Cloud security

Cloud security involves aligning people, policies and technologies behind a security posture that protects data and digital assets from existing and emerging cyber risks, human error and insider threats.

Because cloud now plays a vital role in the operation of data centers around the world, it has become a hot topic on Wall Street and in boardrooms. In fact, survey after survey shows that business leaders plan to keep investing in cloud for the foreseeable future.

However, these surveys also indicate that cybersecurity concerns remain the prevailing obstacle to more widespread cloud adoption.

Cloud security benefits

Given the challenges and complexity of the landscape, it's no wonder that cloud security is top of mind for security, cloud and business leaders alike. Common challenges include shifting between public, private and hybrid cloud operating models; a shortage of skilled cloud practitioners; a growing emphasis on cloud cost optimization; and unchecked tool sprawl.

Our approach to cloud security transformation is holistic, process-driven and incorporates the vast multi-domain expertise of our security consultants, engineers and architects.

Benefits include:

Cloud security benefits

Cost savings

Only pay for actual consumption while reducing the total cost of ownership — especially when paired with cloud optimization expertise designed to right-size cloud commitments.

Cloud security benefits

Enhanced visibility

Achieve continuous visibility into your risk posture via 24/7 monitoring of all applications and cloud-based assets (i.e., what assets are being used, by whom, and how).

Cloud security benefits

Data encryption

By baking security protocols and procedures into their offerings, hyperscalers deliver strong access controls and layered encryption around cloud data transfers, storage and sharing.

Cloud security benefits

Regulatory compliance

Hyperscalers can help ensure that industry-specific compliance and regulatory standards are met in relation to where your data is stored, accessed, processed, protected and loss prevented.

Cloud security benefits

Threat detection and and response

Hyperscalers increasingly leverage AI systems, endpoint scanning, global threat intelligence and automated analytics to continuously monitor, identify, analyze and mitigate incidents faster.

Cloud security benefits

High availability

By leveraging a distributed global network of edge servers, modern cloud security builds-in redundancies to ensure that apps and cloud-based resources are available when you need them.

Cloud security benefits

Recovery and backup

By automating and standardizing backups, IT teams are freed from monitoring manual backups and troubleshooting while disaster recovery capabilities make it easy to restore and recover data and apps.
