| This guide examines the state of [[cloud computing]] and the security mechanisms inherent to it, especially in regards to how it relates to today's [[Laboratory|laboratories]]. While cloud computing and cloud-based applications can enhance the activities of many types of labs, a methodical and meticulous approach to [[cybersecurity]] is required to not only get the most out of a cloud solution but also mitigate future data catastrophes. This means understanding [[risk management]], regulatory considerations, deployment approaches, and the potential value of managed security services in the cloud. Additionally, the essential links between laboratory [[quality assurance]], the shared responsibility model, and cybersecurity in the lab are emphasized. Of course, it's also vital to understand what to look for in cloud providers, as well as how to approach finding them. In that regard, this guide adds value by more closely examining major public/hybrid cloud and managed security service providers (Appendix 1 and 2), as well as providing example request for information (RFI) templates for both provider types (Appendix 3). While this guide can prove useful to even non-laboratory organizations looking to dip into cloud services, it focuses heavily on laboratories implementing and updating information systems in the cloud.
