Identity & Access Control

Proper access governance is foundational to cloud computing security.

  • Multi‑factor Authentication (MFA): enforce 2FA/MFA on all accounts.
  • Least Privilege & RBAC: minimal privileges per user/role.
  • Privileged Access Reviews: remove stale accounts.

Network & Data Protection

Secure traffic and protect sensitive information across cloud infrastructure.

  • Cloud Network Security: firewalls, micro‑segmentation, private endpoints.
  • Cloud Data Security: encrypt data at rest and in transit with strong algorithms (AES‑256, TLS 1.2+).
  • Backup & Recovery: encrypted backup schedule and recovery drills.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is cloud computing security?

Cloud computing security refers to policies, controls and tools to protect data, networks and applications in the cloud.

By using firewalls, micro‑segmentation, private endpoints and intrusion prevention techniques.

It tracks all SaaS assets, scans for misconfigurations and enforces secure usage.

Encrypt data at rest and in transit; classify sensitive data; enforce DLP and key rotation.

Logging, SIEM, playbook drills and a clear response plan help contain breaches quickly.
