The vast majority of businesses rely on the cloud to back up important files, develop and test software applications, and serve customers. As the volume of data stored in the cloud grows, so do the risks of cyberattacks and breaches.

Unlike on-premises environments that rely on physical hardware and office firewalls, secure cloud infrastructure requires active security management. It is critical to understand the shared responsibility model and implement strong identity access control (IAM) policies, multi-factor authentication, and least privilege to reduce unauthorized access risk and contain breaches.

Successful infiltrations of cloud workloads are often the result of misconfigurations in services and security settings. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data and compromise applications and infrastructure. They can also expose organizations to regulatory compliance risk and lead to costly penalties for data breaches, malware attacks, DDoS, and phishing scams.

A centralized cloud security platform that integrates prevention-first CWPP, CSPM, code security, and vulnerability detection and response offers the best possible protection for your cloud environment. Designed to scale, it is easy to use, provides visibility into multi-cloud assets, and protects against the broadest set of threats and vulnerabilities.

Ensures compliance with FedRAMP standards and mitigates the impact of data spillage from non-accredited cloud service providers by scanning for vulnerabilities and threats, monitoring containers in public registries, and scanning IaC artifacts and application builds at build time. This helps prevent the use of unsecure or compromised source images and accelerates development time by reducing the number of false positives.
