Cloud adoption demands strong security hygiene. The threat landscape is evolving—your defences should too.
Strong Access Controls (and MFA!)
The easiest way in for hackers is stolen credentials.
Check: Is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on for everyone? Are user permissions set to the absolute minimum they need to do their job (Least Privilege)?
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)
Cloud environments are complex, and misconfigurations are common entry points.
Check: Do you use a CSPM tool to constantly scan your cloud for misconfigurations (like open storage buckets)? Do you fix issues immediately when found?
Data Encryption
Encryption is your last line of defense if unauthorized people get in.
Check: Is all sensitive data encrypted when it's stored (at rest) and when it's moving (in transit)? Do you have a plan for managing your encryption keys?
Secure All Devices
Every device that connects to your cloud workplace is a potential weak spot.
Check: Are all laptops and phones protected with up-to-date security software and managed by MDM/UEM? Are all systems regularly patched?
Training & Response Plan
People are often the weakest link, and breaches can happen.
Check: Do employees get regular cybersecurity awareness training (especially on phishing)? Do you have a clear, tested Incident Response Plan for what to do if a breach occurs?
