CXI Solutions for Your Cloud Security Management

Today, cloud security is a top concern for businesses of all sizes. According to the 2022 Thales Cloud Security Report, 45% of companies experienced a cloud-based data breach or failed audit in the past 12 months. Despite being aware of these cloud security challenges, only one in five organizations assess their overall cloud network security posture in real time. With these statistics in mind, it’s clear that cloud data security is a top priority for businesses of all sizes. Cloud security refers to the measures taken to protect data, applications, and infrastructure stored in or accessed through the Cloud. Cloud security ensures that only authorized users have access to cloud-based data and implements security controls to prevent data breaches. It’s safe to say that cloud infrastructure security management can identify and combat all threats that can comprise your operations.

FAQ

Frequently Ask Questions

Cloud security is the combination of policies, technologies, and procedures used to protect electronic information stored in the Cloud. 

The main goal of cloud security, whether cloud application security or multi-cloud security, is to protect data and applications from unauthorized access while allowing authorized users to access the information they need. Cloud security protects against common threats, including denial of service attacks, data breaches, malware, and more. 

When it comes to cloud security, there are three primary categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platforms-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). 

IaaS, or Infrastructure as a Service, provides everything from server hardware to operating systems, storage, and networking on demand. 

PaaS, or Platform as a Service, is a type of cloud computing that enables software developers to build, run, and manage software applications 

SaaS (Software as a Service) is a type of cloud computing that delivers software over the Internet. 

Cloud Security includes:   

  • Identity and access management: It is essential to ensure that only authorized users have access to your cloud data and resources. You need to ensure that your user management system is secure and that you have proper authentication and authorization controls. 
  • Securing data in the Cloud: You must ensure that your data is encrypted during the rest and transit stages. You must also certify proper access to control measures.  
  • Securing the operating system: Make sure your OS is updated with the latest security patches and that you have a robust firewall. You also need to ensure that your cloud provider has adequate security controls to protect your OS. 
  • Protecting the network layer: Your network should be segmented appropriately and you must have proper access control measures in place. You also need to ensure that your cloud provider has adequate security controls to protect your network. 
  • Managing security monitoring, alerting, audit trail, and incident response: You need to ensure that you have proper monitoring and alerting systems and a robust incident response plan

Cloud security is a top concern for organizations of all sizes that are looking to adopt cloud computing. The growing number of data breaches and the evolving nature of cyber threats make it clear that traditional security models are no longer adequate. In the Cloud, data is stored and processed in a shared environment, which makes it more vulnerable to attacks. 

The Cloud is an attractive target for attackers, as storing data in the Cloud makes it more accessible to hackers and creates a single point of failure that can be exploited. The shared nature of the Cloud also makes it difficult to ensure the confidentiality of data. In a shared environment, unauthorized users can access data that should be private. 

A few key risks associated with cloud security include data breaches, data loss, and account hijacking. While these risks can be devastating to any organization, they can be especially damaging to small businesses that may not have the resources to recover from an attack. 

Data Breaches 

A data breach is a security incident in which information is accessed without authorization. This can happen when an employee accidentally leaves data exposed, or a hacker maliciously gains access to a company's systems. 

Data breaches can have several consequences, including financial loss, damage to reputation, and legal liabilities. In some cases, data breaches can also result in losing customer trust and confidence. 

Data Loss 

Data loss occurs when data is accidentally deleted or lost. This can result from user error, hardware failure, or software corruption. Data loss can devastate any organization, especially if critical information is involved. 

Account Hijacking 

Account hijacking occurs when a malicious actor gains access to an account and uses it to exploit sensitive information or commit fraud. This can happen through phishing attacks, malware infections, or social engineering. 

Cloud computing security refers to the procedures and technologies used to protect data, applications, and infrastructure associated with cloud computing. The goal of cloud security is to provide the same level of protection as traditional on-premises data centers while also protecting against the unique risks posed by the shared nature of cloud resources. 

One of the essential security features of Office 365 is its built-in encryption. This means that your data is always protected and can only be accessed by authorized users. Office 365 uses multi-factor authentication to ensure that only sanctioned individuals can access your account. 

Another key security feature of Office 365 is its compliance with industry-standard security protocols. The platform meets all relevant security standards. Additionally, Office 365 is constantly updated with the latest security patches and updates to ensure that your data remains safe and secure. Overall, Office 365 is a very secure platform that offers several features to help keep your data safe.  

Azure provides several different options for securing your network and data. Critical logs and malware protection helps to keep your data safe, while access management features allow you control over the account access. With Azure cloud security, you can rest assured that your data is protected from hackers. 

A network security group is one of the essential components of Azure networking. It acts as a virtual firewall that controls your Azure resources' inbound and outbound traffic. 

Yes, G Suite can be hacked. However, it is not as vulnerable to hacking as other email providers. G Suite has strong security measures in place to protect your data. However, no system is perfect, and there are always ways for determined hackers to get through. 

Gsuite email is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS), which means your emails are protected while in transit. 

Microsoft Office 365 is considered one of the best business productivity tools. However, as with any cloud-based service, certain risks come with using Office 365, including: 

  1. Sensitive Data Leakage 

Sensitive Data Leakage can occur in several ways but the most common is through email. For example, an employee accidentally sends an email containing sensitive information to an unauthorized party, which can lead to a data leak. 

  1. Privilege Abuse 

With Office 365, an employee with permissions could abuse access to gain admission to unauthorized and potentially leak it to unapproved parties.  

  1. Credential Theft 

Credential theft can occur if an attacker gains access to an employee's Office 365 account and then uses this access to steal the employee's credentials. Credential theft can also lead to identity theft.  

AWS is the leading cloud provider but that doesn't mean it's immune to security vulnerabilities. There have been several high-profile security breaches involving AWS in recent years. The biggest AWS security vulnerabilities include: 

  • Sensitive data in X in plaintext 
  • Publicly accessible SQS 
  • Publicly accessible S3 
  • Privilege escalation 
  • Wide cross-account access 
  • Lack of monitoring 
  • Lack of Transfer Lock 

Even though Amazon offers its cloud-based firewall – it is recommended to set up a default firewall is to minimise the possibility of unwanted exposure to services online.
