Cloud security

A cloud-based system can be as vulnerable, if not more, to cyber-threats, as a data center. Even though many cloud providers will ensure you for the security of their apps, at the end of the day, you are responsible for your data’s security and protection. We can help you move to a cloud app, smoothly and safely, making certain that the risk is minusculed for all aspects of your business.

Increased Attack Surface

The public cloud environment has become a large and highly attractive attack surface for hackers who exploit poorly secured cloud ingress ports in order to access and disrupt workloads and data in the cloud. Malware, Zero-Day, Account Takeover and many other malicious threats have become a day-to-day reality.

Lack of Visibility and Tracking

In the IaaS model, the cloud providers have full control over the infrastructure layer and do not expose it to their customers. The lack of visibility and control is further extended in the PaaS and SaaS cloud models. Cloud customers often cannot effectively identify and quantify their cloud assets or visualize their cloud environmets.

Ever-Changing Workloads

Cloud assets are provisioned and decommissioned dynamically—at scale and at velocity. Traditional security tools are simply incapable of enforcing protection policies in such a flexible and dynamic environment with its ever-changing and ephemeral workloads.
