6 Security Tactics to Bulletproof Your Cloud Systems

6 Security Tactics to Bulletproof Your Cloud Systems

Most businesses these days utilize cloud computing in some way (about 90 percent, as a matter of fact). How is your business utilizing this technology? Regardless, you want to have security locked in for your cloud computing resources, which is what we want to focus on for today’s blog article.

Encryption

If you want to ensure the protection of your data in the cloud, encryption is a must.

Encryption scrambles data into a format unreadable by hackers, and the only way to put it back together is with a decryption key. This keeps data secure while it’s in storage and transferred between systems. Only authorized users will have the decryption key on their devices.

It’s one of the best ways to guarantee that your data is as secure as possible.

Zero Trust Security

You should practice a zero trust model with your security, period.

Zero trust means that no one can access your organization’s resources without first verifying their identity. This goes beyond the user and also extends to their devices. You can set up a system like this using multi-factor authentication, identity verification, and continuous monitoring of activities.

Ultimately, you can’t trust anyone—not completely, anyway.

AI and Machine Learning

With AI and ML, you can detect threats and respond in real-time.

Thanks to pattern recognition technology, you can identify unusual traffic sources and activities. Furthermore, you can predict risk and take preventative measures accordingly. AI takes the guesswork out of network security by automating tasks, which frees up space for your security team to take action faster and more efficiently than before.

AI and ML allow you to work smarter, not harder, with your security systems.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

With SASE, your network security can be augmented further.

SASE works by combining network security functions like secure web gateways and zero trust access with wide-area networking capabilities. This helps your business control how data is accessed. Additionally, it ensures that security policies are enforced across all locations and devices.

This is the type of consistency with security you need for your business.

Data Loss Prevention

With DLP, you can keep a close watch on your cloud data.

This involves monitoring for potential leaks and data breaches. It also keeps sensitive data from being accidentally or intentionally shared with unauthorized users. If you use automated tools, this becomes all the more important.

You should never fully trust automated tools to do things the way they should, and thus you should closely monitor them just in case anything were to go wrong.

Blockchain

The blockchain is a way to tamper-proof your cloud data.

Essentially, it creates an immutable ledger that keeps data from being manipulated. It also offers powerful protection against unauthorized access on your network. Since it’s decentralized, any changes need to be consensual across the blockchain, making unauthorized adjustments virtually impossible.
