For most companies, the majority of data is now in the cloud. This makes cloud security essential for every organization that uses cloud computing.
- Cloud security is a set of policies, controls, procedures, and technologies that work together to protect data, applications, and infrastructure from cyber-attacks.
- Cloud security helps organizations protect their data and systems from unauthorized access, malicious software, data breaches, and other threats.
It also helps organizations meet compliance requirements.
- DATA PRIVACY – Industry mandates, insurance mandates, and governmental regulations.
- GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS – Especially around documentation for audits.
Organizations must monitor their cloud environment regularly.
- This means monitoring by regularly checking logs, reviewing system files, and analyzing user activity and other relevant aspects of their network environment.
Alerting and automatic remediation are a must in 2023.
- You can’t trust that your cybersecurity partner will watch all of the alerts in real-time. You must have tools in place that continually watch for security events, actively alert your security team (emails, texts, phone calls) and automatically remediate or mitigate attacks.
