Careful Planning Reveals the Benefits of Cloud Security

Careful Planning Reveals the Benefits of Cloud Security

May 24, 2019 by Robert Hayes

To see the benefits of cloud security, visibility is key.In today’s environment, developing a proactive, cloud-native approach to security seems to be the pervasive thought. Any transition to cloud-based services would otherwise come with far too many risks. If your security team is overworked, getting them up to speed on the benefits of cloud security probably won’t happen unless you find the time and energy to educate them.

Due to the fact that security teams are often underfunded as well as understaffed, they’re going to take the path of least resistance, which means they’re going to look at what they currently use that can be of assistance when implementing cloud-based services. Could this type of reaction be what’s led, as of late, to a higher number of breaches of cloud-based services? 

With some pre-emptive planning before cloud-services are adopted, many of the hassles associated with security can be avoided.

Gaining Visibility in the Cloud

Once business shoots off to the cloud, you won’t find the benefits of cloud security until you secure your operations there. Gaining visibility is of the utmost importance at this point because you can’t safeguard what you cannot see.

With visibility comes preparation. You get a better sense of what could happen in the cloud environment and make the necessary preparations so you can be proactive rather than reactive. You are gaining this insight by establishing controls that will govern your processes, but it’s a situation that can come with some challenges. Most of the challenges present themselves to teams that implement cloud solutions before adequately preparing security measures, which means they’re playing catch-up in a situation that can quickly get quite complex.

If you’ve got multiple teams working on cloud-based technologies, make sure they’re communicating on a frequent basis and that each knows what services the other is using and what controls are being put in place. It’s still possible for each to manage their individual environments, but if there is any overlap, knowing exactly what is going on will ease the pain points and you will fully see the benefits of cloud security.

Put Up Your Defenses

Cloud deployments often involve many players. Some of them are third parties that can assist you with migrating your data and applications to the cloud. Due to this scenario, establishing governance early on can prevent confusion.

Governance involves establishing exactly how the security measures will be built into each disparate piece of the puzzle, thus adding the aforementioned visibility that is so vital.

Don’t do it all on your own — get the assistance of an agent with years of experience assisting clients with cloud security. At eXemplify, our approach to cloud solutions brings to our clients cost-efficiency, scalability, agility, flexibility, continuity, and, of course, security. Contact us, and let’s talk about our process and why it’s going to provide the benefits you’ve been looking for.
