Corporates are making an increased use of public cloud applications with a majority of their workforce working from home using the collaboration applications. Public cloud such as Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and Amazon web services are affordable, scalable and businesses needs to pay for the service they use, therefore, these are becoming the choice for every organisation. The continuous use of public cloud brings certain security concerns. Apart from enhancing your security posture, you need to dive deep into the security practices for the cloud and monitor the number of people who are accessing the cloud instance.<\/p>\n
The immense cloud usage of the public cloud has disturbed the distribution of workload and has increased the security concerns by manifolds. Some of the other factors that are blowing up the security cover of your data are –<\/p>\n
With technology stepping in,\u00a0in every phase of a product\/service development cycle, their time to market\u00a0has reduced substantially. Previously, development cycle would last months or years but now the times have changed.\u00a0Currently, two or three products\/services are rolled out in a day.\u00a0And,\u00a0this means that developers are working on cloud instances simultaneously.\u00a0For companies, that operate globally, the developers work in different time zones. The crux here is that it is impossible for you to keep track of people who worked on your\u00a0cloud<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0instance and when\u00a0was the security compromised.<\/p>\n Compliance standards such as HiPPA,\u00a0GDPR<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0CIS,\u00a0PIC and others are a necessity to be met.\u00a0But\u00a0the cloud environment changes every moment and these regulatory audits are done once\u00a0in\u00a0months. These audits are draining for teams but\u00a0if done frequently can point out the fractured nature of the security and will help the\u00a0organisations\u00a0to take the measures effectively.<\/p>\n Automation<\/a><\/strong> in public cloud instances is certainly helping companies to roll out products and services in less\u00a0time. But at the same\u00a0time,\u00a0it is widening the playground for hackers. The hackers use these applications as a canvas and try\u00a0to attempt logins or data breaches. It becomes\u00a0the\u00a0IT team\u2019s responsibility to pinpoint the soft spots in the cloud deployment\u00a0and\u00a0repair them before the hackers can come in\u00a0to\u00a0steal your data.<\/p>\n The most prominent step in improving security of your public cloud infrastructure\u00a0lies in having proper visibility of the entire cloud instance. With SOPHOS Cloud Optix, you can smoothly monitor your resources\u2019 activity in multiple cloud environments. Optix gives you the visibility into different cloud platforms such as\u00a0Google Cloud<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Amazon Web Services,\u00a0Microsoft Azure<\/strong><\/a>, Kubernetes Clusters and other data repositories.\n
