Why Cloud Security?
The Cloud providers are responsible for the security of Cloud infrastructure, and they proved to be good at securing the infrastructure. However, the customers are responsible for the configuration of various cloud resources, applications, accesss controls and data management. Since the cloud services are provisioned programmatically and variety of resources need to be configured, it is easier to misconfigure and make enterprises vulnerable to data breaches and other cyber attacks.
Unlike the traditional systems, micro service applications architecture are built on hybrid cloud is compounding the problem further and increasing the cyber threat levels. Majority of recent attacks on cloud services are due to the misconfiguration of resources and bad Application program interfaces. It is inevitable to have the cloud security measures in place to mitigate the risk and protect businesses.
