Cloud infrastructures dynamically adapt to the business's workload requirements to perform essential services and access confidential company information. Adversaries searching for large targets might quickly take advantage of weak cloud configurations to shift mission-critical workloads to the cloud.
A Cloud Security Assessment helps to mitigate these risks and vulnerabilities, evaluate the efficacy of security controls, and put safeguards in place to secure sensitive data processed or stored in the cloud. It refers to the process of evaluating and ensuring the security of cloud computing environments adhere to the security standards of ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27002, and NIST SP 800-53.
The growing number of enterprises utilizing cloud services and moving their data and apps to the cloud makes this assessment essential to evaluate and control the security risks related to these settings.
Core Objectives
- Safeguard the CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability) of data stored in the cloud
- Evaluate the security of network infrastructure within the cloud environment
- Verify the effectiveness of Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies
Deliverables
- Enhancing your organization’s cloud security posture including network design, access controls
- Identifying the security flaws of your organization and fixing them
- Prioritizing risks based on severity and potential impact
- Developing strategies to manage and mitigate identified risks effectively
- Implementing continuous monitoring solutions to detect and respond to security events in real-time
- Integrating threat intelligence feeds to stay informed about emerging threats and vulnerabilities
- Aid in locating configuration and vulnerability problems with your cloud apps and infrastructure
- Give your cloud services, apps, and data a more secure environment
- Evaluating whether the cloud provider complies with international and regional data protection laws
- Assisting you in obtaining adherence to industry-specific compliance standards, regulations and requirements
- Conducting simulated attacks to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the cloud environment
