Cloud Security Hacks

Three Main Cloud Security Hacks To Be Considered.

Are you a cloud security person? Then this one's for you..

Here we will share with you some thoughts about some major cloud security hacks which is going to be a big challenge.

First of all many enterprises lacks in having a good-fitting security solutions. In most of the cases it is observed that many software development companies have turned on native public cloud security and do some iterations in the cloud and that will be it for a day.

The other main reason for these hacks are lack of updation. It is a huge risk which is taken by the software development companies. However, going in a systematic way of approach in updation of security system, using best tools and easy hacks you will be at a much lower risk of breach. 

Now let us go through the hacks which are going to become a challenge!

 DIRECTORY INTEGRATION

In IAM system they won't share user or any related data on people system or devices. Instead they share all the data through directory services. Most companies  with cloud security either don’t employ IAM or do this without providing the automated sharing of information using a directory system. Without this directory integration, if somebody retires and is removed from the directory system then  You would have to change the information in two places or he or she wouldn’t be automatically removed from the security system in the cloud. 

AUTOMATED SECURITY TESTING

Automated testing tools plays an integral part in development and many companies are not giving much value for this automated tools.companies which uses devops toolchain understands the true value of an automated testing tools. but many are still avoiding automated security testing as part of the devops toolchain.

However, With the help of automated testing systems, you will be able to find issues at the code and data levels, before they go into production. Applications moving through the toolchain will be five times more secure than those that use passive security testing.

GOVERNANCE INTEGRATION

Service and resource governance systems should be working together, but in most cases they don’t. Best example for this is, just  consider the benefit of being able to monitor potential misuse of a storage system if someone repeatedly violated governance policies. This person will make an elevated security risk, and perhaps should be locked out.
