Cloud security

Moving to the cloud

“The COVID-19 pandemic forced organizations to quickly focus on three priorities: preserve cash and optimize IT costs, support and secure a remote workforce, and ensure resiliency,” said Mr. Nag. “Investing in cloud became a convenient means to address all three of these needs.”

70 %: are planning to increase their cloud investments after COVID-19
69 %: indicate that the risk of data leakage is the greatest concern associated with using cloud services
35 %: indicated that they experienced at least one cloud-related data breach in the past 18 months

Data breaches and data leakage

When large amounts of data are flowing between employees and cloud systems, there is a risk that it can be captured by a hacker at some point, or that the company can be indirectly affected when an attack is directed against a supplier of cloud services (e.g. Cloud hopper).

Access Management

User and access management is extremely important when it comes to using different cloud services. Improper handling can have fatal consequences, for example if an attacker gains access to an employee's account and from there moves on in the environment.

Data loss

Managing users and authorised access is incredibly important when it comes to using various cloud services. Incorrect management can have devastating consequences if a hacker can access an employee’s account and eventually get into the environment.

Unsecure APIs

Application Programming Interfaces (all APIs) are a very common way to interact with cloud-services. These are used by systems both at your location and that of the cloud supplier. Unfortunately, there are often security gaps in APIs that provide unauthorised access to your data.

Poorly configured cloud storage

Many companies do not have the knowledge or are not sufficiently careful in terms of configuring their cloud services. Incorrect configurations can partly result in data leaks but also in the deletion of data or having it manipulated by someone with the wrong intentions.

Privacy and compliance

Large amounts of data in combination with multiple users and services, which are often based in different regions, naturally involves major challenges to providing warnings regarding personal privacy and fulfilling compliance requirements.

Manage threats

When data moves to the cloud, hackers follow along. Sentor helps to strengthen your detection capabilities so that you can stop the threat before it has managed to do any damage.

Security testing

Sentor performs various security tests in cloud environments. Normally with Amazon, Azure or Google Cloud, but we can also test your own cloud solution or supplier.
