We all know the benefits of the cloud are many, including less expensive ways to store data, the scalability of big data platforms, and an advanced tool kit with many AI and machine learning tools (data and machine learning operations.) Risk and information security professionals still have many concerns about cloud data security, including adequate staffing and configuration expertise to make broad-scale use of cloud data a reality. There is often confusion about the current software stack and the scope of their cloud capabilities (on-prem versus cloud), further complicating the maze of issues surrounding using data in the cloud.
Chief data officers should be joined at the hip with chief technology officers and information security professionals to allow the migration of analytics data to the cloud and provide configuration of access tools (i.e. MS, Azure, or AWS).
The Challenge
Bigstock
- Chief risk officers have fears of data breaches. However, many may not be familiar with the latest cloud data security protocols and technologies that allow for creating highly secure data zones.
- Information security departments are often woefully understaffed versus other parts of IT. They lack the skillsets and talent to configure newer tools to set up security protocols and controls for getting data to cloud and allowing access.
- Other IT departments may similarly lack configuration and API skills for secure cloud tool integration.
- Vendors are focused on matching the business problem to the software solution but may neglect to mention the level of skills needed for proper deployment.
Recommended Solutions
Bigstock
- Bring your risk and compliance teams early in software or technology purchase decisions.
- Collaborate with information security to map the implementation journey before proceeding with large-scale cloud-based data science deployments.
- Before buying new cloud-based big data platforms or ML and DataOps tools, create a data science and cloud data literacy program. Most data literacy programs focus on data quality and governance but lack a focus on data science and cloud big data tools. Such a program should include curriculum or learning paths for cloud data security.
- Ensure the business case for new cloud tools includes the total cost of ownership, including the best fit-for-purpose resource costs for the first five years post-deployment. This is a journey, and the right skill sets are essential for each journey.
- Consider whether your market has the right talent pool to run your selected cloud ecosystem. Ensure Information Security has the right skillsets to configure and deploy the tools.
- Vendors will provide rapid cycle training, but the business must understand these programs and how quickly their team members will come up to speed.
- Understand what anonymization and generative AI solutions are available, which also help protect data in the cloud.
- Create an identity graph and keying system of standard identifiers to help protect data and ensure restricted data types are secured.
- Establish a cloud data risk committee and map all potential risks and controls to be implemented across all functional areas (i.e. information security, data science, technology, etc.) to understand the unique issues related to AI/analytics in the cloud.
- Data scientists must map out their use cases, explaining the analytics and data matching to be performed:
- Transaction analysis
- Network analysis
- Sentiment analysis
- Risk analysis
I hope this post helps frame some of the issues and recommended solutions. I look forward to your thoughts and any additions you might have.

Rather than ignore the problem or act on your instincts, you should learn how to stop being attracted to someone at work. Here are 10 tips for handling the lust genie and putting her back in the bottle where she belongs:
1. Acknowledge The Problem
The first step in dealing with attraction at work is to acknowledge the problem. In all likelihood, you have pushed these feelings to the side of your mind. Unfortunately, they are sitting there fermenting and probably deepening.
Bringing your feelings to the top of your to-do list will help you logically deal with them. In cases of workplace attraction, you are going to need every ounce of Dr. Spock you can muster.
2. Talk To A Friend About Your Love Dilemma
Bigstock
You should absolutely talk to a friend about your work crush, preferably to someone who is not employed by the same company, your spouse, or the target of your attraction.
Talking about your feelings is another way of acknowledging the problem. In addition, you will acquire an ally who will help you cope with the issue.
3. Get A Copy Of Your Company's Rules And Regulations From HR
Bigstock
Reading the black and white company policy about what can happen if you act on your attraction is sometimes enough to change those feelings of amore into slight sickness whenever you see the person.
4. Realize You Might Be The Target Of Manipulation
Bigstock
In the world of business, there are many ways to get ahead. Some people have learned that ignoring office etiquette and company rules about relationships is a quick way to gain a competitive edge. It's very difficult, but try to realistically evaluate the skills of the other person.
Have they earned their position through brilliance, dedication, and hard work? Or did they just sort of miraculously appear?
5. Acknowledge: “The Grass Is Always Greener"
Bigstock
Maybe your home life isn't as blissful as it could be. This doesn't mean that acting on your instincts with the person at work is going to be the dream relationship.
That possible relationship might be better, but in all likelihood you will be exchanging one set of problems for another.
6. Realize Your Brain Can Play Tricks On You
Bigstock
In love with your boss? Have you ever heard of Stockholm syndrome? People in positions of power are often attractive even if they are absolutely horrible.
7. Understand The Consequences
Bigstock
Romance at work (even between consenting single adults) often translates into negative repercussions. It can create sordid rumors and much worse.
If you truly have found the love of your life, get proactive about moving jobs or changing departments so you can continue your romance without worry.
Not willing to do that? Maybe this isn't the "one."
8. Set Clear And Safe Boundaries For Yourself
Bigstock
This will make coping much easier. Social decorum dictates that most intimacy doesn't occur in the presence of others. Design strategies that remove direct and private contact with the person.
Whenever possible, interact with the person only when there are other people around. This will prevent intimacy and, with luck, the workplace crush will fade.
9. Improve Your Home Life And/Or Add Extracurricular Activities
Bigstock
So many of us get absolutely absorbed in work. It is our lives. When this is the case, it is perfectly natural to look for affection and intimacy at work. Make your social life outside of work a priority.
Once other people enter your life, the attraction for that colleague often disappears.
10. Don't Try To Deal With The Issue With The Object Of Your Affection
Bigstock
This approach rarely leads to a happy ending.
First, if the attraction is mutual, the crush will likely escalate into a full-blown affair. Second, if the attraction is not mutual, you face rejection and possibly a sexual harassment lawsuit.
We are all human and human interaction is sexual. Having a crush or being attracted to a co-worker is natural. But natural doesn't necessarily make it good for you!
Use these 10 tips to fight attraction in the workplace, because most of the time it isn't worth the risk.
