Background for this topic.
Cloud computing involves delivering computing services—such as storage, processing, and networking—over the internet using remote data centers. This model enables organizations to scale resources dynamically without owning physical infrastructure. In security terms, the cloud environment is defined by multi-tenant infrastructure where multiple customers share hardware and software resources managed by a cloud provider.
Key security concerns include controlling access through strong identity and access management (IAM), protecting data with encryption both at rest and in transit, and managing vulnerabilities in shared infrastructure components. The cloud’s shared responsibility model requires customers to secure their applications and data while providers secure the underlying platform. Misconfigurations, weak access controls, and insufficient monitoring can expose cloud assets to unauthorized access or data leakage, making precise configuration and continuous security assessment essential.

Our Vectra Masked CISO series tackles some of the biggest issues in security and how to overcome them Advertorial Security must be tried, tested, and tested again. It’s become easier than ever for cybercriminals to find stealthy new ways to gain access to and navigate laterally across systems, exploit gaps in hybrid workflows, or hijack cloud accounts to gain access to a target. It is vital that every CISO can offer a clear picture of how their security is really holding up against the latest tactics, techniques, and procedures. However, all too often I’ve seen my fellow CISOs fall into a cycle of preparing annual penetration tests of point systems to be “compliant,” which in fact only makes them sitting ducks just waiting for a breach to occur.…
