Cloud security is the protection of data, applications, and infrastructures involved in cloud computing.

Cloud security, also known as cloud computing security, consists of a set of policies, controls, procedures and technologies that work together to protect cloud-based systems, data and infrastructure.


Cloud security provides multiple levels of controls within the network infrastructure in order to provide continuity and protection for cloud-based assets like websites and web applications. Whether in a public or private cloud, businesses need to balance DDoS protection, high availability, data security, and regulatory compliance in their cloud security provider.


Most common worries of the organization shifting from On-premises IT infrastructure setup to the Cloud
 

  •     Is My Data Safe?
  •     Organization normally deterred by the security threats as data is sent through the internet and a physical server
  •     Operations might suffer from added latency when using cloud applications over the internet.
  •     Your hardware is controlled by someone else, you might lose some transparency and control when debugging performance issues.
  •     Your particular application design and architecture might not completely follow distributed cloud architectures, and therefore may require some amount of modification before moving them to the cloud
  •     Once in cloud it might be difficult to leave or move between platforms or Cloud providers .You can’t choose your neighbors, and it’s possible to end up with a neighbor who lets in something harmful.
  •     Cloud environments are highly connected, making it easier for traffic to bypass traditional perimeter defenses
  •     .Insecure application programming interfaces (APIs), weak identity and credentials management, account hijacks, and malicious insiders may pose threats to the system and data. But this is equally true with On-Premises solution

 

Few things to remember and ask our cloud provider before Migrating to cloud

 

Implementation of cloud security processes should be a joint responsibility between the business owner and solution provider.
Regardless of what cloud deployment you’re using, you’re responsible for securing your own space within that cloud.

Data Security

Several major data breaches at high profile companies led 2014 to be nicknamed “The Year of the Data Breach,” and in its wake, IT professionals and executives want to do everything they can to prevent a data breach at their own company. As a result, investments in access control, intrusion prevention, identity management, and virus and malware protection are on the rise.

What type of Cloud Security is been used ?

Cloud Security by Preventing unauthorized access in the cloud requires shifting to a data-centric approach. Encrypt the data. Strengthen the authorization process. Require strong passwords and 2 factor authentication. Build security into every level.

Cloud Security takes these threats to its networks and its customers very seriously and uses a variety of methods to prevent, detect and eradicate malware.

You can also isolate yourself in a multi-tenant environment by deploying additional security measures

Compliance

Personal, financial and other sensitive data may be subject to strict compliance regulations. Some industries, like financial institutions and ecommerce, have more industry and governmental regulations than others

Managing lifecycles

Cloud-native environments make it easy to spin up new instances—Neglected instances can become cloud zombies—active but unmonitored. These abandoned instances can become outdated quickly

Portability

Service-level agreements (SLA) should clearly define when and how the cloud provider returns the customer’s data or applications. Prevent future lock-in concerns by considering portability now.

Monitoring

Monitoring program is focused on information gathered from internal network traffic, employee actions on systems and outside knowledge of vulnerabilities.

A unified cloud management platform can help you monitor every resource in every environment.

Automated network analysis helps determine when an unknown threat may exist and escalates to security staff, and network analysis is supplemented by automated analysis of system logs.

Choosing the right people

A public cloud’s infrastructure may be more secure than a particular organization’s private cloud, because the public cloud provider has a better informed and equipped security team.
