Your system is only as secure as the weakest link . This may be an adage , but it still holds true . Cloud offers agility , elasticity , better security , and other benefits . It is therefore even more imperative that you ensure you secure your Cloud systems . Our customers list the following as their top Cloud Security concerns :
• Misconfiguration of cloud security parameters making cloud resources vulnerable
• Data Privacy / Confidentiality / Sovereignty & Residency concerns which have legal and regulatory implications ( PDPA , GDPR )
• Privileged Credentials leakages and Confidential Data leakages
• Insecure APIs / Interfaces causing application breaches
• Malicious insiders with privileged access exposing cloud resources to external parties
While there can never be zero risk , organisations need to adopt a Zero-Trust policy with systems and processes in place to de-risk their business security exposure .
