What is cloud security?

Cloud security refers to the set of policies, technologies, controls, and practices designed to protect data, applications, and services hosted in cloud environments. It encompasses a broad range of measures to safeguard cloud infrastructure from cyber threats, ensure data privacy, and maintain compliance with industry regulations. Key features of cloud security include:

Protection against cyber threats

Cloud environments are constantly targeted by cyber criminals. Effective cloud security helps safeguard against malware, ransomware, phishing, and other sophisticated attacks, ensuring the integrity and safety of your data and applications.

Data privacy and confidentiality

Organisations store sensitive information in the cloud, including customer data and intellectual property. Robust cloud security measures are essential to keep this data private and secure from unauthorised access.

Compliance with regulations

Many industries must adhere to strict regulatory requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. Cloud security ensures that organisations meet these standards, avoiding legal penalties and maintaining customer trust.

Maintaining business continuity

Cloud security helps prevent disruptions caused by security breaches, ensuring that business operations can continue smoothly without interruptions.
