Is your company doing everything it should to protect its cloud assets?
As cloud service adoption expands, all organizations should pay particular attention to their cloud security program. In its 2022 Cost of a Data Breach Report, IBM Security found that 45% of all breaches over the previous year occurred in the cloud. Concerningly, the report found that 43% of organizations had either not started or were in the early stages of implementing cloud security capabilities.
Cloud services operate under a shared security model where the cloud provider assumes some level of responsibility for security. It’s critical to understand exactly how the responsibilities are allocated and what is required by your organization for each of your cloud security services.
What does a sound cloud security program look like? While a single correct answer doesn’t exist, we created this cloud security readiness assessment to help you formulate a plan that is aligned with the NIST CSF framework.
