The Canadian government’s ongoing effort to adopt the public cloud took another step forward this summer with the help of Microsoft and AWS, representing a “massive leap of faith” in cloud security, according to Peter Melanson, director of federal sales at Microsoft Canada.
“We’re talking about internal workloads of government data…things like human resources systems and financial systems,” he said, referring to the types of workloads the federal government is moving to public cloud.
These workloads fall under the Protected B classification, which according to the Department of Justice, is described as “information where unauthorized disclosure could cause serious injury to an individual, organization or government.” Protected B includes medical information, information protected by solicitor-client or litigation privilege, or received in confidence from other government departments and agencies.
