UniSA: Strategy for Cloud-Provided Email System Implementation

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the strategy for implementing a cloud-provided email system. It begins by outlining the pros and cons of such a system, including improved content filtering, higher storage availability, and easier disaster recovery, while also addressing concerns about data security and potential disruptions due to poor internet connectivity. The report then delves into a risk analysis, identifying potential data leaks, vulnerabilities in data transmission and storage, and the need for robust password management. Stakeholder issues, such as vendor selection and cost considerations, are also discussed. Finally, the report offers recommendations for secure implementation, including the implementation of a strong email security policy, selection of a reputable cloud service provider, implementation of encryption and multi-factor authentication. The goal is to create a secure and effective cloud-based email system for the University of South Australia.
