Cloud Security Assessment

Cloud computing is a primary driver of digital transformation, offering organizations unprecedented speed and agility. However, this rapid adoption introduces a complex landscape of evolving security threats that require a shift in strategy from traditional IT practices.

To secure your cloud footprint, we utilize a three-step framework: Assess, Protect, and Detect & Respond. The foundation of this approach is a Cloud Security Assessment (CSA), which identifies your specific risks and requirements.

Objectives of the CSA

  • Data Breaches: Unauthorized access to sensitive information.

  • Configuration Issues: Misconfigurations and poor change control.

  • Strategic Gaps: Lack of a formal cloud security architecture and strategy.

  • Identity Management: Insufficient control over credentials, access, and keys.

  • Account Takeover: Vulnerabilities leading to account hijacking.

  • Insider Threats: Malicious or negligent actions from within the organization.

  • API Security: Insecure interfaces and application programming interfaces.

  • Control Plane Weakness: Vulnerabilities in the management layer of the cloud.

  • Structural Failures: Disruptions in the “metastructure” and “applistructure.”

  • Visibility Gaps: Limited insight into how cloud services are being used.

  • Service Abuse: Malicious use of cloud resources for nefarious purposes.
