Today, Cloud providers allow individuals (maybe your employees) to create powerful computing environments, in the cloud, by creating their own virtual, private machines.   Can your DLP solution detect this?

"Organizations must be attentive to the risks associated with the availability of these private cloud services, whether they choose to move to the cloud or not" 

Cloud providers allow individuals (maybe your employees) to create powerful computing environments, in the cloud, by creating their own virtual, private machines.  Users may choose from a wide variety of Operating Systems such as, any flavor of Windows, Unix or other Virtual Machines (VM).  It takes only minutes for these individual, private computers to be created in a virtual environment.

When such machines are available, individuals may copy data from their own home or work machine to their virtual "cloud" machine by Copy & Paste or Drag & Drop.  Such actions are mostly done utilizing the HTTPS protocol but often we see Cloud providers using Secure RDP. 

The Problem - "Bring Your Own Cloud" (BYOC)

These private virtual environments create a vast problem for organizations as there is no visibility to such protocols.  Employees can now just copy/backup their entire C drive to these private, virtual cloud repositories within a few minutes. 

"Cloud computing has many benefits to the enterprise; nevertheless, organizations must be attentive to the risks associated with the availability of these cloud computing services, whether they choose to move to the cloud or not." says Wendy Cohen, GTB Technologies Vice President.
