Ensure your teams are equipped with the right security tools for their cloud environment. The right solution can safeguard your organization’s sensitive data and apps, and protect your hybrid and multi-cloud ecosystems. When selecting a solution, consider platform compatibility, feature set, accuracy, compliance adherence, integration capabilities, and cost-effectiveness.

The pandemic has shifted many companies to remote work, and this massive shift hasn’t gone unnoticed by cybercriminals and bad actors who are now using it as an opportunity. Whether it’s malware or ransomware attacks, attackers are exploiting people, their devices, and the increased reliance on the cloud to access company data.

While the responsibility of securing data in the cloud varies depending on the type of service, it’s important for IT to clearly define where their responsibility starts and ends. The security risks of the cloud are augmented by factors like multi-tenancy (where a single client’s activities may impact other tenants), dynamically scaled environments, and the rapid onset of new vulnerabilities and malware that can be difficult to patch.

To mitigate these risks, it’s essential to implement identity and access management policies and encryption at rest and in transit. This includes post-quantum cryptographic algorithms that secure against the growing threat of quantum computing. It’s also helpful to use security information and event management (SIEM) tools to help detect, analyze, and respond to threats that impact your cloud environment. This can make regulatory audits easier and reduce the risk of exposure to sensitive data.
