With rapid information technology changes organisations are increasingly moving away from traditional on-premise IT systems to cloud-based services. Cloud-based services were brought numbers of new benefits mean time brings whole host of new information security challenges. Even though the cloud can provide a cost effective, highly scalable and secure service, it was become new attack surface and carried it own weakness.

According to www.securitymagazine.com, “Nearly 80% of Companies Experienced a Cloud Data Breach in Past 18 Months”. This is mostly due to misconfigured cloud services, improper access controls.

The aim of cloud security assessment

The cloud environment is constantly changing and it makes it difficult to rapidly detect and respond to threats. A cloud security assessment (CSA) can help you identify and mitigate security risks in cloud computing. It covers the 11 major security threats identified by the Cloud Security Alliance:

  1. Data breaches
  2. Misconfiguration and Inadequate Change Control
  3. Lack of Cloud Security Architecture and Strategy
  4. Insufficient Identity, Credential, Access and Key Management
  5. Account hijacking
  6. Insider Threat
  7. Insecure Interfaces and APIs
  8. Weak Control Plane
  9. Metastructure and Applstructure Failures
  10. Limited Cloud Usage Visibility
  11. Abuse and Nefarious Use of Cloud Services

Are you ready?

A Cloud Security Assessment can help you answer the following questions and can guide you on the steps to take:

  • Do you know what type of data it is (e.g. personal data) and where your data is stored?
  • Have you understood your security and privacy risks inherent to your Cloud environments?
  • Are your current security controls providing sufficient coverage and are effective to security and privacy risks persisted.
  • Are your current security controls providing sufficient visibility, context and insight to the threat facing your sensitive data across the hybrid cloud?
  • Have you taken to account GDPR, PCI and other regulations that you are obliged to maintain?
  • Are you investing in the right places to achieve the correct levels of security?
