Cloud Security
The provider secures the platform. You secure what you put on it.
Cloud breaches are usually configuration, not compromise
Publicly readable storage, over-privileged service accounts, unmonitored administrative activity and long-lived access keys account for a large share of cloud incidents. None of them require the provider to fail.
Cloud security work is about closing that configuration gap and keeping it closed as the environment changes.
Scope
What cloud security covers
Configuration review against recognised benchmarks, identity and privilege management, network controls, logging and monitoring, data protection settings and continuous checking for drift as new resources are created.
Configuration review
Tenants and subscriptions checked against benchmark guidance, with findings prioritised.
Privilege management
Least privilege for users, roles and service identities, with standing admin access removed.
Network controls
Segmentation, exposure review and removal of unnecessary public endpoints.
Logging and alerting
Audit logging enabled, retained and monitored for the activity that matters.
Data protection
Encryption, storage access policy and public exposure checks.
Drift detection
Ongoing checks so a new resource does not quietly reopen a gap.
What you get
What changes when cloud security is handled well
- Known configuration state rather than assumed.
- Administrative access that is granted deliberately and temporarily.
- Storage exposure eliminated and kept eliminated.
- Cloud activity logged in a form that supports an investigation.
A practical note on cloud security
Cloud environments change constantly, so a one-off review has a short shelf life. The value comes from continuous checking rather than an annual report.
