Cloud Security – Protect Your Data and Applications in a Hosted Environment
Cloud Security is the set of practices, solutions and technologies that safeguard your data and applications in a hosted environment. This includes ensuring the security of your storage, network, and identity. Your cloud environment must be protected from malware, vulnerabilities and unauthorized access in order to avoid costly disruptions to your business.
Secure your cloud environment with an effective strategy that focuses on the following key components:
Data Protection: Encrypting and protecting at rest and in transit ensures sensitive information stays safe from unauthorized access or breaches. It also helps to protect against internal or external threats that target cloud databases, applications and workloads.
Security Monitoring: Perform routine vulnerability scans and monitor for unauthorized activity across your entire cloud environment to detect any anomalies and take proactive action. This includes identifying misconfigurations (such as open storage buckets) and reducing the risk of cloud security incidents with stricter access controls.
Compliance: Ensure that any services and systems used in the cloud meet your industry’s specific guidelines and regulations, including those for data privacy, security protocols and localization laws. This is often an IT challenge that requires a collaboration between the cloud provider and the customer.
Unified Detection and Response: Reduce the risk of cyberattacks with an AI-driven platform that provides continuous visibility into your multicloud ecosystem, automatically correlating threat intelligence and cloud activity across multiple sensors to identify attacks in real time. This includes remote code execution, malware, crypto-mining and lateral movement, privilege escalation and container escape.
