Cloud Security actively safeguards your company’s sensitive information and critical systems from the many ever-evolving threats that can threaten it. Without it, your organization risks significant financial losses, damage to your brand reputation, and legal repercussions.

The most common threat vectors to Cloud Security include malicious outside hackers, internal insiders, and compromised third parties. These threats can compromise cloud infrastructure components, expose customer data to unauthorized users, and cause disruptions or data breaches in your company.

Authentication: This pillar verifies that a user or system is who they say they are by using mechanisms like passwords, multi-factor authentication, and biometrics to identify and authorize users to access resources. Authorization also includes granting and restricting permissions to the appropriate level for each user.

Infrastructure protection: This pillar includes securing the underlying physical infrastructure of the cloud service. This can include firewalls, securing servers and endpoints, and hardening virtual machines or containers.

Data protection: This pillar safeguards data at rest and in transit by using techniques such as encryption, tokenization, and data masking. It also includes data classification and managing data flows within the cloud.

Lastly, cloud security includes monitoring and managing the configuration of all cloud resources for proper compliance. This includes assessing them against built-in or customized standards and frameworks to detect misconfigurations and automatically remediate them. A solution such as Wiz CNAPP uses a unified risk engine to provide complete visibility into your cloud security posture and prioritizes risks so that you can respond quickly and efficiently.
