by his own version of an AI learning model, a search tree, combined with an internal heuristic algorithm. In this chapter, the focus is on CTC-HSI’s integration concepts, requirements, services, data management, and corresponding transformation security strategies. The proposed AHMM4CTC-based CTC-HSI is a concept for secured environments, which use real-life cases of a transformation project, which needs scalable and secured Cloud Platform’s (CP) infrastructure and services layer, that are supported by the alignment of CP services, standards, enterprise architecture paradigm, and security development strategies. In a CP-based transformation project, the author recommends integrating a Private CP (PCP); which can use commercial CPs like the Google CP (GCP). The GCP was chosen as a sample CP, but there is a need to define a standardized security architecture and concept/procedures so that the organization builds its own CTC-HSI-based PCP and has to avoid locked-in commercial products.
