Cloud Security Assessment: Challenges and Solutions
Cloud security assessments are vital for the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and applications in cloud environments. However, they come with their own set of challenges.
-
Challenge
-
Shared Responsibility
Cloud providers operate under a shared responsibility model, where they handle the security of the cloud (physical infrastructure, network, etc.), while the customer is responsible for security in the cloud (data, applications, operating systems, etc.). -
Lack of Visibility
Unlike traditional on-premise infrastructure, cloud environments can be more opaque, making it difficult to gain full visibility into configurations, access controls, and data flows. -
Excessive Complexity
The vast array of cloud services (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and their diverse configurations can make security assessments complex. Each service has its own security considerations and requires specialized expertise.
-
-
Solution
-
Our specialists can help you adopt a system for tracking and managing security responsibilities across different teams and individuals within the organization. This could involve creating a shared responsibility matrix or using a specialized tool to assign and track responsibilities. We can also conduct training sessions to educate employees on the shared responsibility model.
-
Leaning on our expertise, you can experiment with provider-specific security tools and services, such as Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tools or Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPPs). We can also assist you with the implementation of security information and event management (SIEM), automation, and response (SOAR) capabilities.
-
We can enable you to create and adopt consistent security policies and procedures across all cloud environments. This will make it possible to reduce complexity and improve consistency in security management.
-
Programming Stack & Frameworks
Cloud security assessment typically relies on a hybrid tech stack that combines cloud-native security tools (like AWS Security Hub, Azure Security Center, or GCP Security Command Center) with third-party security information and event management (SIEM) systems and custom-built security automation tools.
