  6. Key Benefits • Cost containment • Immediate provisioning (setting up) of resources • Servicer load balancing to maximize availability • Ability to dynamically adjust resources according to demand with little notice • Ability of the customer to focus on core competencies instead of devoting resources to IT operations • Mirrored solutions to minimize the risk of downtime

  7. Risk Areas • Identity management (if the organization’s identity management system is integrated with the cloud computing system) • Security incident management (to interface with and manage cloud computing incidents) • Network perimeter security (as an access point to the Internet) • Systems development (in which the cloud is part of the application infrastructure) • Project management • IT risk management • Data management (for data transmitted and stored on cloud systems) • Vulnerability management
