CASP+ Definitions: ‘Cloud to on Premises’

“Cloud to on-premises” is a term used to describe the connection between an organization’s cloud-based resources and its on-premises infrastructure. It refers to the integration of cloud-based services, applications, and resources with an organization’s traditional on-premises infrastructure.

In terms of cybersecurity, connecting cloud-based resources with on-premises infrastructure can pose security risks, as the two environments may have different security configurations and controls. Therefore, it is important to ensure that proper security measures are in place to secure the connection and data flow between the cloud and on-premises resources. This may include the use of encryption, access controls, and monitoring tools to detect and respond to any security incidents.
