The 4 Vital Aspects of Cloud Security

Aspects of Cloud Security
SHARE

Cloud is no longer an evolving trend. It is a proven business model for IT organizations to remain competitive in today’s demanding digital world. The cloud not only redefines the IT environment but also establishes and introduces security measures. Migration into the cloud forced companies from scratch to reconsider the aspects of cloud security and privacy.

Approaches to robust cloud security vary significantly from those in an on-premise IT system. Consequently, your existing security experience could not be completely applicable to your new cloud-based environment. Therefore, before shifting mission-critical assets to the cloud, businesses need comprehensive security to trust and monitor.

Cloud security refers to the discipline of protecting cloud computing environments, applications, data, and information. Cloud security involves securing cloud environments against unauthorized use/access, DDOS attacks, hackers, malware, and other threats. The related term, cloud-based security, refers to the software as a service (SaaS) delivery model of security services hosted in the cloud. Rather than distributed via on-premise hardware or software, while cloud security relates to security for cloud environments.

Listed below are 4 critical aspects of cloud security:

  1. Data Security

As data moves from a secure perimeter of a business into the cloud, companies have to migrate to a layered model. It should ensure proper data isolation in the shared, multitenant cloud. Using methodologies such as encryption and tokenization, the data must be encrypted and secured by controls like multi-factor authentication and digital certificates. Tracking software needs deployment to improve security tools like intrusion detection, Denial-of-Service (Dos) attack monitoring, and network traceability tools. To achieve full visibility of the information, organizations must keep abreast and implement security innovations. It is one of the most important aspects of cloud security.

  1. Compute-level Security

Organizations must employ compute-level security in the cloud environment for end systems, managed services, and diverse workloads and applications. The first aspect of compute-based security is automated vulnerability management. It includes identifying and preventing security loopholes over the entire lifecycle of the application. The second component ensures operational security for anything that is perceived to be a compute device or workload. To detect any abnormal or malicious behavior, robust cloud security requires automated and continual inspection and monitoring.

  1. Network Security

Securing cloud networks is distinct from securing a conventional system. In cloud computing, network security comprises four principles:

  • Micro-segmentation or isolation of areas, workloads, and applications using firewall layers
  • Network traffic controls down to user level
  • Applications can use end-to-end transport-level encryption
  • Use encapsulation protocols such as SSH, IPSEC, SSL when implementing a private virtual cloud

In addition to these concepts, companies must implement Network Performance Management (NPM) software to obtain access to access network performance and ensure that the cloud service provider is on par with the Service Level Agreements ( SLA).

  1. Identity Security

A comprehensive identity and access management strategy is the key to successful cloud migration. Identity security offers an integrated access solution that is cost-effective, agile, and versatile. Identification, authentication, authorization, access governance, and accountability form the IAM security framework. It allows IT administrators to approve who can access unique services, providing full control to manage cloud resources.

It is necessary to know about the types of cloud environments to deal with the various aspects of cloud security. There are three primary types of cloud environments, namely,

  • Public Cloud Services: Hosted by third-party cloud services (e.g., Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud). It is typically accessible through web browsers; it is vital to manage identity, authenticate, and monitor access.
  • Private Clouds: Dedicated and typically open to a single entity. They are also, however, vulnerable to violations of access, social engineering, and other exploits.
  • Hybrid Clouds: It consists of public and private cloud aspects together. It allows companies to exercise more control over their data and resources than in a public cloud environment. While still being able to tap into the scalability and other advantages of the public cloud when necessary.

Conclusion

For developing comprehensive cloud security, these four aspects of cloud security are critical. However, knowing the security infrastructure of their cloud provider in terms of firewalls, intrusion detection methods, etc. is important. This allows the company to match its security infrastructure with the infrastructure constraints of the Cloud Service Provider (CSP). Besides, companies need to provide staff training and develop an awareness of the security risks associated with cloud migration. One of the simplest and most cost-effective methods for securing cloud data is to build a culture of relentless vigilance.
