Cloud security encompasses technologies, policies, controls, and services that safeguard cloud data, applications, and infrastructure from threats at a high level of security. In the post-COVID-19 era, with the increasing trend of remote work, it emphasizes protecting a company’s online-stored data from theft, leakage, and deletion by rogue agents using unlawful means to access information.

Security aspects for cloud environments (public, private, or hybrid) share similarities with on-premise IT architecture. Legacy platforms often utilize a perimeter security model for access control. However, the highly connected nature of cloud environments makes it easier for various data traffic, especially threats, to bypass traditional defense systems. This mandates the use of more advanced security capabilities. Common methods for cloud security include firewalls, penetration testing, obfuscation, tokenization, virtual private networks (VPN), and restricting access to public networks or open internet connections. Dealing with modern sophisticated threats requires staying updated on evolving cloud security practices, making it the primary responsibility of the IT team to keep pace with emerging threats.
