Step into the Hybrid Cloud Culture
Research reports from Oracle to KPMG point to the increasing migration of enterprises to the cloud and their reliance on cloud services to protect business-critical data. However, this trend makes managing 3rd-party cyber risks one of the most essential focuses of an organization’s security activities.
We hope this edition adds value to your cloud management initiative.
As the pandemic hit businesses across the globe, cloud adoption followed the increase in remote working. Increased flexibility, productivity, and reduced costs made it a viable option for businesses while people started to work from home. However, the recent massive upward trend in cyber breaches forces everyone to rethink how to approach security practices, compliance standards, and employee training.
Various research reports explain that misconfiguration, lack of visibility, identity, and unauthorized access come under the highest-ranked cloud threats. To beat the growing number of attacks, security experts and solution providers are striving their best to develop the most secure practices and approaches in cloud security.
One such approach, the zero trust model, offers complete security by assuring no one gets access to data until their identity is authenticated. It ensures the users get access only to the information that they need. Businesses have also introduced advanced security solutions with high-end features, including multiple levels of user identity authentication. This model gives the control back to the organization and increases accountability. By providing limited access, the possibility of data breaches is reduced.
Adapting to such types of security models becomes necessary with an increased number of insider attacks.
The continuous advancement in Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning also creates advanced ways for businesses to strengthen their security techniques. These technical advancements offer complete protection of the data, thereby saving businesses from severe cyber thefts.
