As part of Solutions Review\u2019s Premium Content Series\u2014a collection of contributed columns written by industry experts in maturing software categories\u2014 Christopher Prewitt of Inversion6<\/a> takes us through the five <\/strong><\/em>pillars every IT security team should have to hold up their castle in the cloud.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

And yet, some things do not change. A successful IT security strategy still begins with a solid assessment of your operating environment and your risks, so you can properly align your IT investments. Businesses come in all shapes and sizes, but most share the same modern risks.<\/p>\n
