What is Secure Cloud Access?

The shared responsibility model states that when a company moves its infrastructure to a public cloud, while the security of the cloud is the responsibility of the cloud provider, security in the cloud falls on the company itself. The challenge of security in the cloud is compounded by use of multiple cloud providers along with the on-premise servers. The security needs of a hybrid cloud environemnt results in multiple framented tools that don't give complete visibility across the network spectrum, and can be exploited. In this scenario, a concerted approach is required to design security controls that can be deployed at scale to protect cloud assets.

InstaSafe ensures safe extension of on-premise security policies to the cloud through seamless integrations with identity providers

How do you secure cloud assets?

Cloud assets are usually secured by using virtualised firewalls or inbound proxies. This approach to security presents multiple issues of scalability and managament, and is not suited to modern corporate environemnts,w hich leverage multiple clouds. In this scenario, opting for a Zero Trust approach ensures that cloud assets are secured irrespective of their location, across public or private clouds, by reducing exposed attack surface and limiting user access based on context

Can anyone see my data stored in the cloud?

Just like on-premise assets, Cloud assets may be compromised and are more at risk as they are outisde the network perimeter , making them highly susceptible to data loss. With a Zero Trust apparoach, access is highly restricted, and unauthorised assets have absolutely no visibility or access to enterprise assets. The data in question is also inaccessible to the security vendor, since critical data doesn't flow through vendor machines.

What are the main cloud security risks?

The main cloud security risks include data loss, hacked interfaces, insecure APIs, DDoS attacks, compliance violations, and ore importanty, shared vulnerabilities

How can we prevent cloud security threats?

Following a Zero Trust approach ensures seamless security and cconnectivity across cloud environments. Zero trust models use risk and trust assessment to ensure least privilege access to cloud assets, and hide the cloud asssets from exxternal internet. In addition, they allow for complete visibility across your cloud spectrum, enabling comprehensive insights and detection of threats in real time

What is the biggest risk associated with cloud access?

Working with multiple security tools for securing multiple cloud environments leaves the scope for large confusion, as well as creates a web of vulnerabilities and loopholes that may be exploited

Why public cloud is not secure?

Working on multiple cloud environments not only increases the pressure on IT teams, but is also highly prone to data breach and different forms of attacks, including DDoS attacks and meltdowns
