The past decade has witnessed many organizations embracing cloud adoption and this makes cloud security a prominent player for them to thrive in the business game. According to IDC in 2021 the manufacturing industry spent $20 billion, professional services spent $18 billion and the banking sector spent $16 billion for cloud adoption. Also, research says on an average an employee uses 30 plus cloud services at the workplace.
With the ongoing cloud adoption spree, the cloud-security threats are also becoming rampant. The worldwide statistics say that the average cost of data compromise sums up to $3.86 million. Research also says if an organization can fix data breach issues within 30 days of occurrence, they tend to save $1 million. Moreover, if an organization can ensure a complete foolproof system against security compromise millions of dollars are saved. It is important for organizations to understand that cloud infrastructure itself cannot insulate organizational IT resources from security threats. They need strong security tools to neutralize cloud-security threats.
A wide range of cloud-security challenges like data breaches, compliance with regular mandates, cloud migration challenges, insider threats, lack of IT expertise, and managing unsecured APIs are to be addressed while devising cloud security practices. Organizations must ensure better Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and use of Cloud Workload Protection (CWP). While the CSPM tools help organizations to quickly identify risks by monitoring multi-cloud environments, workloads, teams and to produce useful insights the CWP assists to ensure server workload protection in modern-day hybrid data center architectures. Here we have identified 6 best practices to be religiously put into action to build a robust cloud security system.
1. Maintain comprehensive inventory of Cloud-native applications and services
