Cloud security is critical for safeguarding your data and applications when using public, private or hybrid clouds.

Understand your shared responsibility model:

• Clearly define responsibilities between your organization and the cloud provider.
• While the provider secures the infrastructure, you protect data, applications and configurations.

Ask detailed security questions:

• Inquire about the vendor’s security measures and processes.
• Understand their protocols for identifying vulnerabilities and addressing weaknesses.

Implement encryption:

• Encrypt data within the cloud to ensure seamless flow among applications.
• Properly configure connections and settings to enhance security.

Monitor cloud activity:

• Regularly review logs and monitor for suspicious behavior.
• Detect anomalies early to prevent potential breaches.

Centralize visibility:

• Gain a holistic view of private, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.
• Implement security policies consistently across all platforms.

Access control and endpoint security:

• Limit user access based on roles and permissions.
• Secure endpoints to prevent unauthorized entry points.

Back up your data:

• Regularly back up critical data to prevent loss.
• Consider both on-premises and cloud backups.

Remember, proactive measures can significantly reduce risks. Share these tips to create a safer cloud environment!
