What is Cloud Security?
Cloud Security protects data, applications and infrastructure in a cloud environment. It includes a combination of policies, tools and solutions that support your organization’s secure deployment of apps, workloads and cloud data.
Encryption: Encrypting data at rest, in transit and even during collaboration helps to prevent unauthorized access by service providers, administrators and hackers. It’s especially important to encrypt data that moves between public and private clouds, as well as when connecting to external resources (like OT/IoT devices).
Frictionless: A frictionless approach to security is one that doesn’t slow down your business processes or make it difficult for users to work effectively. It incorporates policies and tools that balance security with usability, and a focus on protecting your data against phishing attacks and other cyber threats without interrupting business as usual.
Visibility: A good cloud security solution provides visibility into your cloud environment, including asset inventory and proven frameworks for assessing and managing risk. It should also include anomaly detection, privileged access management and malware prevention capabilities.
Compliance: It’s critical to manage compliance requirements, and a good cloud security solution should help to identify vulnerabilities and ensure that your security posture aligns with your regulatory obligations.
CASBs are a powerful tool for addressing these challenges, and CrowdStrike offers industry-leading threat intelligence and cloud-native controls to safeguard your organization’s apps, workloads, and data. It also provides visibility into your cloud environment to detect and mitigate threats before they impact your business.
