Cloud security
Summary
Protecting apps and data stored on the Internet (the "cloud") from hacks and leaks.
Description
Safeguards sensitive data on platforms like Microsoft 365 or AWS. For example, misconfigured cloud storage could expose customer records; cloud security tools and monitoring prevent unauthorised access.
Common cloud security practices include:
- Access control: implementing authentication and authorization protocols to limit those who can access cloud data
- Data protection: encrypt your data within your cloud system
- Threat detection and response: covering malware, phishing, DDoS attacks etc
- Compliance: Adherence to industry standards such as HIPAA and GDPR
- Visibility and Monitoring: Constant vigilance for emerging gaps in security, compliance and new threats
- Strong cloud security uses encryption, MFA, monitoring, and regular compliance checks
