What Is Cloud Migration? A Guide to Strategy, Security, and AI Readiness

Cyber resilience is an organization's capacity to anticipate, withstand, recover from and adapt to cyberattacks while sustaining essential operations. It combines cybersecurity, business continuity and recovery so that when defenses fail, critical data and services are restored quickly, cleanly and with evidence that trust is intact.

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, data, and applications from digital attacks, unauthorized access, and disruption. It rests on the CIA triad and modern frameworks like NIST CSF 2.0, and now extends across the data and AI layers. With the 2025 global average breach cost at USD 4.44 million, it is an enterprise risk priority.

Backup as a service (BaaS) is cloud-based backup and recovery delivered and managed by a provider. It protects data across SaaS, cloud and on-premises systems, automates retention and enables fast, reliable recovery from ransomware, outages and human error without the cost of self-managed backup infrastructure.

Identity and access management (IAM) is the cybersecurity discipline that ensures the right human and non-human identities have the right access to the right resources at the right time. It rests on four core functions: authentication, authorization, administration, and auditing. As cloud adoption, distributed work, and AI expand the identity perimeter, IAM has become central to reducing risk, enforcing governance, and building resilience after an identity-related incident.

CloudOps, or cloud operations, is the practice of managing, automating, securing and optimizing workloads across cloud and hybrid environments. It applies operational discipline to keep cloud services available, compliant and cost-efficient, and it is now foundational to running AI workloads with confidence.

AI agent management is the discipline of governing an organization's entire AI agent estate across every cloud. It combines inventory, permissions, policy, observability, lifecycle control, and cost oversight. As AI adoption accelerates, governing agents at scale becomes a critical enterprise capability, providing the visibility, accountability, and control organizations need to innovate with confidence.
