Cloud security refers to the measures and technologies that are used to protect cloud-based data, applications, and infrastructure from threats, such as cyberattacks, data breaches, and unauthorised access. Cloud security is critical for organisations that use cloud computing to store, process, and manage sensitive data, applications, and systems. It involves safeguarding data, infrastructure, applications, networks, and access control. It also includes measures to prevent unauthorised access, data breaches, and cyberattacks, and manages who has access to cloud resources and data.
Cloud security requires a multi-layered approach, incorporating a range of security measures and technologies, such as encryption, firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention, and identity and access management. Cloud security also requires ongoing monitoring and management, regular risk assessments, and security audits to ensure that cloud-based environments remain secure and compliant.
THE NEED FOR A NEW APPROACH
Gartner introduced the concept of SASE or Secure Access Service Edge to address the evolving needs of modern networks and the growing trend towards Icloud-based services and remote work. SASE is a cloud-based security solution that integrates multiple security functions to provide secure access to cloud-based resources and applications from any device, anywhere in the world. It addresses the evolving needs of modern networks and remote work by enabling organisations to connect securely and reducing the risk of security breaches.
Traditional security solutions like VPNs and firewalls are inadequate, and SASE provides a cost-effective solution that simplifies security, reduces costs, and improves security effectiveness. ZTNA or Zero Trust Network Access can be used with SASE to secure access to cloud-based resources and create a secure, compliant cloud environment that protects against modern threats.
