Migration is not only infrastructure movement
Cloud migration changes access, data flows, backup, monitoring, cost structure, security ownership, and incident response.
A rushed migration may move existing weaknesses into a more complex environment.
Important migration risks
Common risks include downtime, misconfigured access, missing backups, exposed storage, weak logging, unclear rollback plans, cost spikes, and application performance issues.
Cloud migration should include risk assessment, workload classification, architecture review, security baseline, and migration testing.
Controls that reduce risk
Strong controls include least privilege access, network segmentation, encryption, backup validation, monitoring, cost alerts, change control, and disaster recovery planning.
