		+	The cloud makes it easier than ever for teams within the organization to develop their own systems and deploy assets with a single click. While this promotes innovation and productivity, it can also cause issues like:<ref>[https://www.imperva.com/learn/data-security/cloud-governance/ Imperva ] What is Cloud Governance?</ref>
		+
		+	* Poor integration between cloud systems, even within the same organization
		+	* Duplication of effort or data between different parts of the organization
		+	* Lack of alignment between cloud systems and business goals
		+	* New security issues—for example, the risk of deploying cloud systems with weak or lacking access control
		+
		+	Cloud governance ensures that asset deployment, system integration, data security, and other aspects of cloud computing are properly planned, considered, and managed. It is highly dynamic, because cloud systems can be created and maintained by different groups in the organization, involve third-party vendors, and can change on a daily basis.

		+	Cloud governance initiatives ensure this complex environment meets organizational policies, security best practices and compliance obligations.
		+
		+	Cloud governance can benefit an organization running critical services in the cloud:
		+
		+	* Improves Cloud Resource Management
		+	* Reduces Shadow IT
		+	* Reduces Administrative Overhead
		+	* Improves Cloud Security Issues
