Cloud Security

Let Cover Cloud Security Deeper Than Anyone. Because It Demands It.

You move to the cloud. Did your security move with you? Cloud environments are powerful, scalable, and misconfigured more often than anyone admits.

What Is Cloud Security

Cloud security is the set of policies, controls, and technologies that protect cloud-based systems, data, and infrastructure.

3 Pillars of Cloud Security

The Practical Cloud Breaches Rarely Happen

Misconfiguration Is the Number One Risk

A storage bucket is set to public. An API endpoint is left open. A security group rule that’s too permissive.

Identities With Too Much Access

Overprivileged roles, unused service accounts, and unchecked API keys are the most common starting points for cloud-based attacks.

No One Is Watching the Logs

In the absence of monitoring and alerting, as well as detecting anomalies, a perpetrator could be in a cloud environment for weeks before it feels like something is amiss.

The Key Concepts of Cloud Security

Shared Responsibility Model

The division of security obligations between the cloud provider and the customer — misunderstanding this is where most gaps begin

IAM — Identity & Access Management

A system that defines the (merging) entities and what they are allowed to do, and also where and when they can do it regarding the cloud resources.

CSPM — Cloud Security Posture Management

Tools that continuously scan cloud environments for misconfigurations and compliance violations.

CWPP — Cloud Workload Protection

Security controls focused on protecting the actual workloads — VMs, containers, and serverless functions, running in the cloud.

Encryption in Transit & At Rest

Ensuring data is encrypted both while stored in cloud systems and while moving between them.

Zero Trust in the Cloud

Applying continuous verification to every user, device, and service request — regardless of where it originates.
