Cloud Governance: Basics and Practice (Professors of Practice Series)

Cloud computing is at the vanguard of the Metaverse-driven digital transformation. As a result, the cloud is ubiquitous; emerging as a mandate for organizations spanning size, sectors, and geographies. Cloud Governance: Basics and Practice brings to life the diverse range of opportunities and risks associated with governing the adoption and enterprise-wide use of the cloud. Corporate governance is uniquely disrupted by the cloud; exacerbating existing risks, and creating new and unexpected operational, cybersecurity, and regulatory risks. The cloud further extends the enterprise’s reliance on cloud service providers (CSPs), fueling an urgent need for agile and resilient business and IT strategies, governance, enterprise risk management (ERM), and new skills. This book discusses how the cloud is uniquely stressing corporate governance. Cloud Governance is a user-friendly practical reference guide with chapter-based self-assessment questions. The chapters in this book are interconnected and centered in a cloud governance ecosystem. This book will guide teachers, students and professionals as well as operational and risk managers, auditors, consultants and boards of directors. Events around the bookLink to a De Gruyter online event where authors Steven Mezzio & Meredith Stein discuss the interplay of cloud computing and corporate governance functions with Jacqueline de Rojas, president of techUK and chair of the board of Digital Leaders. The event will be moderated by Richard Freeman, founder and CEO of always possible:https://youtu.be/orPwKKcPVsY
