7 Cloud Security Strategies by Fortinet

1. Inside-Out IaaS Security (set security policy from the inside to the outside)

Benefits of using Infrastructure-as-a-Service is the full use of resources. including hardware network equipment and various connection tools All of which can be accessed and managed from the cloud. While cloud service providers provide and maintain the components of this type of infrastructure, But organizations must also consider the need to protect their cloud assets.

• Cloud Services Hub

Large organizations often lack a centralized security management process. While deploying many different cloud solutions. This results in organizations having less visibility and control within their networks and being unable to respond to threats in a timely manner. However, if organizations use a centralized cloud service hub, IT teams will be able to take advantage of more cloud benefits, such as flexibility. Availability at all times and can be scaled

• Remote Access VPN (Using VPN)

Enterprises often use VPNs to access data from anywhere in the world to the cloud. But remote access using traditional VPNs doesn’t always meet these needs If an organization has already deployed a solution designed to enable secure remote access in the cloud, It will provide maximum security. This includes dynamically adjusting the level of encryption as needed, for example based on the location of the device. By type of end user or according to the IoT device and according to the data used, etc.

• Hybrid Cloud

Using public cloud as a supplementary infrastructure to on-premises data centers often allows organizations to develop new approaches. in providing IT services throughout the organization But these hybrid cloud environments can also introduce risks, such as poor network visibility. and security management are still complex. In creating hybrid cloud security, Organizations need to implement a comprehensive security policy across their entire structure.

• Advanced Application Protection

Deploying new cloud-based applications not only creates additional risks, but But it also forces organizations to Therefore, organizations should use tested security applications and deploy them to the cloud.  Moreover, before moving to the cloud Organizations should consider solutions that have the potential to protect web application APIs. The solution has the ability to enforce security policies and detect various types of malware.

• Security Management from the Cloud

Organizations that rely on legacy tools face issues of system incompatibility. especially To deploy and manage tools from the cloud Organizations should therefore use a world-class cloud service provider to provide comprehensive security services across all cloud groups. This will help ensure that the organization is still able to scale its services. Improve operational efficiency Reduce costs and reduce risks

• Public Cloud Usage Monitoring and Control

Today, the use of public clouds has been widely accepted all over the world. But there is still the problem of incorrect usage configuration. (Misconfiguration) is still the main cause of system disruption and unexpected damage. Therefore, organizations should have the ability to see changes in various setpoints. on a variety of public cloud infrastructures Through a central platform, reports on regulatory violations can be made easier for organizations to use.
