What is cloud security?

Cloud security is a collection of procedures and technology designed to address external and internal threats to business security. Organizations need cloud security as they move toward their digital transformation strategy and incorporate cloud-based tools and services as part of their infrastructure.

Increased Attack Surface

The public cloud environment has become a large and highly attractive attack surface for hackers who exploit poorly secured cloud ingress ports in order to access and disrupt workloads and data in the cloud. Malware, Zero-Day, Account Takeover and many other malicious threats have become a day-to-day reality.

Lack of Visibility

In the IaaS model, the cloud providers have full control over the infrastructure layer and do not expose it to their customers. The lack of visibility and control is further extended in the PaaS and SaaS cloud models.

Ever-Changing Workloads

Cloud assets are provisioned and decommissioned dynamically—at scale and at velocity.

DevOps, DevSecOps

Organizations that have embraced the highly automated DevOps CI/CD culture must ensure that appropriate security controls are embedded in code early in the development cycle.

Privilege and Key Management

Often cloud user roles are configured very loosely, granting extensive privileges beyond what is intended or required.

Complex Environments

Managing security in hybrid and multicloud environments requires tools that work seamlessly across public, private cloud, and on-premise deployments.

Misconfigurations

A substantial portion of breached records can be attributed to misconfigured assets, making the inadvertent insider a key issue for cloud computing environments.

Why is cloud security important?

In modern-day enterprises, there has been a growing transition to cloud-based environments and IaaS, Paas or SaaS computing models. The dynamic nature of infrastructure management, especially in scaling applications and services, can bring a number of challenges to enterprises when adequately resourcing their departments. These as-a-service models give organizations the ability to offload many of the time-consuming, IT-related tasks.

Data Access Challenges

Monitoring who accesses data in cloud environments, especially outside corporate networks, is difficult.

Shared Cloud Infrastructure Risks

Public cloud environments hosting multiple clients can expose services to risks from attacks on other businesses.

Managing Cloud Access

Controlling access to cloud systems is harder than on-premises, especially without BYOD policies.

Compliance Challenges

Compliance with data regulations can be confusing in hybrid clouds, even with third-party tools.

Custom Security Protocols

Expert support is available to implement custom security measures and standards.

Misconfigurations Risk

Misconfigured assets, such as default passwords, are a common cause of security breaches in cloud environments.
