With the increased usage of online services, cloud solutions and overall business digitization, cyberattacks have become lucrative, and hackers are seeking more and more effective means of penetrating cybersecurity safeguards. Let’s discuss some of the key cybersecurity elements businesses should implement and maintain to safeguard their assets from cyberattacks:
Cloud Security
Companies have private and public cloud instances that may be either set up using on-premise or off-site data centers. Public cloud instances across various CSPs (cloud service providers) must be protected by deploying different cloud governance solutions. They help security personnel in enforcing automated policy compliance and cloud vulnerability management. Managing the virtual infrastructure in private clouds supporting server virtualization and providing a virtual desktop interface can be handled by MSSPs (managed security service providers). Cloud instances are the first to be attacked by hackers, even before targeting the on-site server infrastructure. Hence, it must be protected with multiple layers of cyber defense mechanisms.
