Cloud Security Best Practices
Cloud environments introduce unique security challenges. Applying a defense-in-depth strategy and using cloud-native controls reduces risk significantly.
Top practices
- Harden IAM: principle of least privilege, role separation, and regular access reviews.
- Enable encryption at rest and in transit; manage keys securely with KMS.
- Segment networks and use private subnets for sensitive workloads.
- Automate security checks: IaC scanning, container image scanning, and CIS benchmarks.
- Set up centralized logging and threat detection (Cloud SIEM).
