Cloud Security Consulting

The main cloud security areas include physical, software, and infrastructure security. It means that to ensure full data security, you need to obtain powerful, reliable hardware, install virus detection and IDS apps as well as implement firewalls to filter traffic, detect malicious software, and avoid security issues or data leaks.

Cloud security frameworks deliver information on security measures applicable to a cloud environment. Just like security frameworks, they encompass a set of controls with specific guidance, control management, validation, and other kinds of data required to secure a cloud use case.

When you're searching for cloud service providers, they need to align with particular standards. The critical requirements for high-quality cloud security include:

• Having an advanced perimeter firewall
• Intrusion detection systems (IDS) that include event logging
• Internal firewalls for individual applications and databases
• Data-at-rest kind of encryption
• Tier IV data centers with robust physical security

Some of the key challenges you might face while migrating to the cloud include:

• Data privacy and security
• Performance challenges
• Cost management
• Flexibility and interoperability issues
• Network dependence
• Lack of due expertise and knowledge

You share cloud infrastructures with multiple users. That’s why the main issue is in-cloud data accessibility. Companies use various technologies and multiple platforms (e.g., public, private, and hybrid cloud), making it hard to monitor data, detect anomalies, and manage unauthorized access cases.

Some of the most widespread cloud security challenges include the following: 

• Data breaches
• Lack of IT expertise resulting in faulty security systems and possible data thefts
• Cloud migration issues that can be detrimental to data protection systems
• APIs that are less secure than your data protection system
• Insider threats from unfair employees
• Using open source solutions that are vulnerable to hacks
